As the United States inches closer to authorizing a Covid-19 vaccine many people may now let themselves start wondering what it will feel like to get it.
Is it going to be like the flu vaccine? Will it be more painful? And what about side-effects? The two front-runners for getting an emergency use authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration -- Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna -- use new mRNA technology. No US-licensed vaccine has ever used it, although researchers have been studying it for decades, against infections like flu, rabies and Zika, and even for some types of cancer.
Are Covid-19 vaccines safe? CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta has answers. 02:27Side effect like the ones Batalvi experienced should not be confused with safety issues. Any vaccine maker looking for FDA approval or authorization has to show two months' worth of safety data after the second dose is given -- because that's when most serious safety issues have occurred in earlier trials. On that front, it's so far, so good for both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
Batalvi said he looks forward to this pandemic ending so that his family can meet his sister's new twins -- a boy and a girl -- born earlier in the week. "I hope once this vaccine comes out, people feel confident taking it. I mean, I'm right here: I took the vaccine -- it was all right. I think we can get through this," he said.
Second thoughts anyone..? Could save your life..
I really hope that the vaccine can be marketed as soon as possible, so that the people of the United States and people all over the world can enjoy and stop the epidemic. I hope that Biden can work around it.
So the vaccine will not prevent someone from catching or spreading the virus? It helps the person fight off the symptoms of the virus. So what is the 95% rate refer to?
drsanjaygupta Vaccines are usually studied for years until they are rolled out. This has been incredibly rushed, the entire population will be the lab rats here.
All these anti-vaxxer posts remind me that people would rather risk death than deny their belief systems despite all evidence to the contrary of what they think. So glad you idiots weren’t around when they were trying to get rid of polio
