US biotech company Moderna Inc. claims that their vaccine is 94.5% effective in protecting against Covid-19.
The Moderna vaccine against coronavirus is 94.5% effective, according to Moderner on Monday (November 16).
The Moderna vaccine is claimed to be more effective than the Pfizer vaccine, another pharmaceutical company in the United States. Earlier, Pfizer claimed that their vaccine was able to protect humans from Covid-19 by more than 90 percent.
"This is very good news," said Anthony Fawcett, a top infectious disease specialist in the United States. The ability to provide 94.5 percent protection from Covid-19 is truly remarkable.
Moderna said on Monday that it is a great day and plans to apply for vaccine approval soon.
Moderna’s Chief Medical Officer Tal Jacques said, "Improving the vaccine is one of the best moments of my life and career,". It's amazing to see such effective results in disease prevention. '
The company claims that in the final test, 30,000 people in the United States were given two doses of the vaccine four weeks apart. No illness or physical complications have been reported so far. No one was seriously ill. There have been no serious side effects from the Moderna vaccine. However, some of those whose doses have been applied have felt the effects of body aches and headaches.
Another advantage of the Moderna vaccine is that it can be refrigerated for 30 days. On the other hand, Pfizer vaccine can be kept in the fridge for five days only.
