The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a new study that determined which of the three US-approved COVID-19 vaccines are most effective at preventing hospitalization, intensive care, or possible intubation
A recent study by the CDC found that the Moderna vaccine was slightly more effective at preventing hospital admissions than the Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
In total, about 32,000 patients were enrolled over the summer, treated in hospitals in nine states by the CDC and found the Moderna syringe to be the most effective.
Overall, the three vaccines were 86 percent effective at preventing hospital stays, with Moderna recipients showing 95 percent protection, while Pfizer was 80 percent and the Johnson & Johnson single shot vaccine was 60 percent.
The latest CDC report does not state what makes the Moderna vaccine more effective than its counterparts, although it has been reported that one possibility is that its doses are three times higher and the interval between the two vaccinations is four weeks longer than three.
It has been reported that researchers have found that the longer intervals between shots, possibly even beyond four weeks, could be beneficial in developing immunity to the virus. </ p Federal and local health officials continue to urge Americans to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which has been shown to be effective against serious illness or the like he prevent hospitalization for those who contract the virus.
« The bottom line is: We have the scientific tools we need to turn this pandemic around, » said CDC Director Rochelle Walensky in her latest COVID-19 briefing at the White House. « The vaccination works and will keep us safe from the serious complications of COVID-19. »
