Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine is 94.5% Effective-Start Rolling Out in December2020.

Let's just hope that everything goes back to normal. The world cannot keep on going like this. Living becomes a struggle  everywhere.This year we have to pretend that we're all distraught about not getting to spend time with extended family, instead of having to pretend that we're happy to spend time with them.

Moderna’s new corona vaccine proves 94.5% effective.

Moderna's vaccine was created just days after covid was sequenced, back in January. The next virus could be sequenced, analyzed, and emailed to thousands of hospitals around the world within a month. No longer will we need to wait for the old chicken-egg method taking 6+ months.

LATEST UPDATE:

Moderna said it’s “actively preparing” for the launch of its vaccine, which is one of four going through Phase 3 clinical trials in the US. The company has enrolled 30,000 people in the study and has said it could have enough data to seek emergency approval for the shot by the end of November.

Moderna's vaccine will last 30 days in the refrigerator, while Pfizer's only lasts five days, according to CNN. Moderna added that their vaccine will last 12 hours at room temperature. In the New York Times article, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University, said the relative ease of handling the Moderna vaccine would give it a big advantage over Pfizer's.

Both Pfizer and Moderna said they expected to apply within weeks to the FDA for emergency authorization to begin vaccinating the public. Moderna said it would have 20 million doses ready by the end of 2020 and Pfizer said it would have about 50 million by then. Both vaccines require two shots, so 20 million doses would be enough for 10 million people. This news is certainly hopeful, but as Dr. Fauci recommended, we should continue to do what we can to prevent the spread of the disease until these vaccines actually become available to everyone.
