Asking for Moderna to delay seems reasonable to me. Different ethnic groups may have different responses to the vaccine. Fortunately Pfizer’s numbers in the article show good efficacy across all groups (except it’s lower for Brazilians?)
- dm319 6y agoWhat is particularly interesting is the response in the elderly population, as it's this group that seem most at-risk. The earlier studies were done in a younger population without co-morbidities, but later studies included all-comers. The pfizer study included older patients, though not many by the looks of it. They allowed for those with chronic conditions, though not if they were immunocompromised as a result of it. 9% black/african-american and 28% hispanic.
