the 90%+ effectiveness is only with 2 does, who knows how long and if it works with only one dose... it's likely not half and/or not for very long...
- jacob019 6y agoImmunity is not binary. Introducing the spike protien to our immune systems now will prime us for a stronger fight later, even if we are not fully immune.
- zbjornson 6y agoModerna's phase 3 includes preliminary data on a single dose, and it appears 80-90% effective at/after two weeks. See table 15 on page 28: https://www.fda.gov/media/144434/download https://www.fda.gov/media/144434/download https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2020/12/18/coronavirus-vaccine-single-dose-debate https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2020/12/18/coronavirus-vac...
- mercurywells 6y agoFrom the same report: > The small, non-random sample and short median follow-up time limits the interpretation of these results. There appears to be some protection against COVID-19 disease following one dose; however, these data do not provide sufficient information about longer term protection beyond 28 days after a single dose. Obviously it'd be great if we can just dose everyone we can once then do a 2nd dose later, but we just don't know enough about how well that would work out long term.
