Story 1: Reduced Severe Illness
In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was 95% effective in preventing severe illness from COVID-19. This means that people who received the vaccine were 95% less likely to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19.
Story 2: Protected Healthcare Workers
A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that the Moderna vaccine was 94% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in healthcare workers. This means that healthcare workers who received the vaccine were 94% less likely to get sick with COVID-19.
Story 3: Saved Lives
The CDC estimates that as of March 2021, COVID-19 vaccines have saved over 100,000 lives in the United States. This means that vaccines are not only effective in preventing severe illness, but they are also saving lives.
