MetroHealth's Dr. Amy Ray and NEOMED virologist Dr. Angelo DeLucia, answer this week's questions.
As Ohio maps out who’s next-in-line for the COVID-19 vaccine, you’ve got questions on how effective the vaccine is and who needs to get it. In this edition of “OH Really?,” we’ll find out.
The COVID vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna are said to be at least 90 percent effective. Gary from Wayne County wants to know if that means around 90 percent of the people being vaccinated will form an immunity. I spoke with Angelo DeLucia, a professor of molecular virology at NEOMED. He says the number derives from clinical testing.
