Vaccines have been proven to almost eradicate deadly and debilitating diseases such as smallpox and polio.Â
So, one can imagine how excited and hopeful I am that we have achieved a miracle in our work to end COVID-19 pandemic â a vaccine!Â
Vaccine manufacturers, under Operation Warp Speed, defied the odds and have given us two safe and very effective vaccines in record time.
Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines utilize new mRNA technology and are shown to be around 95 percent effective after the second dose.Â
The mRNA technology has never been used in any previous vaccines, but the science is not new.
