The Conway Regional Health System hosted a COVID-19 vaccine Q&A on its Facebook page on Dec. 27, answering common questions about the new COVID-19 vaccine with Dr. Alex Freeman of Freeman Family Medicine in Conway.
Freeman tried to give the public more confidence and increase willingness to take the vaccine by describing how effective the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are.
âIn terms of the efficacy, [the numbers] have been great,â Freeman said. â[Both vaccines] have been shown to be 94 to 95 percent effective.â
He added that even those who contract the coronavirus after receiving a vaccine have been shown to have much fewer complications.
