Today the FDA is expected to vote on emergency approval for the Pfizer COVID vaccine and next week they will vote on the Moderna vaccine. LSU Health New Orleans Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Fred Lopez said this is good news considering we are seeing a spike in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
“But the fact that we have two vaccines, which look so effective, up to 95% effectiveness, in fact, is really encouraging,” said Lopez.
With two COVID vaccine options on the cusp of being approved when asked which one you should take Dr. Lopez said to take the first one that is offered to you.
