It is unusual for a vaccine to have those kind of numbers, and it could be less effective. But that doesn't mean that, even though it's less than 90, it's not pretty on board with most vaccines. So we're just so lucky that we had such robust faccines that we can take a bit of a hit in the efficacy and still have a significant benefit from them.
The science behind how and when to give vaccines doses.
As vaccines are rolled out, massive logistical challenges are leading scientists and policymakers to consider alternative dosing strategies.
But what does the science say? In this week’s episode of Coronapod, we discuss mixing and matching vaccines and lengthening the time between doses. Approaches like these could ease logistical concerns, but we ask what's known about their impact on vaccine efficacy – what is the science behind the decisions, and could they actually boost immune responses?
