    Good Covid-19 vaccine news

    "The company said that the analysis found that the vaccine was more than 90 percent effective in preventing the disease among trial volunteers who had no evidence of prior coronavirus infection. If the results hold up, that level of protection would put it on par with highly effective childhood vaccines for diseases such as measles. No serious safety concerns have been observed, the company said.

    Pfizer plans to ask the Food and Drug Administration for emergency authorization of the two-dose vaccine later this month, after it has collected the recommended two months of safety data. By the end of the year it will have manufactured enough doses to immunize 15 to 20 million people, company executives have said."

    From what I understand...
    The elderly and front line workers would be the first up for vaccination.

    The vast majority of people won't be able to get a vaccination until late summer next year.

    I would not take any rushed to market vaccine. The side effects are going to be Terrible, several of the trials had to be halted due to severe neurological issues for other brands of the vaccine. Logically an all new RNA vaccine should be tried for 5 plus years minimum before it’s approved. To each their own I guess.
