  1. Comparison of COVID 19 Vaccines HOW DO THE DIFFERENT COVID-19 VACCINES COMPARE? As we enter the new year, countries around the world are preparing to start mass vaccination in an effort to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple vaccine candidates have been approved by different health authorities worldwide, and some countries have already started vaccinating their citizens. Several COVID-19 vaccines have made the headlines recently, and these include the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, the Moderna vaccine, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, the Russian Sputnik V vaccine, and the Chinese CoronaVac and Sinopharm vaccines. There’s a lot of news going around these different vaccines, so how do they compare?

  2. Pfizer/Biontech Vaccine The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was the first COVID-19 vaccine to reach the final stages of testing. It was developed as a result of a collaboration between Pfizer, the American pharmaceutical giant, and BioNTech, the German biotechnology company. The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is an mRNA vaccine and not a traditional vaccine. mRNA vaccines have never been previously used in humans outside of trial settings, however, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has received authorization from different health authorities worldwide, such as the United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You can check our article on mRNA vaccines to learn more about how they work. Pfizer has reported that the vaccine is 95% effective in preventing corona infections and that the vaccine is safe and causes no serious side effects. The data is based on a clinical study that involved more than 43,000 individuals. The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is administered in 2 doses, with each dose estimated to cost $19.50. The vaccine, however, poses a logistics problem, since it can only be stored at -70 C, which might be a problem especially in under-developed countries where such refrigeration is not widely available. Nevertheless, national and international plans for distribution are being implemented to accommodate these logistic needs. Pfizer has promised to produce up to 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021. Moderna Vaccine Moderna is an American biotechnology company that made headlines in 2020 after announcing their mRNA COVID-vaccine. The vaccine uses the same technology as that used by Pfizer/BioNTech and was also well received by health authorities worldwide. Modena’s vaccine is also 95% effective in preventing infection with the novel coronavirus. 30,000 people were enrolled in Moderna’s phase III clinical trial, and the researchers concluded that the vaccine is safe, and causes only rare side effects. https://myacare.com/en/mya-blog/comparison-of-covid-19-vaccines Article Source :
