Vaccines

  • According to the CDC on January 30th 2021 there are now two authorized vaccines in the US,
    • Moderna, NIAID Vaccine
    • BioNTech, Fosun Phama, Pfizer Vaccine
  • These Vaccines have very limited availability at this time and the government is trying to coordinate distribution throughout the country. The vaccines is thought to be effective on COVID-19. According to WHO doctor DR. Soumya Swaminathan, The vaccine is thought to have some effect on the new variants of the virus but it is not yet known how effective it will be for the African strain of the virus. Some speculate that with the rapid mutations we are seeing with COVID-19 it will likely have new variants each year. To treat each variant we may need an altered vaccine. This could mean that each year a new COVID Vaccine may need to be developed to treat variants and mutations similarly to how the flu vaccine is adjusted.
