Previous #COVID19 infection (+ve by PCR or Ab) provides 94% protection from reinfection 6-9 months later. South London 66,001 patient study. 8 reinfections (proven by +ve PCR), one of whom required hospital admission. tinyurl.com/y2779dyt

This will go down in history as one of science and medical research's greatest achievements. Perhaps the most impressive.
I put together a preliminary timeline of some key milestones to show how several years of work were compressed into months.

What bad luck! In the Moderna #COVID19 vaccine trial there were 3 serious adverse events in persons who received the active vaccine. One was cardiac arrhythmia after one of the participants in the study was struck by lightning.
Moderna vaccine EUA was based on 30,351 people enrolled and randomized 13,982 actually completed both doses of the vaccine (13,916 completed both placebo doses). It was 94.1% effective in preventing COVID-19 disease among participants who received vaccine compared to placebo.
Symptoms were worse after the second dose. Data did not evaluate whether the vaccine prevents asymptomatic viral infection so still need masks for this one too.
The vaccine is to prevent COVID19 illness which causes a bunch of these symptoms (and more including death).#maskup #healthcareheroes #covidvaccine #covid19heroes
