Covid-19 Vaccine Update: The Coronavirus vaccine created by Moderna is safer for adults and will help prevent serious cases of COVID-19. This information has been obtained from the data released on Tuesday by the US Food and Drug Administration. According to a New York Times report, the agency may give the use of the vaccine to the Emergency Authority on Friday. With this decision, millions of American people will get the second coronavirus vaccine from next week.
Vaccine 94.1 percent effective
Moderna’s earlier assessment in a review by the FDA confirmed that its vaccine is 94.1 percent effective. The agency found that side effects, including fever, headache, and fatigue, are not difficult but dangerous.
Moderna’s success has become much more important in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic because all other vaccine efforts have weakened. The news of this expectation has come at a time when hospitals are under pressure due to the number of records of coronavirus and the number of deaths has also increased.

They will listen to Moderna, FDA scientists and people, after which vote on the suggestion of approval. The panel is expected to vote yes and FDA generally accepts the suggestions of experts. After this, the delivery of about 60 lakh doses can start next week. With this, millions of doses are already being sent by Pfizer and BioNTech. Health workers received the first shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Monday, which is 95 percent effective.
People are waiting for the introduction of the vaccine and it is one of the most ambitious vaccination campaigns in America. The Federal Government signed an agreement with Moderna and Pfizer last summer under which a total of 200 million doses would be delivered in the first quarter of 2021. Because both vaccines require two doses, those contacts will guarantee sufficient doses for 100 million people.
