Hey John. Do you think vaccine diturbutors should check essential workers for antibodies before giving the vaccine (not wasting vaccines on healthy people that already have antibodies as it might not help)?
Also is there reason to believe there is a differece in immunity time between vaccinated people and people who had the disease?
Hey, John, would you like to correct Nature? In the Nature Briefing, they wrote, "The COVID vaccine developed by Moderna, which was authorized by US regulators last month, can provide protection against COVID-19 within two weeks of the first dose, according to the results of a large clinical trial. (Reference: New England Journal of Medicine paper)"
However, the actual paper (https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2035389) says, "The finding of fewer occurrences of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection after a single dose of mRNA-1273 is encouraging; however, the trial was not designed to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose, and additional evaluation is warranted."
I think Nature's description is at best misleading. What about you?
