The COVID 19 Vaccine- Part 2- what the front line provider needs to know, review of the pfizer study
This is Part 2 of our discussion of the COVID-19 vaccines. With frontline providers across the country (and world) asking themselves "Am I comfortable getting this vaccine?" we thought it important to review some of the basic science (Part 1) and data (Part 2) behind these mRNA vaccines.
In this podcast we ask
What did the Pfizer phase 3 study show?
What outcomes did they look at?
Did they meet those outcome targets?
Specifically- what the vaccine effective ... and was it safe?
