About fifty different vaccines are being tested around the world but this is the first to show results.

 

Some of its components are said to be Covid’s.

 

One should get two doses in three weeks. Tests happened in US, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Turkey.


Studies have shown that this vaccine could protect a human body from 90 % against Covid-19 after seven days of second dose.

Pfizer declared they could make 50 millions of doses before the end of 2020 and 1,3 milliards before the end of 2021.

For its efficacy, the vaccine should be protected under 80Celcium and till now, it’s still a mystery how long it could protect against covid-19.

 

“We are about to give the world the cure they need to end this pandemic time” declared Dr Albert Bourla from Pfizer.

 

“This is a big step” declared Prof Ugur Sahin, from German BioNTech.

 Studies are not final. Studies were about first 94 people who got infected with covid-19, which means things could change.
