Original articles on efficacy and safety of COVID 19 Vaccines

The New England Journal of Medicine has published articles recently on the important issue of safety and efficacy of vaccines being rolled out for COVID 19.

Efficacy and safety of the mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine by Lindsey R. Baden et al., for the COVE Study Group. December 30, 2020 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2035389

Safety and Efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine by Fernando P. Polack et al., for the C4591001 Clinical Trial Group. December 31, 2020 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2034577 N Engl J Med 2020; 383:2603-2615. 

These vaccines showed a 94.1% and 95% efficacy in preventing COVID 19.

Both articles have a "Quick Take" video linked into it - great visuals to share.
