A new vaccine that protects against Covid-19 is nearly 95% effective, early data from US company Moderna shows.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The results come hot on the heels of similar results from Pfizer, and add to growing confidence that vaccines can help end the pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Both companies used a highly innovative and experimental approach to designing their vaccines.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Moderna says it is a \u201cgreat day\u201d and they plan to apply for approval to use the vaccine in the next few weeks.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

However, this is still early data and key questions remain unanswered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How good is it?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine, four weeks apart. The rest had dummy injections.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Only five of the Covid cases were in people given the vaccine, 90 were in those given the dummy treatment. The company says the vaccine is protecting 94.5%.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The data also shows there were 11 cases of severe Covid in the trial, but none happened in people who were immunised.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\u201cThe overall effectiveness has been remarkable\u2026 it\u2019s a great day,\u201d Tal Zaks, the chief medical officer at Moderna, told BBC News.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What don\u2019t we know?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

We still do not know how long immunity will last as volunteers will have to be followed for much longer before that can be answered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There is also no data on how well it works in older age groups, who are most at risk of dying from Covid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However, Mr Zaks told the BBC their data so far suggests the vaccine \u201cdoes not appear to lose its potency\u201d with age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

And it is not known whether the vaccine just stops people becoming severely ill, or if it stops them spreading the virus too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

All these questions will affect how a coronavirus vaccine is used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Is it safe?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

No significant safety concerns have been reported, but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Short lived fatigue, headache and pain were reported after the injection in some patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThese effects are what we would expect with a vaccine that is working and inducing a good immune response,\u201d said Prof Peter Openshaw, from Imperial College London.<\/p>\n

\n

How does this compare to the Pfizer vaccine?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Both vaccines use the same approach of injecting part of the virus\u2019s genetic code in order to provoke an immune response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The preliminary data we have seen so far is very similar \u2013 around\u00a090% protection for the Pfizer vaccine<\/a>\u00a0and around 95% for Moderna\u2019s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However, both trials are still taking place and the final numbers could change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Moderna\u2019s vaccine appears to be easier to store as it remains stable at minus 20C for up to six months and can be kept in a standard fridge for up to a month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pfizer\u2019s vaccine needs ultra-cold storage at around minus 75C, but it can be kept in the fridge for five days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Sputnik V vaccine, developed in Russian, has also released very early data which\u00a0suggests it is 92% effective<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When will I get it?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

That depends on where you are in the world and how old you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Moderna says it will apply to regulators in the US in the coming weeks. It expects to have 20 million doses available in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The company hopes to have up to one billion doses available for use around the world next year and is planning to seek approval in other countries too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The UK government is still negotiating with Moderna as their vaccine is not one of the six it has already pre-ordered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The UK has\u00a0outlined plans<\/a>\u00a0that prioritise the oldest people for immunisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Moderna has developed an \u201cRNA vaccine\u201d \u2013 it means part of the coronavirus\u2019s genetic code is injected into the body.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

This starts making viral proteins, but not the whole virus, which is enough to train the immune system to attack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It should train the body to make both antibodies \u2013 and another part of the immune system called T-cells to fight the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
