The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was 90% effective at preventing hospitalizations among young adults aged 18-24, according to a new study. The study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, found that the vaccine was also 89% effective at preventing ICU admissions and 86% effective at preventing deaths among young adults. These findings add to the growing body of evidence that the Moderna vaccine is highly effective at protecting people from severe COVID-19 disease..
The study included over 2 million young adults who were vaccinated with either the Moderna vaccine or a placebo. The researchers followed the participants for an average of 6 months and found that those who were vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine were much less likely to be hospitalized, admitted to the ICU, or die from COVID-19..
The findings of this study are consistent with the results of other studies that have looked at the effectiveness of the Moderna vaccine. A study published in the journal The Lancet in June found that the Moderna vaccine was 94% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 disease and 100% effective at preventing severe COVID-19 disease. Another study, published in the journal JAMA in July, found that the Moderna vaccine was 93% effective at preventing hospitalizations from COVID-19..
The findings of these studies provide strong evidence that the Moderna vaccine is highly effective at protecting people from severe COVID-19 disease. The vaccine is safe and effective, and it is the best way to protect yourself from COVID-19..
Here are some additional key findings from the study:.
– The Moderna vaccine was 90% effective at preventing hospitalizations from COVID-19 among young adults aged 18-24..
