They found that the messenger RNA(mRNA) vaccines developed by Pfizer-Biotech and Modern prevented 80% of cases after the first dose. 90% cases after the second dose. This test was made after every week 13 weeks.
There is a dearth of tests being done in India. But, both the companies claim that their vaccines reduce the risk of transmission. Moreover, they also claim that their vaccines provide protection for at least six months.
