WELCOME TO 2021!
Here the first January COVID-19 update from Dr. Campbell. This update looks at the various vaccines, successful vaccination roll-outs, and when to give the second dose. He also reports on how effective the Oxford vaccine is vs. the Pfizer vaccine. 01/02/21.
The Oxford vaccine is now approved in India. India has been particularly hard-hit by this virus, so this is really good news. So far, the efficacy of those vaccinated with one dose of the Oxford vaccine in the U.K. is 100% for protection against severe illness and hospitalization at three weeks after injection. (But, watch the video for more information.) The Oxford vaccine probably won't be approved in the U.S. until April. As I've mentioned before, the Oxford vaccine is the least expensive of all of the vaccines approved so far (something like $2.85 per dose, or so).
