Covid-19: Moderna vaccine is reportedly more effective and easier to store than Pfizer’s




A Moderna-developed vaccine is reportedly more effective and easier to store than Pfizer’s.

According to Moderna, their vaccine has been proved to be ‘94.5%’ effective in trials, while Pfizer claims that theirs is ‘90%.’

Also, Pfizer’s vaccine must be kept at a temperature of -70C, which poses significant logistical challenges as most GPs and clinics would not have suitable facilities to accommodate such deep-cold storage. In contrast, Moderna’s vaccine has been shown to be stable at -20C, a temperature easily achieved by modern refrigerators.
