A discussion ensues among the leadership tasked with ordering, which vaccine(s) to obtain.
Question:
According to recent national guidelines and research papers, which of the following statements is correct about these 3 COVID-19 vaccines?
Answer Options:
All 3 vaccines are nearly 100% effective at preventing death from COVID-19; however, the J/J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is less effective (73%) than the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines (95% effective) at preventing hospitalizations due to COVID-19.
Both the Moderna and J/J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines can be stored in a regular freezer at -25°C and -15°C (-13°F and 5°F), whereas the Pfizer-BioNTech requires super-cold storage.
The J/J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine remains usable for 12 hours after puncture, whereas Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines only remain usable for 6 hours after puncture of the vial.
