Yeah wtf @ 100% effective. Is there any other vaccine in the world that's at 100%? Polio?
Oh wow if you have 3 doses of the polio vaccine, its considered 99%+ effective. Four doses is 100%.

I read it as 95% Effective in preventing the disease entirely and 100% effective in preventing "Severe Illness", like if you happen to contract it it'll be mild.
first two cases of the new covid variant found in Canada in an Ontario couple, the couple had no history of travel but had been in contact with a traveler from the UK recently.

This part must be a recent development, cause when this first broke a couple days ago, all that was known was "no known travel history".Provincial officials said the cases involved a couple from Durham Region with no known travel history, but had been in contact with a recent traveller from the U.K.
I'm a little disturbed by the lack of "this traveler from the UK has been tested and is in isolation awaiting results" though.
Saw this and saved it for Nynja
Nynja lives in Ontario, "I" live in Alberta v.v
Close to 10 million doses have been delivered, but only 2 million people have been vaccinated. WTF?
Does the 1st shot at least help? I always figured the multi dose shots were to slowly increase the effectiveness, but each shot helps a little?
I got the moderna vaccine today.
65%~ efficacy with the first dose (takes a few weeks to reach this as your body responds). Second dose is designed to go in when your body is coming from peak response so that the immune system responds even more robustly. This is what maximizes response and creates a good memory response.
It's difficult to say whether that response will be effective when the immune system quiets down in 4-5 months, but the hope is circulating memory cells will reduce the severity of the illness, which is all vaccines really do - give the immune system time to respond before severe illness sets in.
