The coronavirus vaccination efforts have seen varying degrees of success around the world so far. More than 268 million doses have been administered worldwide, according to March 2nd data, and countries like Israel and the UK have already reported great results. New studies show the vaccines work as expected, reducing the risk of severe COVID-19 that can lead to hospitalization and death. The studies also show that the vaccine is highly effective against the UK mutation, which is dominant in the two countries and might reach a similar status in other regions. It’s only a partial success though, because the vaccine supply is still nowhere near enough to meet the world’s needs. Also, many countries are left out of this initial wave of vaccinations, including most developing nations. Some mutations can reduce the effectiveness of vaccines as well, like the South African and Brazilian mutants that have been discovered recently.
So far, the vaccines have been well-tolerated and the adverse reactions are minimal. But doctors have started observing an unexpected coronavirus vaccine side effect that warrants attention. This time around, however, it's good news: Vaccines might address the “Long COVID” symptoms that some COVID-19 survivors experience.
