Oxford researchers found that the Covid vaccine was 76% effective at preventing symptomatic infection for three months after a single dose, and in fact that the efficacy rate rose with a longer interval between the first and second doses.
A delay in the second dose means more people can get their first vaccines sooner because it eases a tight supply. Vaccine efficacy after a single standard dose of vaccine from day 22 to day 90 post vaccination was 76% . and modelled analysis indicated that protection did not wane during this initial 3 month period, the study found. It was published on Tuesday as a preprint and is under review at The Lancet medical journal.

COVID Vaccine Effectiveness After First Dose and How Long It Takes to Build Immunity
On 2/1/21 at 7:43 AM EST
How effective is a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccines that are currently available in the United States? And how long does it take to build up maximum immunity after receiving the shots?
Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines appear to provide some protection after the first dose. But their headline efficacy ratings are only based on assessments of people who have received two shots.

Pfizer-BioNTech
Clinical trials evaluating the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which requires two shots given 21 days apart, reported an efficacy of 52 percent after the first dose.
