The effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine waned over six months, but experts say the data still don t point to an immediate need for booster shots.
The study, which hasn t yet been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal, found that the vaccine was 97 percent effective at preventing severe disease from COVID-19 for at least six months but the effectiveness against any symptomatic illness dropped from 96 percent to 84 percent in the same period, falling by about 6 percent every two months.
