WASHINGTON, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Patients, clinicians and families facing uncertainty about their choices for managing Type 2 diabetes and rare diseases will gain new evidence to inform their decision making from comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) studies that the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Board of Governors today approved for a total of $42.7 million in new funding.
The PCORI Board approved another $5.8 million for four projects that aim to accelerate the adoption of useful findings from completed PCORI-funded research in clinical care. The Board also approved PCORI s CER funding announcements on three topics: maternal health, urinary incontinence and mental health among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Will the vaccine protect us against Covid-19?
The Novavax vaccine has 95% efficacy against the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. This means in clinical trials 5% of those who contracted Covid-19 had received the vaccine. It is also 86% effective against the Kent variant, with the two figures averaging out at 89.3%. A good flu vaccine is about 60% effective, so we are over the moon with 89.3% efficacy. Another Novavax trial in South Africa is in its second phase and has demonstrated 60% efficacy against the South African variant.
However, protection and immunity are really about vaccinating whole populations and less about individuals. There are two aspects.
The first is: does the vaccine stop people getting ill, being admitted to hospital, and dying? The answer is ‘Yes’, we have good evidence that this vaccine does.
