During her weekly conversation with WBFO, Nielsen referenced studies that have been examining vaccine effectiveness. We learned from a study that vaccination with those two vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) is 80 percent effective against infection, Nielsen said. That s really good news.
Masks, though still play an important role. Remember one-fifth of those who got vaccinated, got infected. They weren t sick but they got infected, Nielsen pointed out. We know that people who are infected and asymptomatic are a major reason for spread to other people. The best way to stop asymptomatic spread, Nielsen says, is to continue wearing masks even if you ve been vaccinated.
