COVID-19 Vaccine Comparison

To aid your decision, compare the effectiveness, the number of doses, side effects, and more for vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Sinovac.

A number of medical studies have proved that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing people from getting COVID-19. The vaccines do not only reduce the chance of infection, but they also help to mitigate disease severity in case a person becomes infected.

Although vaccines appear to be acknowledged worldwide due to their efficacy, people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 should still keep taking precautions and preventive measures in public areas, e.g. wearing a mask, maintaining social distancing, avoiding crowds, and poorly ventilated spaces as well as frequent hand washing.

To remain safe and healthy, it is essential to know and have a better understanding of important information related to COVID-19 vaccines prior to vaccination.
