Doctors say CDC should warn people the side effects from Covid vaccine shots won’t be ‘a walk in the park’

Tue, 2020-11-24 21:24 — mike kraft

Public health officials and drugmakers need to warn people that coronavirus vaccine shots may have some rough side effects so they know what to expect and aren’t scared away from getting the second dose, doctors urged during a meeting Monday with CDC advisors.

The recommendations come as states prepare to distribute the potentially life-saving vaccinations as early as next month.

Dr. Sandra Fryhofer of the American Medical Association said both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccines require two doses at varying intervals. As a practicing physician, she said she worries whether her patients will come back for a second dose because of the potentially unpleasant side effects they may experience after the first shot.

OP-ED :Covid-19 Data Is a Mess. We Need a Way to Make Sense of It.

Tue, 2020-11-24 10:39 — mike kraft

The United States is more than eight months into the pandemic and people are back waiting in long lines to be tested as coronavirus infections surge again. And yet there is still no federal standard to ensure testing results are being uniformly reported. Without uniform results, it is impossible to track cases accurately or respond effectively.

ANALYSIS: Why emergency COVID-vaccine approvals pose a dilemma for scientists

Mon, 2020-11-23 13:19 — mike kraft

Why emergency COVID-vaccine approvals pose a dilemma for scientists Immunizations are speeding towards approval before clinical trials end, but scientists say this could complicate efforts to study long-term effects. David Cyranoski nature

After a flurry of positive results from clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines, developers are now seeking ‘emergency use’ approvals, which could see these immunizations deployed in potentially tens of millions of people. But scientists are concerned that this kind of early deployment could compromise the ongoing clinical trials that seek to show conclusively how well the vaccines work.
