Will Vaccine Trials Be Blinded?

Public health leaders are urging the public to get vaccinated, but researchers are suggesting that trial participants remain blinded and forgo vaccination for at least a few more months, he said. Phase 3 trials of the 2 vaccines demonstrated efficacy at warp speed because US COVID-19 cases surged in the fall.

What happens if you don't take the second shot of the COVID-19 vaccine?

Put simply: Not receiving the second vaccine increases your risk of contracting COVID-19.

Can you get COVID-19 after being vaccinated?

Vaccinated people can still become infected and have the potential spread the virus to others, although at much lower rates than unvaccinated people. The risks of SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people are higher where community transmission of the virus is widespread.
