COVID-19 vaccines that reduce symptoms but do not block infection need higher coverage and faster rollout to achieve population impact
Trial results for two COVID-19 vaccines suggest at least 90% efficacy against symptomatic
disease (VEDIS). It remains unknown whether this efficacy is mediated by lowering SARS …
