Billions of doses later: Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise
The review found 87% effectiveness against infection and 94% against mortality, while rare heart side effects were far less common than COVID risks.
- Published Tuesday in The Lancet, a comprehensive review affirms mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe and highly effective, with data from billions of doses confirming protection across diverse populations including children.
- Unlike traditional vaccines, mRNA technology delivers genetic instructions prompting cells to produce harmless spike proteins, teaching the immune system to recognize and destroy the virus.
- Data shows 87% effectiveness against infection and 94% against mortality, with 93% protection against hospitalization, while rare heart-related side effects were significantly lower than risks from a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Co-Author Manish Sadarangani of the Hospital Research Institute noted the resource clarifies vaccine history, and mRNA platforms could soon drive progress in preventive medicine including cancer treatment.
- In Quebec and Alberta, residents may pay up to $180 for shots this year, emphasizing that while researchers explore future applications, equitable access remains critical for the technology's promise.
