mRNA Vaccines

Pfizer and Moderna vaccines consistently show the highest effectiveness, particularly against hospitalization and death. Booster doses further increase protection, exceeding 95% effectiveness in severe outcomes.

Non-mRNA Vaccines

Viral vector and inactivated vaccines provide strong protection against severe disease, though their effectiveness against infection is lower. These vaccines remain critical in global vaccination efforts.
