Mark Pfister, Lake County Health Department executive director, talked to students about the development and effectiveness of the COVID vaccine. “The technology and being able to look at the genomic sequence made it much more beneficial to put this vaccine together in a timely manner, but billions of dollars were allocated for additional research and development, and I think thats what a lot of us forget about; pharmaceutical companies, when they do research and development, they want to invest in something that is going to be a return on their investment. Usually, the flu vaccines tend not to be a large return on their investment, so in this case, theyre getting a large return on investment and put in the research that was necessary to get these very highly effective vaccines that are 90 plus percent effective,” Pfister said. “The flu vaccines tend to be about 40 to 60% effective, so great, great work that they did to get these very effective vaccines.”
