Do vaccines need to be 100% effective? Fauci says otherwise

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top infectious diseases expert highlighted that to fight the pandemic, vaccines need not be 100 percent effective.

If the vaccines are half effective, even then it would be of great help in controlling the infection. This does not mean that Coronavirus will be eliminated completely. It will only reduce the impact to the extent that it will not interfere with the daily lives of people in terms of economy and employment.
