June 16 (UPI) -- A single dose of one of the two-shot COVID-19 vaccines prevented an estimated 95% of new infections among healthcare workers two weeks after receiving the jab, a study published Wednesday by JAMA Network Open found.
The first dose of the Moderna vaccine was 78% effective at preventing new cases just one week after clinical staff were inoculated, the data showed.
Still, 39, or just over 1%, of the nearly 3,400 health workers who received the vaccine later became infected with the virus, said researchers, from the VA Boston Healthcare System.
These "breakthrough" infections occurred at least 14 days after they had received their first dose, and 27 of them developed symptoms of the disease. RELATED Study: COVID-19 vaccine booster dose safe, needed for transplant patients
"[Even] at the height of Boston's winter surge, ... rapid first-dose vaccination of healthcare workers ... helped sustain healthcare delivery," study co-author Dr. Michael E. Charness told UPI in an email.
However, "full vaccination is still recommended for sustained immunity and protection against emerging variants," said Charness, chief of staff at the VA Boston Healthcare System.
Both two-dose COVID-19 vaccines, from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, offer more than 90% protection against serious illness from the virus, research found. RELATED Expert: COVID-19 vaccines safe for kids, may allow return to 'normal life'
They work by using modified genetic material from the coronavirus to stimulate the production of antibodies, or cells that fight off infections, by the immune system, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This essentially primes the immune system to respond when or if a vaccinated person is exposed to the virus, the agency says.
Although studies have found that one dose of either of the two-shot vaccines offers at least some protection against the virus, they are most effective among those who are considered "fully vaccinated," defined as two weeks after receipt of the second shot.

For this study, Charness and his colleagues assessed the effectiveness of one dose of the Moderna vaccine in more than 4,000 healthcare workers at the VA Boston Healthcare System during the winter spike of COVID-19 cases in the Boston area.
Just under 3,400, or about 84%, of the staff had received one dose of the vaccine by the end of the 42-day study period on Feb. 1, the researchers said.
Among the included healthcare workers, 107 new COVID-19 cases were reported during the study period, the data showed.
Of these, 39 were in those who had received their first dose and 68 occurred in those who had not received a shot, according to the researchers.
"Vaccine effectiveness may vary depending on the age, exposure and health risks of a population and transmissibility of variants," Charness said.
"Our work was done at the time the [original Wuhan variant was dominant, [and] efficacy might be different with the currently prevalent variants," such as the B.1.1.7 or Delta strains, he said.
Took maximum ibuprofren doses before and after round two to avoid the hangover and hot flashes.

I don’t want to get the vaccine. I think, if I didn’t get covid by now I’m probably not going to, but I’m only a contractor who can lose his job at a snap and it’s basically a requirement, without them saying so.
Please let us know if you start hear old radio brodcasts when you get near a cell tower or a thunderstorm.
This is about as true as the Biden poll numbers.
SUCH B.S.
But when big media, big tech, big pharma and THE RATS control the narrative, it is not surprising.
The vaccine is successful, a shame about the patients.

Had a nasty bout of joint aches in places where I’d never had them (as well as the usual suspects) about 2 weeks after round one.
Nothing like that after round two,
That was four months ago and unmasked life is great.
I’ll bet Moderna wanted to bill the Government for two rather than one.... why sell desperate people one cure when two can be bought for twice the amount!
This is a RELATIVE reduction, not an absolute one. The ABSOLUTE reduction in transmission is about 1% for this and the other “vaccines”, and that’s only if we cherry-pick their data.
Totally bogus numbers. They don’t know who has had covid, so they are only guessing at these numbers.
“hangover and hot flashes.”
THAT MEANS ITS WORKING!
Had Moderna in Feb and March. Only side effect was a persistent sore shoulder. No fever, chills, nothing.
The vaccine industry is pure liars. Evil bastards. Satans workers.

zero immunity. True immunity that leads to health and fitness
can only be achieved by making healthy lifestyle and dietary choices.”

I get 5 bars on my cell phone at all times since I got the 2nd shot, and the download speeds on my laptop are constantly at the peak of the range.
“Estimated 95%”
Lol and I estimate that I am a fit 160 lbs……
Unmasked life without a vaccine is great too. Just sayin’.
