Where did you get that info? I didn’t read it in the release.

That’s not good though... really could but a kink in establishing herd immunity until everyone is actually vaccinated.

Pfizer released the study design, available at https://pfe-pfizercom-d8-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/2020-09/C4591.... It's a long document, but it's in there.

My wife is in a different vaccine trial. For her they do a test monthly. They also do a blood draw where I would guess they are checking for antibodies, but I don't know. In addition, she reports in every single day with an app for symptom reporting.

That data may be collected in trials, but it isn’t always used for determining the primary outcome(s)
