Leading pharmaceutical corporation Moderna announced that its COVID-19 vaccine is effective by 93% through six months after the second dose, Reuters reported on Thursday.

On the other hand, various experts still believe in the necessity of extra shots amid the winter season to avoid any unstoppable surge in daily COVID-19 infections, and the outbreak of mutated versions of the virus such as Delta, and Lambda.

In the same context, several countries officially announced giving their residents a third vaccine dose for fully vaccinated people such as France, and Germany.

Germany will use Moderna to vaccinate people who received two Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines to provide them extra protection against the virus, especially after the beginning of the fourth wave of the virus.
