Agree. I can't find the right information but I suspect that the headline figures from the different vaccine trials may be generated by somewhat different counting methodologies. I think that some of the trials counted from day 1 of the vaccination, and some of them from day 15 - but I am hoping that someone has the actual information!


The vaccines have also been delivered in slightly different contexts that may relate to risk of hospitalisation.

Pfizer, for example, often administered in hospitals due to the freezer requirement.

You could imagine the risk of hospitalisation of an 80 year old who frequents hospitals and one who doesn’t is different.


That's an excellent observation - very challenging to fish that out of the numbers.
