“The Moderna vaccine can provide 80.2% protection after one dose, compared to 95.6% after the second (in people aged 18 to 65 – it's 86.4% in those over 65)” REF: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210114-covid-19-how-effective-is-a-single-vaccine-dose *& Please be aware that this would be at least 14 days after vaccination.
