• 75 years or older, the age group that comprises about 60% of all COVID-19 deaths, the vaccine may be 0% effective
• In children age 16 to 17 the vaccine may not be effective
• The clinical trial did not have enough statistical power to measure the vaccine’s ability to prevent hospitalizations and deaths
• The trial did not assess if the vaccine prevents asymptomatic infection or spread (transmission) of the virus
