The Food and Drug Administration, the CDC and National Institutes of Health have -- largely at the behest of advocates in the LGBTQ community -- launched many studies on the JYNNEOS vaccine's safety and effectiveness since the outbreak began in May.
The CDC has yet to release data on efficacy after full vaccination, even though two shots is the consensus recommendation among federal public health officials. It's also not clear how much of a role behavioral changes might be playing in the data on the vaccine's effectiveness.
