What about new variants and the possibility of “immunity escape”? ............................................................ 13 The table outlines the approaches that vaccine companies are taking to provoke an antibody response. Vaccines train the immune system to recognize the disease-causing part of a virus so that when people are infected, their bodies are prepared to fight the virus with a combination of antibody and T-cell responses. Historically, most vaccines contained either weakened viruses or the signature proteins of the virus (Types 1, 2 and 3), but the first approved vaccines for COVID were genetic (Types 4 and 5). See Section 5 for more information. Method of provoking antibody response Drug companies Existing licensed Type to SARS-CoV-2 (bold = approved) vaccines 1 A live but weakened coronavirus that will infect cells and cause Measles, yellow fever, Codagenix Attenuated them to make viral proteins mumps, smallpox, polio 2 A "killed" coronavirus that will get recognized as foreign matter Sinovac1, SinoPharm2, Polio (dev countries) Attenuated by the immune system Covaxin3 Recombinant coronavirus proteins, produced industrially in 3 GlaxoSmithKline/Sanofi, Tetanus, pertussis, flu, outside cell cultures, which are recognized as foreign matter by Recombinant Novavax4 shingles the immune system 5 4 A different virus (human or ape adenovirus, measles, etc) that is CanSino , Genetic engineered to include genetic components coding for the SARS- Oxford/AstraZeneca6, Ebola (vector vaccines) CoV-2 spike proteins, which causes the body to produce them J&J7, Gamaleya8 5 DNA or RNA that will be taken up by cells and will cause them to Moderna, Inovio, Genetic make coronavirus proteins BioNTech/Pfizer 1: Sinovac has been approved for use in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Philippines, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Turkey and several other countries 2: Sinopharm has been approved in China, UAE, Bahrain, Egypt, Hungary and Jordan and several other countries 3: Covaxin has been approved for emergency use in India, Iran, Philippines, Paraguay, Guatemala and several other countries 4: Protein vaccines are not new, but the Novavax vaccine is combined with a proprietary adjuvant which has not been approved for use before 5: CanSino has been approved for use in China, Mexico and Pakistan 6: Oxford/AstraZeneca's vaccine has been approved for use in the UK, Europe, South Africa, Brazil, Chile, and several other countries 7: J&J's vaccine has been approved for use in the US and Bahrain 8: Gamaleya's vaccine has been approved in Russia, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Hungary, Iran, UAE, and several other countries Source: J.P.

MORGAN Coronavirus US vaccination overview Note: the CDC estimated in August that more than 1 mm people in the US had received a third shot without being registered as taking a booster shot. The result is a small overstatement of first time and full vaccination shares of the total population, and likely a small understatement of reported booster shots (shown in the third chart).

MORGAN Coronavirus “A pandemic of the unvaccinated” Note: Given higher vaccination rates among older age groups as well as higher probabilities of hospitalization once infected with COVID, it is important to pay attention to age-stratified infection and hospitalization rates when comparing vaccination status, as Seattle/King County has reported in the charts below. The following page goes into more detail on the importance of age-adjusting COVID data. Seattle: age adjusted infections Seattle: age adjusted hospitalizations Daily infections, # per mm, smoothing = 7 days Current hospitalizations, # per mm, smoothing = 7 days 120 1,000 Not fully vaccinated Not fully vaccinated 900 Overall Overall 100 800 Fully vaccinated Fully vaccinated 700 80 600 500 60 400 40 300 200 20 100 0 0 Jan '21 Mar '21 May '21 Jul '21 Sep '21 Jan '21 Mar '21 May '21 Jul '21 Sep '21 Source: Washington Department of Health.

The below table shows the multiple of hospitalization and death risk for unvaccinated people compared to vaccinated people. The rates are population-adjusted and reflect state estimates of breakthrough hospitalizations and deaths since vaccination began in January 2021. The table reports data on states who provided at least two months of records to the New York Times.
