I was curious how the vaccines compare from more of a cost/effectiveness angle. As of now we've really only had the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines in control of vaccine distribution. We've only just now gotten the new numbers from Johnson & Johnson that aren't as promising as we'd hoped, but seems to be a good vaccine either way. The new numbers that came in from J&J got me thinking what the prices were for each vaccine and how it compares to it's efficiency, so I did a little digging and found the numbers below. They all seem to be priced understandably to their benefits.
The Moderna is priced just a bit above the Pfizer vaccine, even though they both share the same 95% efficacy. I assume it's priced a bit more due to it doesn't require the sub-zero storage that Pfizer does. What's more interesting to me is the J&J vaccine is half the price of the other two, along with a lowered efficacy rate. I understand why, it just stands out to me.
Pfizer
Efficacy 95%
Price Per Dose $19.50 (for first 100 million doses. That's a whole different story that hopefully gets worked out soon)
Moderna
Efficacy 95%
Price Per Dose $24 - $37
* New Johnson & Johnson Numbers
Efficacy 72% (in U.S.), 66% administered overall, and 85% severe disease prevention.
Price Per Dose $10
