Semi-protected edit request on 30 August 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

According to WP:LEAD, the intro paragraph should summarize the article's most important contents. We would get closer to this goal by expanding the first sentence to read:

COVID-19 vaccine clinical research is the clinical research on COVID-19 vaccines, including their effectiveness and safety.

Then, the same edit should be made to COVID-19 vaccine#Clinical research.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:42, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks reasonable to me. I would perhaps suggest broadening it a bit by changing the last part like this: including their safety, efficacy and effectiveness. --Fernando Trebien (talk) 01:08, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Better now, thanks! —24.191.101.223 (talk) 11:56, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Splits

I split two tables of templates (efficacy and effectiveness), so it might be reduced size much. Abrilando232 (talk) 00:28, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

removed unrelated content.

I have removed the following paragraphs from the "effectiveness" section due to them being unrelated.

I'm making note of that here in case this information is not already included in any relative articles as i don't have time to go chasing that down right now.

> In addition, unvaccinated COVID-19 patients have strained the capacity of hospitals throughout the country, forcing many to turn away patients with life-threatening diseases.[545][548][549] Some overloaded hospitals have had to put beds in their parking garage,[550] while others lacked both the space and capacity to properly treat new COVID-19 patients.[551][552] In some cases, even after being admitted, their stay was cut short due to a surplus of patients and a shortage of rooms.[553] The situation has led hospitals in states such as Tennessee, Idaho and Oregon to request help from the National Guard.[554][555][556]

> Approximately 900,000 people a day in the U.S. were getting vaccinated during August 2021, with the daily pace of vaccinations accelerating.[559] A large percentage of those are children over the age of twelve, as 68% of parents state that they already have their kids vaccinated or soon will have. For the 45 million children under 12, since they are not yet eligible for the vaccine, surveys indicate that once a vaccine is approved for them there may be a significant surge in the vaccination rate.[560]
