When we talk about these vaccines, we always hear about how you will still need to wear a mask, social distance and that it may still take time to return to "normal."

But while all of that is true, is it possible we're underselling just how effective these vaccines really are?

Medical experts want people to know, the Covid Vaccines are probably much better than you think.

All five vaccines have eliminated covid deaths in all of their trials and have drastically reduced hospitalizations. The whole point of the vaccine is to not necessarily stop infections but to stop hospitalizations and death.

And people who are concerned that we got the vaccinations too soon or that it was rushed, experts explain new technololgy makes a difference. We know more about RNA and coronavirus than we did just a few years ago. Also, lots of publicity about the virus provided much needed funding and volunteers.

"The process isn't any different it's just that there is so much focus on this, that it is a lot easier to find lots of people to be in the study and lots of people to do the study and lots of funding to make the study go. Those are the things that hold back drug development and make it take years and years and years to get regular vaccines," said Dr. Ben Neuman, virologist at Texas A & M University.

And you have have heard one vaccine to be less effective than the other. One's 95%. Another 66%. Turns out for a vaccine, doctors say that excellent since the effective rate for the common flu vaccine is around 50% each year.

Medical experts say, don't listen to the naysayers.

"But they are so loud it makes people hesitant so we call them vaccine hesitant where they are a little unsure. They hear all these people complaining about vaccines so they want to take a step back and wait and see when the coast is clear," said Dr. Frank Esper, infectious disease specialsist at the Cleveland Clinic.

The hesitant ones eventually do take the vaccine and that's what's needed to get us all to herd immunity.
