Drug company Moderna on Monday said its COVID-19 vaccine is 94.5% effective, according to early results from its ongoing trial. Moderna is the second company to report positive data on a coronavirus vaccine after Pfizer last week revealed that its vaccine candidate is 90% effective. 

Moderna said it intends to submit for an Emergency Use Authorization with US Food and Drug Administration in the coming weeks.
