Monday morning, Pfizer announced initial success with a COVID-19 vaccination trial via their Twitter account:



With this morning’s announcement from Pfizer, theme park stock prices, among others, surged. According to a report on Variety, “Disney opened up [at] more than 14%.” Investors are now hoping for a bigger reopening of the company’s theme parks when the time is right.

The trial vaccine “was found to be more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 in participants without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection…”

It’s important to remember that tests are currently ongoing and it’s not likely that the vaccine will be rolled out to the majority until next year.
