Vaccine efficacy is typically measured in clinical trials. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the vaccine or a placebo. The incidence of the disease is then monitored over time. The efficacy is calculated using the following formula:
Efficacy (%) = [(Incidence in unvaccinated group - Incidence in vaccinated group) / Incidence in unvaccinated group] × 100
