FDA standard for safe

The headline says that FDA sets approval at 50% effectiveness. Is that a normal percentage for a vaccine? Does that mean all that is needed for a vaccine is it helps 50% of the people that take it?

Not the same but thank goodness the birth control pill doesnt follow those guidelines.
