A genuine question:

Which vaccine would you go for, if given the choice?

Have you been reading up about the new vaccines? what have been tested and hasn't? side effects? what was studied and what is stil being studied?

I've been following the development of covid vaccines since it began early last year, in particular the two that my country will be using, the Oxford and Pfizer vaccines. Given the choice I'd go with Pfizer but I'm more likely to get the Oxford shot as Australia has ordered more of Oxford's shot due to cost and ease of distribution.

I'll still be more than happy to get either, in fact I am really looking forward to getting my shot. So far, reports of side effects seem well within the acceptable range and almost all minor. Given the risk of death and long lasting damage from covid itself, I'd much rather take the vaccine.
