Even though it’s not the one you wanted, all vaccines are safe and efficient, all vaccines will protect you from becoming severely ill, just like all vaccines prevent severe COVID-19 symptoms and hospitalizations.
While AstraZeneca still needs approval for the United States, there are three vaccines available right now (Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson). All three are efficient and safe, so you need to make sure you’re getting whatever vaccine is available for you.
According to Bruce Polsky, MD, chairman of the department of medicine at NYU Long Island School of Medicine and NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island, getting vaccinated as soon as possible should be our top priority right now. What vaccine you get is not as important, since all of them do the same thing: prevent severe COVID-19 cases.
