Looks like the Oxford-Astra Zeneca vaccine has finished successful trial in the US. 79% effective at preventing symptoms and 100% effective at preventing serious disease. Presentation to US FDA and publication expected in the next few weeks. This is the easy to store (refrigerator) inexpensive, two shot vaccine.

Unless things change in the next couple of months, I bet this never gets used in the US. If J&J ramps up production as predicted, it’s clearly the superior alternative.

Some have said the AZ vaccine is more trustworthy because it is more like traditional vaccines and doesn't use mRNA like Pfizer and Moderna. I'm pretty sure J&J uses mRNA too.

That's a negative. No mRNA in the JandJ vaccine

US government pre-ordered 300 million doses of the A-Z vaccine. So I expect it will get to some in the US.
 
Got my first Pfizer on Friday. Had to drive an hour to rural NC for an appointment though but at least I was headed that direction anyway for the weekend. At least second dose will be local.
 
No real side effects from dose 1 other than a bit of arm soreness the next morning like a flu shot. No biggie. But I’m expecting a more substantial set of effects from the next one.
