Are these countries going to get access to the pfizer, moderna and J&J vaccines or are they using the AZ vaccine exclusively?

They have access to all 4. Unfortunately for them, procurement and delivery on the others have lagged way behind. I believe they ordered more of the AZ vaccine than any other.

Ah I see, makes sense. I haven’t been following it that closely and was wondering why AZ seemed to be the main one mentioned for them. Wonder if it’s an actual safety issue with the vaccine, a bad batch or just coincidence/reaction...

The UK has used a ton of the AZ vaccine without many issues, so I’m thinking they’re overreacting, and blood clots are going to happen in a large enough population, anyways. I’m not sure a few blood clots are worth the excess COVID deaths this delay will cause.

In other news, COVID hospitalizations in NC continue to fall and fell below 1,000 yesterday!
 
What are preferences regarding the 3 different vaccines available in the US? I am on the fence 50/50 about getting one once it is available to the public but leaning towards getting one. The J&J vaccine sounds attractive since I believe it only requires one dose and seems to use a slightly different way to help your body build immunity whereas the other 2 vaccines require a 2nd dose and the mRNA method.
 
Any of you guys that’s had this crap, still deal with any lingering issues or you completely recover? I had a really good week last week, may have overdone it doing some spring cleaning. Last couple days the chest weight/ slight pressure has returned and overall feel like ?. Smell and taste still not quite there yet, taste is further along then smell. I don’t think it’s my seasonal allergies quite yet, I take allergy pill and use Flonase spray. Saturday was a month since symptoms started. O2 is still fine so I’m not to concerned that’s it’s anything new it’s just lingering side effects/symptoms. I’ve heard of some taking several months to kick this and unfortunately some that haven’t. I definitely don’t want these symptoms permanently. Still walking 1- 1 1/2 hrs a day

I was recovered most of the way by the 2 week point other than sense of smell and funny taste and was back to full daily walking by the 4 week point with just about 100% recovery other than my sense of smell. I'm still not sure I have my full sense of smell back yet.

Moderne, 2 shots, minimum side effects.
 
Got the Moderna first round today. Arm is sore as all get out but no extra eyes or anything! I wouldn't have gotten it so soon but I want to travel this summer and some states are already imposing travel bans if you don't have it or meet other requirements. I was lucky they came to my school, though teaching 20 3rd grader's with a sore arm is not fun!
 


“RESULTS
Between June 24 and November 9, 2020, we enrolled 2026 HIV-negative adults (median age, 30 years); 1010 and 1011 participants received at least one dose of placebo or vaccine, respectively. Both the pseudovirus and the live-virus neutralization assays showed greater resistance to the B.1.351 variant in serum samples obtained from vaccine recipients than in samples from placebo recipients. In the primary end-point analysis, mild-to-moderate Covid-19 developed in 23 of 717 placebo recipients (3.2%) and in 19 of 750 vaccine recipients (2.5%), for an efficacy of 21.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], −49.9 to 59.8). Among the 42 participants with Covid-19, 39 cases (92.9%) were caused by the B.1.351 variant; vaccine efficacy against this variant, analyzed as a secondary end point, was 10.4% (95% CI, −76.8 to 54.8). The incidence of serious adverse events was balanced between the vaccine and placebo groups.

CONCLUSIONS
A two-dose regimen of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine did not show protection against mild-to-moderate Covid-19 due to the B.1.351 variant.”


We’re beyond screwed with these new variants if other vaccines have similar efficacy. 10% against the SA variant? That’s absurdly bad.

COVID-19 Vaccination: Experimental Gene Therapy Under the Guise of Immunity? – Survive the News

This is why I am hesitant to get this vaccine. It’s not a vaccine at all it’s a experimental gene therapy. Don’t comment unless you read my link.

I haven’t a clue what there talking about, but this is the 2nd article I’ve read about it not being a true vaccine. Got to wonder if these people are on to something or are they upset that they wasn’t involved and not getting a piece of the pie? ??‍♂️ Makes me wonder if that regeneron I got will cause me any issues down the road.

Well I’m not saying it’s true but I’m seriously considering the possibility. And I’m honestly scared to death of this vaccine
