I chose the second option, which is more realistic for me since I'm not a Front Line worker.
The logistics of the Pfizer vaccine make it seem nearly impossible to implement on a larger scale so it would seem as if the Moderna vaccine will ultimately be deployed to more people, especially those in remote areas. [Reply]

You better try to get first in line.

I'm not a fan of big pharma, but I am a fan of not dying. I won't say how I know, but one of them is exactly what they say it is, 95% effective. At my age and health condition, I'd be fool not to take it. [Reply]

Probably not broadly, no. You might have some frontline healthcare workers getting it by then, but my guess is we're still a few months away from broad availability. [Reply]

Not because i'm afraid of vaccines, but because i've simply never needed or wanted a flu shot and don't need/want one now.
For the record, the flu shot is only about 40-60% effective, compared to 90%+ for the new COVID vaccines. There's also promising evidence to suggest that COVID immunity would last for years (or even decades) rather than a year for the flu shot. [Reply]
