• So the Oxford vaccine has an efficacy of 62% when administered the way they planned it. It was only by mistakenly giving a group of participants a first half dose that efficacy rose to 90%. Doesn't sound great.

    Can we choose which of the vaccines to get?

  • Doesn't sound great.

    Serious question: why not? Lots of vaccines have a protocol that calls for multiple doses and/or booster shots.

    (Edit: if we're talking about the one-shot efficacy not sounding great, then there's a logistics trade-off; the Oxford vaccine doesn't require extreme cold storage, so swings and roundabouts...)

  • Doesn't sound great.

    Sounds pretty fucking normal. Gore-Tex was invented due to a combination of frustration and serendipity. If it works, it works. How it's got there is a side issue.

    Can we choose which of the vaccines to get?

    No. But you can check your entitlement.

  • Can we choose which of the vaccines to get?

    I assume not. At first.

    A year down the line they might be available privately like the flu vaccine is. At that point you could pay and have them all!
