Not fully clear: The first available vaccine is from Pfizer and has a 95% success rate in studies. This rolls out today, according to news media. We do not really know which of the three vaccines now available will be most efficacious and have the lowest adverse reactions. You may be correct with your choice, and you could discuss with your local infectious disease experts. But we welcome any of them.

Personal decision: I'm going to take whichever one I can get my hands on first. I am not wary AT ALL about the new technology vaccines using RNA . These use technology that makes sure effects even less likely than currently used techniques, and will likely be shown in time to have better immune responses. So if had/have a choice, I'd actually go with one of the RNA vaccines. It's personal, just get one of them!
