So do i get the Johnson and Johnson as soon as possible, or wait to get the Moderna or Pfizer, assuming J&J will be quicker and easier to get?
Why are you assuming you would have access to the J&J quicker than the Moderna or Pfizer ones?
I definitely think I would want M/P over J&J all things being equal but if the scenario exists where its J&J now or M/P 3 months from now, that's an interesting hypothetical and risk analysis question. Probably also depends on if you are a person who is more likely to get super sick/die from COVID over baseline (which I do not believe to be the case for you personally but I am not your physician).
I guess there's also a Julian's America grotesquerie to consider of if the J&J vaccine works in a different way than the similarly-functioning M/P ones, do people with means and access get both and if so, when is the acceptable time in our national rollout to do so?
The Johnson and Johnson has less storage issues than the Pfizer, and only takes one shot whereas the other two require two shots. So if they made equal amounts, twice as many people would get the Johnson and Johnson.
Yes, I am imagining a totally hypothetical situation where J&J would be more quickly available. But I wonder if there will be any guidelines in regard to to should get what based on how quickly one is available combined with possible differences in efficacy.
It seems like lower risk people should get J&J and higher risk should get one of the other two. But how many people to put in the low risk bucket compared to the high risk bucket is interesting.
I see my overweight, middle aged self and my wife's overweight, middle aged self as being low to moderate, and my possibly slightly overweight teenager as being low risk.
