- Decreased efficiency
- Even less efficiency with mutant viruses that of course will spread as widely as the first one did, it's just a matter of time.
- Reportedly more frequent side effects.
This is all of course tentative and based on the latest media reports, the public opinion might change in the future as there is more data - but that's what we've got now. Also the German government reserves Pfizer to the most vulnerable groups which creates an impression that AZ vaccine is somewhat flawed in comparison to Pfizer.
- yukinon 6y agoIsn't it less risk to take a partially effective vaccine though rather than to go without one? What's the risk calculation that would compel someone to not take any vaccine?
- kyriakos 6y agoGiven choice though people will go for what they consider more efficient. So they'd rather wait it out until more vaccines from other pharma are available. This is because if they take the AZ option and turns out to be insufficient there's no guarantee they'll get another chance to get vaccinated.
