I totally agree. I was hoping to get either Moderna or Pfizer but couldnt afford to wait.

I'm not convinced there is enough difference in efficacy to merit attention....
at least not mine !

Now the new 'formulas'.... some shy away from them.....

If you want to get people vaccinated then have well advertised locations with regular hours and efficiently organized. Right now it's Whack a Mole as to where and when they might be giving jabs

I don't think there's an issue with the public knowing where to go to get vaccinated and this includes the barrios.. Papa who is 91 received his vaccinations.. Gaby got her first vaccination this month.. May and gets her second on the 9th of June before she leaves.. Yeah, Yeah.. I'm not into the vaccine, but I'm damn sure not going to make my wife follow what I believe to be true.. She's her own person and perfectly capable of making her own decisions about HER body..

BTW, Vaccinations for both Papa and Gaby were free.. No issues from side effects that people have been talking about either.

A good analysis of the vaccination strategy -
Using the UK as an example
==============================================

Britain has had one of the world’s most successful Covid-19 responses in recent months.​
Unlike the European Union, the British government understood that quickly obtaining vaccine doses mattered more than negotiating the lowest price. Unlike the United States, Britain was willing to impose nationwide restrictions again late last year to reduce caseloads. British officials also chose to maximize first vaccine shots and delay second shots, recognizing that the strategy could more quickly reduce Covid cases.​
Thanks to these moves, Covid has retreated more quickly in Britain than in almost any other country. Fewer than 10 Britons per day have been dying in recent weeks, down from 1,200 a day in late January. On a per-capita basis, Britain’s death rate last month was less than one-tenth the U.S. rate.​


Three U.K. lessons​

​
I see three main lessons from Britain’s recent rise in cases:​
One, vaccines are still the most effective way, by far, to defeat this terrible pandemic. Nothing matters more than the speed at which shots go into arms — in Britain, in the U.S. and especially in poorer countries, where vaccination rates are still low.​
Two, behavior restrictions can still play a role in the interim. If hospitalizations or deaths in Britain rise over the next two weeks, there will be a strong argument for pushing back the full reopening of activities. And that has obvious implications for the U.S., too. Restricting indoor activities for unvaccinated people is particularly important.​
Three, caseloads are no longer as important a measure as they used to be. Before the vaccines were available, more cases inevitably meant more hospitalizations and deaths. Now, the connection is more uncertain. As a recent Times story put it, paraphrasing British scientists, “upticks in new infections are tolerable so long as the vast majority do not lead to serious illness or death.”​
