We don't get that choice. Our mRNA supply is entirely going to health care workers and the most at risk. And overseas manufacturing capacity is entirely spoken for for longer than anyone wants to wait. So everyone else is getting AstraZeneca, and maybe a switch down the line to something else we can manufacture locally. Choice for the country is AZ, or nothing and starting again in 6+ months. So watching the potential health concerns and trying to weed out the political posturing. The non-justified criticism is going to have a real effect on vaccination numbers and efficacy, and those numbers are already going to suffer due to the justified criticisms.
