JOHN WHYTE: Does it matter which
vaccine I get?
Any vaccine approved
or authorized in the United
States
has gone
through rigorous clinical trials
and has been thoroughly tested.
So any vaccine offered to you
should do a good job
of preventing COVID.
The two vaccines currently
authorized, Pfizer and Moderna,
have both demonstrated nearly
95% effectiveness.
Whatever vaccine you're given,
you want to follow your doctor's
orders.
Both require two shots,
but the timing is slightly
different.
And it's important you get
both doses.
