I reckon there will be a push to wait for the Novavax vaccine in preference to the other two, its been trialled in the UK and South Africa and found to perform well vs the new strains which is what we are seeing in Australia now.
I watched a bit of Q and A and while the experts didnt agree on much the pro Pfizer/Moderna/ AstraZeneca group did agree that Novavax was promising and it might have to be a three way vaccine system in Australia and that if you initially got the Pfizer version for example the next step might be getting the Novavax next year.
I dont want to be given a vaccine that is 90% effective vs the standard CoVid strain but only 50-60% effective vs the others and then expected to have a cocktail of vaccines later for better coverage. Rather just have the one that gives me more total cover and less side effects.
