Moved above discussion from Corona Virus Where did this come from thread as it was going off topic. Moved it to the vaccines thread.
I get the feeling that each country is trying to figure out what vaccine works best subject to availability, cost, logistics, and how effective it is for the particular strain of the virus in the particular country and how their epidemiologists are dealing with it specifically. In the end however I just get this feeling that if one wants to travel, that vaccination may feature as a condition of travel, and it may get very frustrating as each country may have different requirements. Hopefully as we move along, we can find a standard vaccine that fits all countries. Otherwise looks like one has to get more than one vaccination to please every one? The requirements are getting like a Tower of Babylon of vaccines and different requirements from different countries?
Wonder whether one would be able to get more than one vaccination - a different one - in any one country. Could there be the potential for vaccines to conflict if one person should use more than one vaccine to comply with the requirements of different countries when they travel?
I personally am interested in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Not sure if and when us mere mortals and statistics in this country will be able to get it, and how much it will cost, but I like the idea of a single shot vaccine that also seems to have been developed to be used for more than one strain of the virus, including the South African one. Maybe it's good that I'll have to wait a while, as one can get a picture of how effective it's going to be, since it's a relatively new vaccine.
