Valneva vaccine?

Do you think we will be able to choose which vaccine we get? I understand that the valneva one is in early stages, but I feel much more comfortable having one based on a whole inactivated virus than mRNA etc.

For example, some flu/polio/rabies/her A vaccines are based on this method. Also I am 23 with no health issues so will be waiting a long time anyway.

I would pay for it if needed and I will wait to travel.

Also, I am not fully opposed to the oxford vaccine, but will be waiting to see the full data.

Also maybe more focus/funding should be placed on PCRs to make them more affordable/sensitive/specific/timely?

I understand it can be different perhaps for a care worker who is constantly in contact with vulnerable patients (should still be allowed a choice in my opinion)

But for one-off situations like travelling, going for a dental appointment or surgery, PCRs, if reliable should be sufficient no?
