Which vaccine will be most effective?

Against Delta and new variants?

I don’t know if I get to choose - but I’d like to try.

Does anyone know?

I'm not sure. I had Pfizer and am happy with that.

I believe Pfizer or Moderna.

Pfizer only 39% effective.

My husband and I both had Astra Zeneca. Both teenagers are positive currently and so far we have avoided it. I’m assuming they have the delta variant due to symptoms and how quickly it spread, our isolation ends tomorrow!

Oh, you've changed your mind about getting vaccinated? What convinced you?

I'm not sure what vaccine is said to protect best. Would be interesting to know.

Pfizer only 39% effective.
That figure is qualified in the article.

Pfizer and BioNTech's Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective in Israel where the delta variant is the dominant strain, according to a new report from the country's Health Ministry.
The two-dose vaccine still works very well in preventing people from getting seriously sick, demonstrating 88% effectiveness against hospitalization and 91% effectiveness against severe illness, according to the Israeli data.

The efficacy figure, which is based on an unspecified number of people between June 20 and July 17, is down from an earlier estimate of 64% two weeks ago and conflicts with data out of the U.K. that found the shot was 88% effective against symptomatic disease caused by the variant.

It's to do with the spacing of doses and Delta.
There is mounting evidence that the gap is important. In Israel where they used Pfizer with a three week gap there is waning immunity after 6 months. The UK were ridiculed for the 12 week gap policy and it's now becoming apparent that a longer gap is better for pfizer as well as AZ. * weeks seems to be the optimum for pfizer but 12 or more for AZ as it slowly increases immunity after the first dose.

They're all good and the best vaccine is the one you get in your arm quickest.

In the UK, Pfizer is 88% effective in symptomatic infection. We aren't the same as Israel, our dosing regime is very different (8-11 week gap between doses compared to 3 weeks in Israel).

I’ve had AZ and got Covid, but the main purpose of the vaccine is to prevent hospitalisation and death. So my vaccine is working
