There are other options for vaccines and if it turns out this one has a side effect that exceeds the risk of other vaccines, then that needs to be considered in balancing risk vs benefit for each recipient.

Our daughter and husband received Astra-Zenaca yesterday in London.

It has not yet been approved by the U.S. health agencies.
