Will there be a list of Pros and cons of each of the vaccines?

With the Pfizer vaccine ready to be given out from next week, followed soon after no doubt by the Moderna & Oxford vaccines, with others to follow it would be helpful to know what the benefits and risks are of each one for those with underlying health issues.

Hi MarkI don't think we will be given the option to choose which vaccine we have. It will be a Herculean task to get everyone vaccinated so it's very unlikely that the authorities will allow the additional complexity of choice unless there is strong evidence of harm being caused in particular circumstances, which I don't think there is at present.

From a personal perspective I will be happy to get whatever protection I can,

Hi Mark - you would find it helpful to keep checking in on the Blood Cancer Uk website - there is much work going on as to the various vaccines and possible effects or benefits to blood cancer patients buts it very early days in this regard for any of them but Blood Cancer UK are very involved in this and will keep us updated - here is the link for what it known currently
