What type of vaccine do you want?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, including the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, are a newer type of vaccine that doesn't include the weakened virus, but teaches human cells to make a protein that triggers the immune response (read more about that here).

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is more traditional (see stories about all three vaccines here and here.) Doctors say that the important metric is that all three are effective in preventing serious illness and death from covid, and that having the majority of the public vaccinated, no matter which vaccine, will lessen the spread.

As of this week, more than 525,000 Americans have died of the virus. (You can see which states had the highest death toll in the past week on this CDC map.)
