Weird question, could you take 2 Covid vaccines?

7. Note-

NONE of the vaccines are “approved”

One of the three says they have applied for “Emergency Use Authorization”(EUA), and the other two are expected to apply soon.

EUA does NOT carry the FDA’s approval saying it works and is safe. All the EuA does is say the FDA will wave qualification rules and let it be given- even though it doesn’t yet have enough data to be formally approved as both safe and effective.

That said- if you get TWO different vaccines soon, before everyone else does, you deprive someone else of their opportunity. I’ve been reading that supposedly there will be some 20 million doses produced in the first quarter of next year, IF it received EuA. That means 10 million people out of 330,000 Americans will be able to obtain their single (2 dose shot) vaccine, IF the distribution works perfectly, and IF those waiting as Health Care workers get their doses first. 320,000,000 won’t be getting anything for at least six months to a year from now. And I really can’t see industry being able to produce enough for all 330,000,000 Americans, AND the rest of the world, for several years yet.

Why would you even think about getting double?

(And we have to see exactly what mechanism is for each vaccine, AND whether anyone is going to do any studies on the benefits and risks of multiple vaccinations. Good grief! )
