JUMP TO VIDEO TOPIC:

1:04 What’s the difference between the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines?
4:54 I hear that these vaccines do not use preservatives, live virus or eggs. Is that good or bad?
7:54 What are the side-effect profiles of these vaccines? Have we seen any reactions at our locations?
11:59 What reactions would cause me to need to miss the second dose of the vaccine?
13:41 Other vaccines in development like the ones from AstraZeneca and J&J, do not use messengerRNA. Are these vaccines better? Should I wait for them?
17:43 I heard that there's a new virus mutation. What does that mean? Would that affect vaccine efficacy?
24:26 As vaccine administration continues, what precautions are still reasonable to take (masks, social distancing, etc.)?
