3. Take whichever vaccine you can as they become available in 2021. My reason: Priority to get some virus neutralizing antibodies into your system. Even if it's not the best vaccine, it's likely you can get boosted with better vaccines later in the year or in 2022.

Only exception might be live virus vaccine from Merck & Co. If you already had a previous vaccine giving you VNA it may prevent live virus in the Merck vaccine from replicating? I have no evidence for this, just guessing. But for now, take whatever vaccine you can get in 2021
