I worked in various roles within our vaccines business unit for ~12yrs up until early last year. My company is deeply involved in the development of a COVID vaccine. I am very familiar with the regulatory process and the safety profile that needs to be demonstrated for a candidate vaccine to be approved. I also appreciate that like any substance put into a large population of humans, some will have adverse reactions and there will be variability in efficacy. These particular vaccines have such a high degree of oversight due to the immediate public health need, the speed at which they were developed/trialed, and the politics & media attention. My family and I will be getting immunized without hesitation, but I will likely seek out one that will my company is working on just because I’m more familiar and comfortable with our standards.
