Be interesting to see how this plays out. My gut feeling is that people my age will opt to skip the AZ and wait for the big two. I think there will be lots left for whoever wants it in this age group. Hope I'm wrong and it gets filled quickly, as the more vaccinated the better. If it gets to your year, and there is stock available, will you take the AZ shot?
I'm born in 61 so like I say I doubt its even an option by the time they get to that year. But certainly I would advise to get vaccinated sooner rather than later. If you are 1957, 58, go for it.
A question I would have and I can't see the answer anywhere is are they mixing and matching 1st dose and 2nd dose? I've heard that some jurisdictions have not even kept track of which version people are getting. Is that not potentially problematic? I say this because Canada is getting less of the AZ and more of the other vaccines so it raises questions.
I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to the relative efficacy differential. All of these vaccines purport to help with immunity, lessen severe cases and risk etc.

I'm also 60ish but my thought is that hospitals may need people to be vaccinated before having major, but not emergency, surgery. I'll ask someone on my liver transplant team if it may become necessary.
