Having (usually) mild asthma symptoms I am ready to jump on the first vaccine offered and it looks like this is it. I also work in education and do in person labs.
As mentioned, it's efficacy is reported to increase to 80% if the second dose is pushed back to 16 weeks.

I'm on a waitlist for a AstraZeneca vaccine. They're targeting ages 60-64. I'm 61. In Ontario they only have roughly 192,000 dosages of AstraZeneca for Ontario until April 1st. If I don't get an appointment I guess I'll have to wait.
