Doses of the new, one-shot Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are arriving in Arizona, leaving many Arizonans asking if they should get it or one of the two-shot Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
The answer, health officials say, is get whichever is available to you when you become eligible, because they all protect against severe outcomes.
Some people are sure to still have preferences based on convenience, health or even religious reasons, because the three available vaccines are slightly different.
But the good news is researchers say all three are effective vaccines that prevent hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19. Our general message at this point is to take the vaccine that s offered to you as they are all highly effective at preventing serious illness and death, Holly Poynter, an Arizona Department of Health Services spokesperson, wrote in an email. They ve all undergone rigorous trials and been reviewed and approved for emergency use by the federal government.

Corrections & Clarifications: This article has been updated since it was first published. Phoenix Mutual Aid does not offer vaccine appointment help, a spokesperson says.
Though Arizona is now more than two months into its coronavirus vaccine rollout, many in the groups currently being prioritized are finding it difficult to access the potentially life-saving shot.
Maricopa County is currently in Phase 1B of its rollout program. Individuals currently being prioritized for vaccination include health care and EMS workers, long-term care facility residents and staff, educators, child care workers, law enforcement and adults age 65 and older.
For many in those groups, the issue doesn t lie in a lack of available doses but rather the barriers they face in accessing them. They might not have access to a computer to use the online registration portals, for example, or might not be able to drive to a location offering the vaccine.
