12-28-20  2 million vaccine shots administered in US.  1 million shots in China.  AstraZeneca Plc’s two-dose shot is the early leader, with pre-purchase agreements that would cover 1.46 billion people--more than twice as many as any other candidate.  In total, Bloomberg has identified more than 90 agreements.  https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/

12-4-20   The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines both use mRNA as their platform for delivering the genetic instructions.  AstraZeneca-Oxford’s uses DNA instead, and the DNA is delivered to cells with the help of another virus known as an adenovirus. (Other Covid-19 vaccine developers, like CanSino Biologics and Johnson & Johnson, are also using adenovirus vectors.)  AstraZeneca, unlike Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, has promised to sell its shot at cost--around $3 to $4.  https://www.vox.com/21590994/oxford-vaccine-results-covid-19-astrazeneca-trial-pfizer-moderna
