Millions of Americans are waiting patiently to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations.  Here are the three choices:

1.  Johnson & Johnson

2.  Pfizer

3.  Moderna

According to the Detroit Free Press, those eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine should take whichever of the three options is available to them.

The Detroit Free Press also said the first shipments of the single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine arrived in Michigan this week, bumping up the state's supply of vaccine doses by more than 80,000.
