>>13578542My understanding of it (not a doctor) is that the Novavax vaccine has spike proteins in the shot and delivers it to your body using some sort of nanoparticles.
The mrna vaccines insert mrna into the body and let cells make the spike proteins instead.
>>13578638The viral vector (Janssen astrazeneca) vaccine uses an adenovirus to create the spike proteins. I know there's a minor difference in AZ but it's marginal I think (i don't 100% remember).
Tbh the ideal one would be the live vaccine (Sinopharm, Sinovac, Valneva) just because it's really established and wouldn't expect anything unexpected. If you're English you might see Valneva in a few months so maybe consider it. I'm American so my best bet might be Novavax when it comes out Q4 2021/ Q1 2022 though my time might be limited.
