Pfizer (PFE)/BioNTech (BNTX) and Moderna (MRNA) vaccines this time, since they're already under EUA here in the US and people are being vaccinated as we speak. That rollout is worth a longer discussion, but it's as much politics as it is medicine. Vice President Pence's statement earlier this month of having 20 million people vaccinated by the end of the year is totally out of reach, though, and I believe that he has now altered that to having 20 million doses shipped (and I'm not even sure about that). The CDC says that vaccinated numbers should start rising steeply, and I certainly hope that's the case.
