Okay, but you should probably be more careful how you describe the information. For instance, you could state that you want the Moderna vaccine because of what they've said about effectiveness against emerging strains.
It's likely that the antibodies produced in response to the Pfizer vaccine have similar cross reactivity as the Moderna vaccine (because they cause production of the same spike protein, which is what the immune system reacts to).
And of course, Pfizer is also studying the situation:
