I’m seeing a lot of similar concerns in the comments so I just want to post this video from Vox. They did a great job explaining this issue.
Effectiveness doesn’t really mean much between approved vaccines in the US. Please watch this video:

From what we know so far, any of the approved vaccines are excellent and no one knows for sure if one is better than the other. The only logical thing to do is get what is offered to you as soon as possible.
That being said, this is excellent news that Pfizer is protective against the SA Variant. Not trying to minimize that news, just point out that it still is better to just get whatever approved vaccine you can.
