Yes I would. I know by the time it is available to me, millions will likely be in line ahead of me.

I never took a flu shot until I got horribly ill with the flu. I no longer question getting the vaccine every year.

@ExtremeNext I got the flu when I was in my 8th month of pregnancy with my daughter. This was many years ago. I got pneumonia and felt like I was suffocating. I could have died. That was the end of me ever thinking I was bigger than a virus.

@Peapod that is scary what you just said about pneumonia do people realise what Covid even is, it's double pneumonia and you do suffercate or drown in your own lungs
A vaccine can't come quick enough

@ExtremeNext Dying from COVID is probably the worst way to die. I cannot imagine a slow drown without my loved ones not being able to hold my hand. And I don't understand the lack of compassion because a lot of these people are older. So what! They matter to someone. My MIL lived to be 98. Had she gotten COVID and died in her 70s, we all would have been robbed of 20 plus years with her.

Another consideration is that here are millions of people that don't die from COVID, but they have lifelong organ damage. They are often in the hospital for weeks and prone to other problems.

I was struck down by shingles in late 2019. I now have permanent, painful nerve damage from this virus within. I got the vaccine last spring so maybe I won't get another severe outbreak. Too many people don't understand how devastating some of these viruses are.

I can't get it fast enough either.
