Will you be getting covid 19 vaccine?

I have the opportunity to get it real soon.

Scared 😬

Work sent out a list of places in the county accepting healthcare workers for the vaccine but they’re booked pretty far back so hopefully soon but who knows

Yes, I will. There will be no normal life or anything close to it for years unless enough people get vaccinated. So it's either vaccine, endless lockdowns or a free reign for the virus and so many dead bodies that it resembles the great plague.

@SW-User so very true. I wish USA would have taken it more seriously. New Zealand got rid of it long ago

I wouldn’t trust a vaccine when it normally takes 15 years to come out and this one was out in a few months.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@BlueRain I think part of the reason it take years is because there is no real push. Yes I understand they needed to be testing and testing over long periods of time,, but we don't have time in this situation. Thanks for answering

I'll be getting mine as soon as it's available in March. Given how many cases you guys have over there, i'd be getting it as soon as i could as the downside of covid including surviving it and ending up with long-covid far outweigh any proven issues with the vaccine.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@SW-User true. I'm so ready to resume normal life

@iamnikki It won't make things perfect but it'll be way better. So the vaccine has a 90% effectiveness rate, so it means that according to current stats there will still be 10% of people who get vaccinated who could still get covid. Interestingly the flu vaccine is actually less effective at around 72%. So it's possible to get the covid vaccine and still get covid, but your odds are reduced to 1 in 10, which is much better.

@SW-User vaccines don't make you immune, they just lessen the severity. I'm still scared cause it's so new.

I got it a couple weeks ago. My arm was a little sore for less than a day but nothing since.
SubstantialKick · 36-40, M
I am not a fan of needles, but I will do what I have to do.

As soon as I can...

Not scared!

I'm not a health care worker so I won't be getting one any time soon. There's still the higher risk group to get through after that.
Driver2 · M
No , too late for that
Sweetpoison · 41-45, F
No, i won’t
openwater · 46-50, M
Not sure. Would like to see if side effects occur in the long run, but with the waiting list, the wait may be possible.
FlowersInHerHair · 51-55, F
Probably will have to for work. I’m okay with it. Especially since we are waiting on hub’s COVID test to get back.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
No, I get sick with paraflu all winter long whenever I take a flu vaccine, last one was about 25 years ago and I’ve never had paraflu since. I don’t trust the vaccines.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Tastyfrzz no I am not. The vaccine affects my immune system that way. I told my doctor when it happened the third time, and he said “Oh yeah it does me the same way. I can’t take it either”. But damn they never ever warn you about para flu. It also affects my sisters the same way.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@FurryFace Maybe if you get para flu I’l laugh at you.
Ramon67 · 61-69, M
I work in the hospital and I’m going to wait till it’s mandatory
YoungPoet345 · 26-30, F
Yes ma’am. I sure will. As soon as it’s available to me.
jim44444 · 70-79, M
First dose of Moderna already done.

No issues.
Fauxmyope2 · 31-35, F
I am a public school teacher and am supposed to be eligible soon. That said, I don’t feel right that others that I personally regard as being more urgent should get it after me. I am 26 and in good health.
walabby · M
@Fauxmyope2 Just do it. There'll be enough vaccine for all.
Fauxmyope2 · 31-35, F
@walabby Thank you for your concern. 🤗.
RainStone · 56-60, M
Yes. I trust science.

Yes, I will definitely get the vaccine as soon as I can.
I’m not high risk, so it’s not on my priority list.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Yes!!! Stick me!
Atlotto · M
Nope. I already had covid 19.
Atlotto · M
@iamnikki Like a flu. I still have a nagging cough and a metallic taste in my mouth.
iamnikki · 31-35, F
@Atlotto I've never had more than a cold. How long ago did you get it? So you can't taste anything besides the metal taste?
Atlotto · M
@iamnikki
How long ago did you get it?
Mid December.

So you can't taste anything besides the metal taste?

I can taste food, but everything tastes weird. Foods I don't usually eat, seem to taste the best.

The metallic taste is fading, tho.

I cant get it for a while anyway. I will wait and see how things go.

@Stereoguy I have a coworker who was apart of some trial. He says he felt fine also.
