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.

@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.
