What are everyone's thoughts on getting the COVID vaccine?

With the vaccine coming soon, how many are going to get the vaccine? If no, why?

  1. Hi , and thanks for your post - it's a good question.

    From my perspective, I'm looking forward to the wide dissemination of this vaccine. Given what the world has had to endure for the past 9 months, this seems to be the beginning of the control of this virus.

    As soon as I am eligible, I will be rolling up my sleeve for the vaccination.

    I'm hopeful others in the community will weigh in with their opinion as well.

    How do you feel about it, ed8811901?

    All the best,

    1. I'm getting it ASAP. I hope I can get the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines, but I'll settle for any of them. Some protection is a lot better than none!

      1. Hi , and thank you for joining in the conversation here. I am with you on this - looking forward to the vaccine! Please do keep us posted as to how this all turns out for you.

        All the best,

    2. Yep... waiting for an appointment now as I am deemed to be in the “ clinically extremely vulnerable” group. Don’t much care which the UK NHS gives me TBH

      1. Hi , and thank you for joining in the conversation here about the vaccination (around the world), as you appear to be in England. Please do check back and keep us apprised of your progress.

        Wishing you well,

    3. I will get this vaccine as soon as I can. My only question is were do I go to get this? I am 66 years old, will my Doctor let me know?

      1. Hi. I am glad to hear you are willing to get the vaccine. I personally think it is a good idea for anyone in this community to get theirs. Each state is responsible for doling out the COVID vaccine. So, how it is doled out may vary from state to state. Still, I would imagine you should either hear from state or local officials when the vaccine will be available for you. Also, it is possible you may hear from your doctor's office. Does this help?
