how do you feel about the covid vaccine NOW?

[rae121452]

has your perspective changed? are you more likely or less likely to get a jab or two?

 

[oggbashan]

Not changed. I wanted it. I still want it (or them).

 

[Wrong Element]

It's one of the great scientific accomplishments ever. I can't think of anyone back in the spring who thought we'd be vaccinating people in 2020.

 

[astuffedshirt_perv]

I'm 'on track' to get my shot...in May. Not a health worker, not high risk, not an essential worker. Just waiting for enough doses to finally get to me.

 

[LauraWilling]

I will get mine as soon as available. I understand it is a shot then a second follow up. Anyone know if that is correct?

 

[oggbashan]

I will get mine as soon as available. I understand it is a shot then a second follow up. Anyone know if that is correct?

Yes, it is with the Pfizer vaccine. A shot, another one 21 days later and the effect kicks in about one week after the second shot - so 28 days to be covered.

 

[jaF0]

Unless you die before then.

 

[HisArpy]

Unless you die before then.

The end is near and only 98% of us will see the coming dawn.

 

[butters]

yeah, i'll get it as soon as available to me. i trust the doctors and scientists work even as i understand there'll be hiccups along the way as more people receive it and science learns from it. their documented work, evidence, and the word of people like fauci has me confident enough to take it understanding there may be slight risk factors.

so, yeah, if it was all under trump for the future and all his backhandling, double-dealing and lies, i'd not be trusting the information released by the likes of azar.

 

[DeluxAuto]

If it's good enough for William Shakespeare, it's good enough for me.

 

[Fermina_Daza]

If it's good enough for William Shakespeare, it's good enough for me.

Et tu, Brute?

I’m more of a fatalistic approach. A plague on all our houses. So why not?

 

[RobDownSouth]

I will get one as soon as it is available.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I am not high on the list of priority, and I will take the shot when it becomes available middle of next year. I am not sure which one it will be though.

Canada made deals ( prepurchased) with at least 6 different potential vaccines. So I am not sure which one, or one's will be offered when they become available for those not at high risk.

 

[domroger]

I am feeling more positive about it .

2 jabs for the Pfizer product. The Moderna vaccine, expected to be approved next week, is a single dose product as far as I know.

Both have very high effectiveness ratings. The Pfizer product appears to be egg incubated and has shown itself to produce an anaphylactic shock reaction in those that are sensitive to eggs. I don't know what the Moderna production process is yet.

 

[KeithD]

Sounds like I'm in the third rung down (after health care workers and those in nursing homes). I'll get it as soon as it's offered for me, which isn't a change from what I've said before, but I won't go out demanding it. I have no trouble sheltering in contrast to many who will be put in line in back of me.

 

[MNGuy]

I can wait, had the COVID a few weeks ago, got antibodies, so it's not a priority for me.

 

[rae121452]

uh oh.................................'28 days later'? i saw that movie...................

 

[albertaboy]

I am roughly 13,000,000th in line here in Canada and we are getting 250,000 before the end of the year. Our idiot PM has us behind the rest of G7, he made a deal with a Chinese firm to produce their vaccine in Canada and it fell through on the Chinese end.

I will take mine at the first date available, I think that will be some time maybe April.

 

[colddiesel]

I live in a very remote semi-desert area of Queensland Australia where there has not been a single Covid infection within 300 Km in any direction. However, being 80+ I'll get jabbed when my name comes up, hopefully around May next year with the annual flu jab.

 

[silver gurl]

I feel fine about it.

First round, which starts Monday: elder care homes and health professionals
Second round: critically ill
Third round: immune compromised and/or high risk and for those who cannot work from home.

I fall under round 3. When that will happen? Who knows. I am not confident in the supply chain.

 

[Bigspurt]

Tier 3?

Not sure where I stand in the que but I won't hesitate when they call my name. That said, I waited maybe 4 months for my shingles vax. I'm sure that there will be a line for this one.

Deals with the Chinese usually have the Chinese in charge.

hey ...

It depends on what method they use to grow the antibodies for the vaccine. There are a couple different methods that they use to come by their antibodies that would kill me quicker than that covid could. I've already lived thru the covid, it isn't likely that I would take their shot---, unless they deliver from a few hundred yards away out the barrel of a .308 or a .50 cal.

Key Points to Share with Your Patients
In addition to the following key messages, you can refer your patients with questions to CDC’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine webpage.

Like all vaccines, COVID-19 mRNA vaccines have been rigorously tested for safety before being authorized for use in the United States.
mRNA technology is new, but not unknown. They have been studied for more than a decade.
mRNA vaccines do not contain a live virus and do not carry a risk of causing disease in the vaccinated person.
mRNA from the vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell and does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA.
