Interesting in if you intend to have the covid vaccine as soon as available or not etc.

No need to comment if you don't wish to, just interested in the results.

thanks in advance
 
I went immediately but I would read up about who did the vaccine, what is it's basis? I believe most being looked at are adaptions of existing vaccines and so should fundamentally be safe. As long as that is the case I would be nervous but dive in. Sooner vaccinated the sooner I can go around hugging random strangers again, sitting next to people in a pub etc.
 
I will definitely have it, but not straigjt away. There are others who need it more than me
My understanding is that key workers, NHS, care workers and so on will automatically get priority. The rest will presumably be staggered in some way. For the flu jab this year for example they are allowing over 50's to get it but not yet as they are still jabbing other older groups.
 
As I'll probably be in the group of people who will get last dibs on getting it I will, unless it surfaces that something is clearly wrong with it amongst people that have taken it earlier.
 
I think my wife and myself will be near front as key workers and I'll want one soon as I can to protect the kids

The NHS deserve it more but I can see work buying some to give to staff
 
As an NHS worker I'll probably be offered it and the large part of me is all for having it asap but there is a part of me that would prefer to hang on and wait 2-3 months and see if the results on large scale vaccinations are proving positive in terms of no side effects and more importantly that it is seen to be working
 
I've answered undecided because there's not enough information to make a reasonable decision at this time. Without derailing, I genuinely think it's an unanswerable question at this point in time.
 
I reckon 'as soon as its available' will vary wildly around the world. I don't see us getting it here for some considerable time after places like US/UK purchase their fill. Then like many I'll wait my turn behind the essential workers & protected/public figures etc
 
I have a (mild) underlying condition and I’d rather take my chances with a vaccine than wind up with Covid.

I’ve had a mild case of Covid already, but remain concerned that the antibodies I had in June may now have done a bunk. Whilst there are bound to be some concerns about a new vaccine, I’m confident it won’t be used unless they are as happy as they can be that it is safe.

So if it is a choice between a vaccine and taking my chances with a severe bout of the virus, the vaccine wins by a mile.

Reckon I kind of fall into the thought process(I'm nowhere near the front of the list, so time will be my friend).

Was kind of worrying to see a post about, a body collecting 1/2 billion syringes ready. Kind of made me wonder if something went wrong, its effecting a lot of people very quickly. I appreciate it is fairly unlikely but in vaccine history (including fairly recently) there are cases of that potential. Glad there will be more than one in due course.
