Where are you on the vaccine roll-out schedule and...
December 1, 2020 at 10:06 pm
... do you think you'll take the vax when it's your turn or will you wait (for noble or ignoble reasons)?
I'm right after nursing home residents, but I see moms down the line from me and I'm not sure if I need that shot more than they do.

I will see what my doctor suggests. I am interested in seeing the numbers as the vaccine is administered. What is the efficacy? What are the side effects? I am all for vaccines but not so much being a guinea pig.

I'll probably be in one of the the last groups, age and ex smoker being my only determinants.
So yep, I'll be taking the vaccine when it becomes available to me provided that no disturbing morbidities show up at a significant percentage in the earlier groups.

I don’t know. I hate injections, and the best strategy I’ve had for enduring it is biting down on my wallet. I’m not sure how viable of an option this will be in our masked age. I’m hoping that it works, but given that I’ve heard immunity might only last for a few months, I’m unsure that there might even be a point. I’ve made clear that I have misgivings about the annual flu jabs (especially since every year I can remember having the shot, I also remember getting sick, going to the doctor, and getting diagnosed with the flu anyway) but, hey, at least what I’ve heard about the new COVID vaccine, with a potential 95% effectiveness rate, it’s at least far more effective than any flu vaccine I’ve been able to find data on (and it ranges from 2004-5’s 10% to 2010-11’s 60%.)
As for life situation: I’m 30 years old (going on 31) and in mediocre health (I have been dealing with a chronic cough for months) and I live with my father, who recently turned 66, so I’m not sure where I’d fit on the vaccine schedule.

I am a university professor and have asthma. I will take the vaccine when I get a chance.
I also want to travel again. And have dinner at a restaurant. And hang out with friends.

As soon as possible! My wife is a teacher so she will probably be next in line after medical staff.
