When offered, will you get the vaccine?

[Barry.]

Yes

[LeatherTrumpet]

yes

[Daniel.]

Are you not worried? I'm meant to be getting it in February as I work in social work and I'm very hesitant.

If it was dangerous they wouldn’t be making it. I mean I understand why you are hesitant but tbh I need to get it for my lungs so I can’t afford to say no

[Scarlett.]

If offered, yes.

[bitontheslide]

yes

[AnnieK]

I was unsure at first but as its the route out of this, I will get it when I'm offered.

[Daniel.]

Are there any possible side effects?

[Novo]

na i have a weird thing with vaccinations, i was ill for about 6 months when i have the manengties one which has always put me off, that was the last one i had

[Jake.]

Honestly don’t think that this is going to go away until the majority of people are vaccinated so yes

[parmnion]

I'd rather die.

[Ramsay]

It's the only way out of this and there were no terrible side effects in the trials or so far so yes of course. Trust doctors and scientists over Conspiracy theoriests people PLEASE

I'm more worried about long term effects.

[joeysteele]

[Cherie]

Yes,

When you think of the stuff we put in our bodies via alcohol and junk food, will take my chances with this

[Daniel.]

WELL I need to make up my mind soon my work is being offered it next month and I'm still undecided

[thesheriff443]

Il take it like a man

[Mystic Mock]

Tbh I'm nervous about taking it, but I do go out quite a bit so I feel like I need to take the Vaccine.

[LaLaLand]

Absolutely.

[Jack_]

By the time I’m offered it I probably won’t need it (because most people will have had it)

So maybe not, but that’s not because I’m worried about the vaccine (it’s safe), but more if I can avoid a needle, I will

[Elliot]

I mean realistically, there’s no way of knowing the long term effects of covid either..I’d rather take my chances with a vaccine

Vaccines tend to not have any long term effects past a few weeks anyway especially mRNA vaccines which once exposed have a really short half life. They don't stay in your body for long at all.
If you're getting the pfizer or mordena vaccine it's the mRNA vaccine you're not getting injected with the bad part of the virus like before to have your body develop immunity. Here's a couple links bleow that goes through how mRNA vaccines work.
This is an absolute revelation in the vaccine world and I can't wait to see what can come from this. I hate to bring up real life experience into it because anyone can lie on the internet but trust me I'm in my final year of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Science we have studied vaccines in detail. People here have me on FB so they can go look at my page if it needs confirmation
It's completely understable to be wary because it may seem rushed also incase you are but really regular vaccines take so much longer to develop as a cost effective measure. It's cheaper to spread out the trials over 10 or so years. Covid tho is such a widespread problem that they're happy to throw the cash at it while having simultaneous trials going on plus most of the work was already done from SARS back in the early 2000s they just had to pick up from that. 60k+ or so people have taken it for the trials plus the millions that have already taken it in the general public, you are probably a normal healthy regular member of the population so you can sit back and see the effects of the rest of the population before it's your turn if you choose to take it.
When side effects of these vaccines which may come up which may be bad because no matter what you'll come across people who take a bad reaction to a foreign substance going into your body, it will be such a small case, a way small percentage than the number than actually die from covid.
No one wants to mess this up and be known as the company that ****ed up so they're all really careful with it. Sorry for the essay haha Im not a fully fledged doctor or scientist but Any more questions let me know if you want on here or PM, same goes for anyone here

Agreed, theres cases of people not getting their smell and taste back and even people's lungs which are really messed up from it. I know a guy who got covid back last summer and he still can't taste food it's just texture to him and he's only mid 20s. These are actual known long term effects of covid
