Thread: Will you take the Covid vaccine?

But I am...

I may be offered the jab sometime in the late summer.

The only thing that might discourage me may be the size of that needle.

It was a normal size needle and remarkably quick, and in my case no significant discomfort to speak of.

And I'm not good at pain.

Today I got my first jab. Was surprised by the size of the needle. It looked big to me but wasn’t particularly painful. It was the Moderna vaccine.

So far nothing but a sore left upper arm.

Good news MK, stay safe.

I agreed, because she’s concerned.

She will be the one giving me the shot

Make sure it's not the chinky shit.

How are you feeling now, after a week or so after, Harry?

I was fine, no symptoms at all.

Second and final 5G DNA Chip going in on Sunday. I'll let you know if I can pick up Radio 4.

But, my daughter did suggest I book a hotel room in the area (so she could monitor me) just in case I had any side effects after the injection.

edit......

One more thing (US citizens). When scheduling your vaccination go for the early hours. If you choose the end of the day and the hospital staff/pharmacist know there are a limited number of people waiting in line they will not open a new vial just for a very few people and will reschedule you.: COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC

I don't know if your daughter plans on being fully equipped, but you are supposed to wait at the vaccine site for 15 minutes to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction to what's in the vaccine.

Which reminds me.

Washington state hospital apologizes after inviting donors to sign up for Covid-19 vaccine


A hospital in Bellevue, Washington, has apologized for emailing about 100 benefactors an invitation to sign up for the Covid-19 vaccination."We're pleased to share that we have 500 new open appointments in the Overlake COVID-19 vaccine clinic," said an email from an Overlake Medical Center, which also provided a special access code to register.
The email was obtained by The Seattle Times.

Overlake sent the email to about 4,000 members of its community "including volunteers, retired nurses and physicians, all employees and about 100 donors from our Foundation database," according to a statement by the hospital.

As of January 22, Washington is in Phase 1B tier 1 of the Covid-19 vaccine distribution, according to the state's health department website. This means all people over age 65 and those over 50 in multigenerational households are eligible to be vaccinated.

Gov. Jay Inslee expressed concern over the emails during a press conference Tuesday.

"If, in fact, they were giving preference to some VIP list, that's not the way to do it," he said. "That is not acceptable for us. We need to give everybody a fair shot at the vaccine."
Hospital officials said in the statement they understand an error was made. "We recognize we made a mistake by including a subset of our donors and by not adopting a broader outreach strategy to fill these appointments, and we apologize," the statement said.

The hospital's statement noted that people who received the invitations could only sign up if they were legally eligible to get the vaccine under current Washington state policy.
"Our intent and commitment has always been to administer every vaccine made available to us safely, appropriately, and efficiently," the hospital said.

The hospital's statement also said it had administered 11,000 vaccines to date and "will soon administer vaccines for over 40,000 community members who have upcoming appointments scheduled through our online system."

thai vaccine roll out. no mention of immigrant workers or foreign residents.

nearly 5 million with diabetes !!!

I don't know why they are so concerned with this two people who are under Ying disease?

I got my first vaccine shot Tuesday the Pfizer vaccine. Didn't feel anything, so asked if they really injected vaccine.

The Johnson/Johnson Vaccine is near approval in the US. This vaccine is one shot vaccine and requires no special storage requirements.

This is an expat forum. I put it to you that if you don't take the jab, your travelling days are probably over- or should be. Mad not to. I don't see many countries letting you in without the jab.

Vaccination certificates are going to be about as easy to acquire as phoney teaching certificates.

I don't care to break the law but were the vaccination passport to become an essential for travel (or for anything else for that matter) I would not be hesitant in acquiring a few via the web and not feel bad about doing so.

So twenty percent won't take the jab.

That might be enough to seriously challenge the capacity for herd immunity.

Enemies of the state. I can see it all now.

I will accept the vaccine when it is available to me but still doubt its effectiveness against this virus.

The fact that a valid vaccine for the common cold is still not available worries me.

Perhaps you should rethink that Russell.

No for me. I could take the high ground and be noble and say let the needy have my share but the fact is I have some concerns for everyone.

Somethings still remain in my memory...like Thalidomide babies. Thalidomide Babies And The Company That Was Responsible For Them
Plenty of info on the internet.

Not the same you say...are you sure??? Big pharma is all about making money...lots of it! And with governments indemnifying them from legal actions if it all goes wrong...that worries me a lot!

I'd prefer if stricken by the virus to have Hydroxychloroquine cocktail. Hydroxychloroquine is a 60 year old technology with few side affects.

Hydroxychloroquine Cocktail Has Been 100% Successful

And as for Fizer...I wouldn't trust that company with manufacture of vitamin "C" tablets little own an allegedly life saving vaccine. Sure I maybe a right leaning capitalistic dude but even I have limits on what I consider as 'In the public interest'. Poisoning half the world population is just not on!

Amazing he thought he'd get away with that. Two weeks ago when I arrived my documents must have been cross-checked against at least three existing lists.

this is just logic - relatives have a higher chance of coming into contact with someone working in the medical profession who may see people with the virus daily
