Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany), as well as Moderna (USA), announced last month that their vaccine candidates are around 94 and 95% "effective" in preventing COVID-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trials, which are still ongoing. 

Earlier this week, the White House Coronavirus Task Force was in discussion about the FDA approval (slated for December 10th at the earliest), with rumors of a vaccine launch as early as the week of December 14th!

What do you think about this? Would you be interested in getting vaccinated against COVID-19 once the vaccine is available? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

Received my second Pfizer shot yesterday PM and have experienced NO side-effects whatever.  The effect it has is giving me PEACE OF MIND.

I am in the Pfizer clinical trial. I had my shots in August 2020, did not know then if I had the vaccine or a placebo. I thought it might have been the placebo because I had no side effects with either shot. In January I was told I had gotten the vaccine. I was so happy. I go for follow ups and my blood is taken, I think this is how the see how long the shot lasts. I have never had COVID symptoms. I hope everyone gets vaccinated

I have no interest in it because it was fast made up, didn't know what side effects were and don't want that foreign stuff in me. Maybe after time I would consider it.

Husband and I received the Pfizer vaccination. No side effects at all beside a slightly sore arm for a couple of days. Now I can do things in public and I feel way more comfortable in public situations. I feel it is an important thing to do so we can get rid of this virus.

I have COPD.  I was against the vaccines bc I didn't see how they could come up with something so quickly.   We have diseases such as cancer and diabetes that have been studied for years and have no remedy.  My doubt was how could a vaccine for Covid become so quickly accessible?  After many prayers, I have decided to take the vaccine as my doctors heavily recommends.

I have taken the two Pfizer shots and I have no complaints at all. My wife takes her second shot next week.

My husband and I both got the Johnson & Johnson shot and the only side effect was a sore arm.
