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

I have gotten the first dose of Pfizer- totally painless and no side effects. I don't feel that I was in danger of contracting COVID, I believe I probably have immunity from low level exposure to many COVID patients at work. I was an auxilliary officer and my post was at the entry way to the Emergency Department of a huge and famous hospital main campus. I checked everyone entering for weapons using a wand and if they were able, had them empty pockets, and I checked their backpacks and purses, and had them pass through a metal detector. I checked over 100 people every work day until just before Thanksgiving when I retired. I worked in that area for 6 years and never contracted more than a 3 day cold, and never once called off. I got the vaccine out of an abundance of caution, to help everyone's life get back to normal sooner, and to be able to get into every place I want including cruise ships, planes, and other countries. Even if the US will not require vaccine passports or proof of vaccination, you can bet other countries will and some already do. I recommend that as many of you as possible get the vaccine. COVID is nothing to mess with. I escaped unscathed. My own brother spent a month in the ICU, 5 days on a ventilator and almost died.

I got the 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. First,  no complications.  Second, a day later chills, body aches and headache. Over with in 24 hours. Well worth it.

We just got our second Pfizers today.   Pending side effects, so far so good.

I am scheduled for my second (moderna) shot first week of April.  I hope it’s easier than the first.  I had a severe reaction, chills, body aches, fever, like I had covid all over again.  Now my husband, who is a cancer patient had no issues either shot.

I will be getting the vaccine.  I have breast cancer who is taking chemo. There would be serious consequences if I were to get covid. I'm on the priority list but, there are no vaccines in my area. Lord willing, more vaccines and appointments will become available soon.

I have gotten my first dose of Moderna  with no side-effects and in three weeks I'll be getting my second dose and I don't expect to get any problems from that shot either.
