Will you be first in line for a Covid vaccine?

When available to me I will be in line to get it.

Melody P., have you seen any results from the trials that are going on? Do you personally know anyone who has had the vaccine?

I live in Texas...no one here that I know has had the vaccine but I know someone who is on a vent right now and they are saying she will likely not make it. I also know that over 50 people have died in my city in the past 2 weeks. we have to have morgue trailers to handle it. I am more scared of Covid-19 than the vaccine.

Tack eleven more people onto that total for today alone.

Melody, I seem to have missed this post. There have been so many healthcare workers say they have large numbers who have died from the virus, so I'm also more afraid of it than from a vaccine that hundreds of scientists have been working on. I thought I was on the fence, but the more I read, the more I'm convinced that the scientists are working to save us. I don't need more convincing. It's so sad for so many people and their families.

I am scared too Regina! They had 17 die here over the weekend and 7 today. What scares me is, at least here, the young people have more cases but by far older folks are the ones dying.

it's just so scary!

I'm not high risk either, but I'll get it soon after it's available to me - which will probably be late spring or summer, I'm guessing. By then we'll probably know if there are "issues" with it (not long term issues, though - but I'm OK with that. I don't want to be vulnerable to COVID for the rest of my life...)

catwoman7, I hear ya, this past year (almost) of our lives has been long enough for me...I have a grown son in a lockdown state that is so fearful of covid that he hardly lives. Much of it comes from his own anxieties and nothing personally experienced, but still it's changed the way we live and are able to be with our loved ones so much. I am DONE.

I will be first on line as soon as it is available to me, AFTER the new administration is inaugurated.

hollykim, thanks! It's funny, I started to read your post and my mind replaced the word inaugurated with the word Vaccinated! I'm supposing they will vaccinate the new President and his cabinet first, right?
