Would you vaccinate today?
If you got offered an effective vaccine today, that was approved by the EU/ whatever you have in the US. Would you take it? Considering they may not have figured out all the side effects. Swine flu vaccine comes to mind. I would absolutely inject it straight into my veins.

Totally waiting for me. I'm not sure what the cost will be, I don't have insurance, but I will probably get the vaccine sometime in the future. Kind of like a new console, you gotta wait for the reviews.
I'd take it immediately. It's the responsible thing to do for society, and even if it isn't fully effective it still gives more protection than what we have currently (nothing).
On one hand, I would point out the 'beta testing' is the testing already ongoing, and that once that's concluded there's a 99.99999999% chance it's safe.
On the other hand, you're apparently in Australia, so I'm already jealous of how you and New Zealand have been going with it, so eh. Maybe you can afford us 'much more prevalent' places (hi from the UK!) to go first...
In Canada 3 million doses is said to be available in early 2021, that won't be enough to vaccinate everyone, so it will be in a short supply for a while.
The target is by fall of 2021 for easy accessability.
That said, I'll try to get mine as soon as is reasonable.

Waiting, but not due to side effects but due to efficacy.
Already the Astra Zenica trials have been shown to be so full of fuckups that they're expanding and re-running them.
Already the Astra Zenica trials have been shown to be so full of fuckups that they're expanding and re-running them.
And the other two trials to report have so far shown no sign of any fuckups at all, nor is there any belief there have been any outside of AstraZeneca. And the the AstraZeneca one still shows it works to some degree, with the actual effectiveness the thing they need to pin down with further analysis.
Yep. The chances of having a side effect are none. The biggest side effect you may get is a sore arm after the shot.
Yeah, but I'm in the UK, so it's the AstraZeneca one that I care about.
I have no interest in getting two jabs for a 50/50 shot at immunity, that's just not a good cost/benefit to me. Once a 90+% effective single jab is available, sign me up.
Wait, so two jabs, 90% is still not good enough for you?
Because the 'prime then boost' approach is quite common in vaccines, and there's only like one of the potential Covid-19 ones that's trying for a one jab approach...
Also, while the UK government might have 'pre-ordered' 100m doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, they have also ordered another 250m+ doses of others.
Let's be completely honest with people getting the vaccine, because they do need to come back a second time. Headache, muscle pain and fatigue are the most common side effect sited with Moderna, and similar with Pfizer. This needs to be communicated honestly to the people taking the vaccines so they are prepared, and so they know they are not experiencing something rare, everything is going fine and they shouldn't be scared of the second shot. Clear and honest communication is the only weapon we have against anti-vaxxers. This might also mean that for hospital staff, this is ideally planned on their last day of work and not in the middle of a work week for instance so as not to impact service and give people time to actually rest the day after.
COVID Vaccine Side Effects Include High Fever, Body Aches and Bad Headaches
Experts are urging the public to be informed that promising new COVID-19 vaccines that may soon be available could provoke severe, but temporary, side effects in some who receive them.

Eh. It's a spectrum.
Two jabs for a 60% chance is obviously no good, wouldn't even consider it.
One jab for a 95% chance is a dead cert, I'd probably even queue up for that.
Two jabs and a 90% chance is really borderline, but sure I guess I'd go for it.
