"it depends on what you'll be allowed do without the vaccine. my mind continuously changes. a vaccine produced in 8 months is bound to have people sceptical. also taking a vaccine for something that has over a 99 % survival rate. it depends your own situation and how u look at things. " Yeah 8 months. But I’d assume with the amount of staff and companies working this period justifies the short period! Plus it’s a pandemic that we’re going through.. that’s the way I look at it.. I agree with you to a certain extent, as there has been people who have been healthy and has been left with long term damage to their bodies. I.e. loss of mobility etc. | |||

"And with that I'm out...I'll be getting it.... Get it or dont get it....its up to each individual...." you're right, it is, but I feel for the country to return to normality, a certain % will have to take it. | |||

"Each to their own, and im not an anti vaxxer but no i wont be getting it. And i dont agree with forced vaccinations either..this "you cant travel unless you have had it theory" is basically forced consent. Its my body, i get to say what is put into it. Q" It's been the case for many years that vaccinations for various diseases are required for some foreign travel. Is that also forced consent or is it just this one that has you suddenly precious about it? | |||

"Yes, depending on which one it is. I’ve read up on the ones that have released study results and will try to get the others as they are released. I’m happy that it’s safe enough to outweigh the risk of covid and I’m also content with the risk/reward ratio on this." I'm not sure we will get much of a choice which one we get | |||

It was on the news the other day that people who have been vaccinated can still carry and therefore still pass on the virus as it can still be present in the nasal passage of vaccinated people. I take from that, that it doesn't stop the spread but prevents the individual from getting severely ill from it. | |||

I'm guessing all businesses will be buying it for their cross border truckers too. Will the vaccine not be free" Yes but it's being rolled out to those most vulnerable and those who are on the front line first. This will take time as limited supplies are available, the UK isn't the only country requesting it. There are those whom the government feel do not need it, ie children they they will be at the bottom of the queue. This is an example if how other vaccines are distributed: The NHS has calculated that giving the shingles vaccine to 70-year-olds will protect the greatest number of people for the longest possible time. Some vaccinated people will still get shingles, but the effects of the disease are likely to be less severe than they would usually be. So I don't see it as an issue for those who choose not to take it, and certainly don't see why pro vaxxers are trying to shame or restrict those who may choose not to take it either. | |||

It's protecting the vunerable. Nothing wrong with that, obviously. | |||

"Will all us non essential people even be offered it? I cant see the government spending money where they really really dont have too. Especially if we all need it every year for evermore. Logistical nightmare surely. They will just accidently run out when they've vaxed the ones they want too. My wacky theory of the day " That’s been in my thoughts to, are they really going to offer the whole population the option of having the vaccination, I’m thinking not.... already mooted that under 16s won’t be offered it. Time will tell | |||

"Has it been made clear what this vaccine actually does? From the data so far it doesn't appear to stop the transmission of the virus but lessens it's severity if you contract the disease. " Yes, it prevents you getting ill with Covid, ie you won't become ill and require hospital treatment. This disease is not the only one whereby vaccination prevents illness in the recipient but might not stop them spreading it. Children who get the nasal flu vaccine actually shed viable virus for a few days after the vaccination and are recommended to avoid contact with vulnerable people/people with weakened immune systems. | |||

"Practise Nurse's are given 2 mins to give each person a flu jab, explain and document in most surgeries, in some its 1 minute. Standing all day doing this work for some is impossible. Here they do 8.30 - 1.30 flu clinics. Spare a thought for all who will be doing these covid vaccinations. Some of them also need mixing, they are not even pre-syringed." They won't be using the same criteria. Doctors have requested additional funding too for each vaccination given. I understand where you're coming from though. | |||

I think it's more accurate to say it greatly reduces the chance of getting it and if you do the chance of hospitalisation is negligible unless it triggers other underlying health issues. | |||

There are already 9 European countries who have said vaccination will be compulsory. If anyone realistically thinks that these countries and others such as Australia and New Zealand where COVID levels are very low are going to let in travellers who haven’t been vaccinated from other countries where levels are much higher they are deluded. | |||
