option to take the covid vaccine but have opted out would you all take it just trying to get the general consensus of how others feel not media generated responses.
Hail state!

I'm not, I also have never taken flu shot. To each there own.
California has been shut down with mask mandates nearly the whole pandemic... it shouldn?t be bad there.** as far as the Covid Vaccine, it should be available to general public around March... so if there are side effects, they will be for the most part known.
Yes I will take it anything to get life back to as normal as possible.
nope ... but good luck out there
not yet.
I take flu vaccine every year due to how many people I'm around in my work. I will not take the covid vaccine unless my company "leans on me" hard enough.
Took flu shot 1 time, and I got the flu... the only time I got the flu in my life. I don't plan to take the flu shot again, and I won't be taking the covid shot.Quote:

Yes once this first round is through. I figure any problems will be identified with it.
Had the flu once and it was horrible. Been taking the flu shot for years since I work offshore. No issues since.
I'm going to wait and see about the side effects. Not going to take it yet.
Where in Cali? Bigger metro areas, if I had the opportunity I would get it. I usually do not get the flu shot, but had to this year due to new job (@ hospital). Was sore in the arm for a couple of days. Not a big deal.
Personally, I am going to wait and see in terms of the covid vaccine. Since healthy, I am near the end of the line anyways. If I had to guess, April/May timeline I will have the opportunity so will have plenty of time to decide for sure.
Good luck.
same here with the Flu shot ... but back then they injected a LIVE virus - todays Flu shots use a DEAD virus and now I get the shotQuote:

I was offered to take it sometime this month on a date TBD with the follow on shot next month. I declined, but I will eventually have to take it.Quote:

Please, please, please take the vaccine. The closer we get to herd immunity the closer we can all go back to normal. This vaccine is totally safe and shown to be effective (both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines).
Truly, vaccines are one of the greatest inventions in human history. Full stop.
I personally will not be in a hurry to take it. Don't have any risk factors and the survival rate is similar to flu for my profile. I will take it once it has been in circulation for a little while without any negative effects. I will encourage my parents to take it.Quote:

I have decided to take the vaccine when I can. I've gone back and forth bit decided by the time it gets to me, enough people will have taken it to get at least a little data on it.
You should have taken logic too.Quote:

I can't believe the number not taking the vaccine!
Oh well.......
Did you watch the video? He clearly says we don't know if they prevent the virus or the spread. Now maybe this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.Quote:

Even the CDC own statistics state the efficacy of the yearly flu shot from 21-55% over the last couple of years.Quote:

Does the vaccine make you sterile? Can't be determined yet?
also the LONG TERM effects / problems are NOT knownQuote:

Nope...long term side effects won?t be know for years, the fact that in less than 1 year we have a vaccine should be a hard Hell no.
