Hello everyone,

How are you today? 

The pharmaceutical groups Pfizer (USA) and BioNTech (Germany) announced on Monday 9 November that their vaccine candidate is 90% "effective" in preventing Covid-19 infections, according to preliminary results of their large-scale phase 3 trial, which is still ongoing. 

What do you think about this? Do you plan to be vaccinated as soon as the COVID-19 vaccine is on the market? 

Feel free to discuss and share in the comments below!

Take care,

Courtney

I had my 2nd dose of Astra Zenica 23 days ago. No side effects at all. Glad I had it.

I have asthma, so I usually book myself an appointment for my flu jab very year unless I forget.

I'm still waiting for my appointment for my second dose, but my fiance hasn't been invited for his first one yet even though he lived with me n my mum and we both have asthma and he also helps out my youngest sister and sister-in-law, who have both had their first doses too, but they have had to have theirs done due to them having a baby and their eldest daughter who is disabled.

when my fiance rang out doctors to find out why he's not been invited for his first co-vid vaccine dose they said that they don't think he needs it. He even told them that he lives with me and my mum and that we both have asthma, but they didn't seem to care.

I had both the doses of Astra Zenica. After the first jab, I had mild fever and a bit tired on day 2. But after the 2nd jab, I was fine. Didn't even have arm ache.

@Daisydef‍ after first jab it was like I had full blown flu for 36hrs then just cold and tired for the next 2 days. I was hoping that there would be none after jab 2.
