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

Both me and my wife have had 1st & 2nd vaccines.  No problems or after effects and neither of us had any problems regarding alleged medical threats from the vaccine.  Let's get back to whatever normal will be ASAP.

@Tigger.co.uk‍ 

I am so sorry to hear about your fractures and pain. hope these strong painkillers are helping you. Watch your bowels, as the strong painkillers play havoc with your bowels and make you constipated. Hope your pain lessens soon. Are you advised any physiotherapy? You will certainly need some when you are off your sling. Wishing for you get better soon.

First vaccination was fine. Not even sore arm. Second on May 8th not so fine. I have a long history to serious side effects from medications & insect bites. 2nd dose left me very tired & still  am in waves that come for no reason. Legs feel very weak at times. Can't stand for very long. Glands below ears a bit swollen. Was virtually off insulin for diabetes [caused by medication] since before Christmas, but have had to go back to using as was getting v. high readings after both jabs for no possible reason ! That bothers me as know most people who get covid have high blood sugars.. If I ring Surgery I will have at least 3 weeks wait to even get a phone call from a GP !

I've had both of my Pfizer jabs and everything is ok it's better for me to have them as I know if I got covid I wouldnt be able to fight it as having loads of illnesses I would be first to pop md clogs so I would rather be safe than sorry and it wouldnt be fair on our NHS as a lot of people including my daughter to get an operation she has to have a hysterectomy and she has been waiting for over 9mnths now and she has been in so much pain Tigger

Having second vaccine next Tuesday.  Hooray! Will hopefully feel a little bit safer will still be wearing mask/ face covering and not going out very much, but, will feel a kind of relief I think.

Having my 2nd vaccination on 1st June 2021... Can't wait to get it done and then not have to worry about it... Will still wear my mask, wash hands, sanitise and keep my distance from others!

@lesmal‍ 

Very pleased that you have got your date for 2nd vaccine. I am pleased that you are going to continue the same as me  re Hands Face and Space. We can not afford to let our guards down. Good luck for 1st June.

The best thing is to make sure you have done what you need to....

Hands face space 

And trust that no- one else has.

Stay home as much as you can to stay safe.
Yes we are all bored/fed up etc. Let those who want to, catch the Indian variant

i think it will be with us for a long time now because it got out of control in the beginning. we will have to learn to live with it and change our behavior accordingly. ive had both my jabs willingly.
