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

@lesmal‍ 

So sorry that you are feeling unwell after your Moderna Booster. I had Pfizer booster and apart from slightly sore arm suffered nothing else. I hope this will pass soon and you feel better very soon. Please update us tomorrow, hopefully to tell us that you are feeling better. looking forward to hearing that. Good luck.

@nineteen_gale‍ and @laney365‍... Thank you for good wishes. Feeling slightly better but still exhausted and lots of muscle pain all over.

Going back to bed for more sleep later. I'm sure by tomorrow all will be good. 

Keep safe.

@mr chipps‍... I totally agree with you about following the scientific advice etc. I am so pleased I have had both vaccines and the booster now.

No regrets, I just wish other people would do the same.

@lesmal‍ 

I am so glad that you are feeling a little bit better, but yes, a bit of extra sleep and rest would do you a world of good. I hope you recover more, and speedily too. Keep us posted. Good luck and take care

@mr chipps‍ 

I entirely agree with you I too only listen to the Govt advisors and scientist and do what they suggest, and ignore all scaremongering. I am glad that in spite of having autoimmune conditions and on high doses of steroids, I still feel safer having taken both vaccines, flu jab and booster.

I would have never said no to the vaccine and booster, although I have had side effects two out of three times I also have had a flu jab.  Thank you very much NHS. The thought of having covid frightens the crap out of me knowing that I have COPD and heart issues besides my arthritis.  I do believe that would be the end of me , plus I have had CPAP not again thanks.
