Is anyone here planning to get the COVID vaccine, or NOT to get it?
It hasn't been properly tested so we don't know if it works for the long term.
But it has been widely distributed and used internationally. I feel like we're not getting definitive information about it.
I'm pushing 70 and it's a real double-edged sword. If I get COVID, it could kill me. If I get the vaccine, it could interact with Rx meds I take daily, or my body might not be able to handle it.
But I think I'm going to get it. I was out getting groceries for hours yesterday, standing in long lines, being bumped into and bumping into others. I had to bag my own groceries because checkout personnel isn't allowed to touch bags customers bring. People seemed so afraid of others.
It was so frightening, I cut my shopping trip short and sped home. My pantry is already filled to capacity, but I received vouchers from the city that I have to use at Safeway every month. It's a lot of money to spend, but the vouchers can be used for cleaning supplies or any other necessity.
But being required to get out there makes me so nervous. I don't think I really have a choice.
How do you feel about getting vaccinated?
