If validated of course I'll take it, why the F wouldn't I?

I'll be in front of the guy that's in front of the guy that's in the front

Health care personnel and first responders first

Depends on what my doc says.
If I get the okay, I'll be lining up for it.
I already get the two-shot shingles vaccine, and my annual flu shot.

That said, I'm still going to wear a mask when I'm out.

I don't believe some people on this thread read the whole article. This has nothing to do with the government, except for the FDA. It has nothing to do with the CDC.and Pfizer said it will be free to all citizens. Read folks, READ! GEEZ!

Without seeing their methods of analysis, it's very difficult to speak to whether/ when I would get it. That being said, with my international travel to high risk exposure places, I've been immunized for damn near everything that's offered, and am a huge advocate of childhood vaccines. if the data backs this up, I'd be in the front of the line to get it as a nurse, and would happily roll up my sleeve and assume the risk to minimize the risk of infecting someone I love or provide care to who would likely experience severe disease. It's not so much about my health as it is public health. I think we've all seen this year how important a healthy society can be.

From what I've read, 50% is the cutoff for a vaccine approval. The goal isn't specifically to immediately eliminate the virus but if they can drive the 'Effective Reproduction Number'(Rt) below 1, then the disease will fairly quickly(effectively) fade from our population as did Polio and Measles.
Just now we're not doing so well. Check this link: [rt.live] . Only two states currently have Rt numbers below 1. (Also look at the past graphs to see how we were doing better fairly recently but we're slipping these days.).

Personally, I will of course wait for them to perform their safety tests on the vaccine. Again, from what I've seen that's going to be at least a couple of more months. But then I will probably take it. Every person that 'can't' propagate the virus is a step towards the correct definition of herd immunity.

Another question that will arise shortly will be how quickly the virus mutates. Will there be one or more new strains each year to have to develop new vaccines for? The sooner we drive current strain infection rates to effectively zero, the better.

I'll wait, only because there are 328 million people in the U.S. and the drug companies can't make that many vaccines overnight nor can that many vaccinations be administered in just a few weeks. I'll let the elderly and higher risk people go first. I don't mind waiting a month or two.

I'm not worried about side effects or anything like that. I don't think that's how vaccines work. The vast majority people have no negative side effects from vaccines that I'm aware of (aside from maybe a brief and minor physical reaction such as from the flu vaccine).

I'm also assuming that the vaccine will be free or nearly so, as it should be.

Like Kamala Harris said in the VP debate, if Trump is not taking it, I am not taking.

My thoughts are I will after I see the CEO, all the executives and board of directors be inoculated. Its not that I don't trust Pfizer, ok, it's exactly that! [abcnews.go.com]

if Dr Fauci, or professionals appointed by Biden say its safe: yes. before then, hell no. Besides, it should be given to far more important people than me first.

It's initial results, far from being ready for massive distribution. Stay in if feeling ill, wash your hands, cough into a tissue and wear a friggin' mask out in public.

I'll take a vaccine, whether this one or another, when it's deemed to be safe, effective and available to me. I will trust my doctor's advice and watch the progress of the various vaccines myself to feel informed.

I will avoid close contact with anti-vaxxers, for a while, even after I've been vaccinated, since they would still pose a risk to me even if the vaccine is 90% effective. I'd rather surround myself with folks wanting to be part of the solution.

Not yet. The company just told the results were good, but did not show anything. For now is just a marketing campaign.

Vaccination’s IMO are not needed to be healthy. A strong immune system is. Who the hell knows what’s in these da,
my things anyway? Besides, I’m not one of those who trusts big pharma.

I'll wait a few months, then take it, UNLESS IT IS MANDATORY, in which case I will vigorously resist.

Once proper studies are done yes

It will be a long time before I will trust the federal gov't and it's entities like the CDC. If they say it's 90 percent effective I tend to believe it's probably only half of that. I will wait for verifiable proof before I believe them.

I bought festival tickets this year for May 2021. It was an optimistic punt I know but if it means I can take drugs and party all night then pee into a milk bottle at 4.30 am, then I'm up for it.

How many people think the vaccine will be affordable or free for those without insurance? Will it be affordable for those with insurance?

If my doctor reccomends it, I'll have it. Here's to rolling my sleeves up!

Heck yeah, I'll take it!

As soon as it's available, I would take whatever reliable vaccine is available. There will be a bunch not just Pfizer, I think they pulled a fast one to tout their stock BTW. I would even take Sputnik V if it cleared trials and would protect me from Covid-19. They won't be available for at least 6-8 months to the general public.

If you test positive for the antibodies, do you still need a vaccine?!

In the UK , the government plans to roll out the a vaccine, when available, to the most in danger groups first. Beginning with the very old and the health care workers and so on down the list.

I will go therefore when asked by the government and take the dose. Thereby doing what is needed to help establish herd immunity, without putting myself ahead of others more in need.
