Will you all get the vaccine when it comes out?
Seems like there’s mixed results from some polls?
I’d do it myself but I’m not in a hurry.
I know these polls aren’t necessarily reflective of what might happen but, I was surprised by how many said they wouldn’t get it.

In an Express.co.uk poll - which ran from 9.30am to 10pm today - asked whether people would take the vaccine. Out of 8,521 votes, 62 percent of people voted in favour of taking the vaccine.
Just 32 percent would not take the vaccine when it became available and six percent said they don’t know.

Yes, I will. And I've talked my elderly relatives into getting it at well.
Interestingly my partner and her colleagues who work in a hospital are far more hesitant. And say they want to wait and see. Apparently, this has all been done far too quickly and they don't trust that it's truly safe.
I myself want to get back to normal life. I'll take the 'risk' to achieve that. Bring it on.

Yes. Without it we wont get rid of these restrictions. Will be mandatory to travel to some places I bet aswel so jag me up.
I think that will be the decider for a few people. It’s obviously easy to not do something (like get a vaccine) but if you need it to do certain things like go to certain countries or like on Qantas (apparently) fly on that airline, or do certain activities, then more people will go and get it.

Best wait about 10 years then.
Someone said to me the other day that they want to see how new born babies turn out before they take it.I think they'll definitely apply pressure to people to take it, either directly or indirectly.

Looking forward to everywhere being circa 40% quieter. Didn't realise that so many people enjoy being furloughed/out of work and are happy to spend their lives kept locked indoors. The rest of us will get on with our lives.
That seems to be working on the assumption that those not going to take it are going to keep themselves locked indoors?I can’t see how, in real terms, you’ll have a choice. It will be needed to fly to certain destinations / on certain airlines, and beyond that the social distancing restrictions will remain in place until herd immunity is reached via vaccination. So unless people want to see the economy even MORE ruined, vaccination it is.
You can argue until the cows come home as to whether that is right or not, but it won’t change the outcome. If you love freedom of choice, there’s always America.

It won't get us back to normal because giving in to abuse of power never works like that. It will make them demand something else and something else, and repeat the whole exercise again and again.Interestingly my partner and her colleagues who work in a hospital are far more hesitant.

The more people don't take it the harder it will be to compel people to or make accessing services conditional on having the vaccine.
I can well understand the desire and indeed desperation to return to normal but taking unnecessary medication, rushed out in an environment of immense political and commercial pressure is not the way.

Sorry for being a bit thick but does getting the vaccine stop you spreading covid or just hopefully stop those that catch covid getting really ill with it? I thought you could still catch covid like a flu etc and spread it but the vaccine just stops it developing into something worse.
The vaccine then enables more economic activity as less people are hopeful getting admitted or dying and the hospitals etc aren’t going to get overwhelmed.
Apologies if I’ve misunderstood this though.
