The Official Covid Vaccine Thread

Trollheart · 03-19-2021, 06:21 AM

Separate to the Covid thread: when are you and yours expecting to get the vaccine? Have you any issues with getting it? Have you got it yet? Do you feel you're being forgotten? What do you think of how the distribution is set up at the moment in your state/country? And many more questions.

I had assumed Karen would have it soon, but her doctor says the delivery for the OVER-75s was cancelled, so they have to get theirs first, which leaves us waiting even longer. Only the Great Pixie knows when I'll get it!

We can keep a note here of who gets it and when. Or not.

July/August for me. Checked on the NHS website. But they have slowed down the rollout cos of a vaccine shortage so might be a bit after that.

Will be having the vaccine yes.

Just like flu shots I'll probably just rely on the herd immunity of everyone else getting vaccinated to keep me safe

Just like with torrents.... There is this ethos online that if you torrent you should seed and not just leach of everyone else. I don't seed. Why expose myself to the extra risk when I get nothing out of it?

There's this concept in the social sciences known as the free rider problem. I am the free rider

Then i hope you'll be wearing a mask until every person is vaccinated.

Wow, such a massive dick.

I'll get vaccinated. Not gonna lie, I'd rather it's not the Astrazeneca, but I'll take my chances with anything, rather than risk getting covid.

No idea when, registered in Malaysia but as an expat am on the bottom of the list so probably some time at the end of the year.

lol jwb's a pussy.

I'm in the last phase of the vaccine rollouts where I live which is tbd. They just started the second to last phase which is given to people with medical conditions, including being overweight, in ****ing America, so it's gonna be a while.
