1. I feel the same way as you, Deborah. I’m sure it will b ok in the long run..and IF I was an ACTIVE healthcare worker, I would probably get it.
2. otherwise, I am in the “wait and see” camp. 
3. ( I have no idea what this format is..it just happened).
4. beside, I go out once a week to the grocery store with a mask. Melinda drives me. We have to follow our gut.

Thank you for your thoughts. I didn't end up getting the shot. my gut just tells me not to, why I don't know, I guess I am  just scared of the unknown. I feel guilty Steve because there are so many that are waiting and here I am 65 perfectly healthy but with a chance to get one that I am letting go by. I hope whoever wants one is able to soon, I honestly think its a good thing to do, just cant get past my head

Hi Deborah,

I know a lot of folks in the medical industry here in Dallas who have all had their injections and are really glad they did.  I and Chuck signed up back in late January for ours as we fall into a group of seniors with certain health issues, however, they are so many like us that the wait is still ongoing and the number of vaccines available are slow here in Texas.  We will wait until they send us our appointment and then proceed forward.

Honestly, I can wait and see, but if the appointment comes we will go.

During the past snow storm we did invite some very close friends to stay at our home during the crises.  One of them had taken both shots with no side effects, the other one is still waiting.  He is tested every two weeks by his company.  we were glad we could accommodate their needs as they had no power or water.  We were fortunate to have both with a boil water for just 3 days and it was not so bad.  we all respected each others privacy and personal space.  It felt good to be able to help someone in need.

Hugs to you today as you ponder what to do...

each of us must follow our "gut" feeling these days.  What is good for one person may not be good for others...

Steve

Im supposed to get the first shot this morning but am petrified, my brother got his but I am definitely in the wait and see group. I just need my life back to normal so I signed up for today but the closer I get the more excuses I keep making for not going, so confused, I will let you know what I decide

I feel the same way...everything seems fine now, With the injection..but to me, it hasn,t really been tested. So I am in the “wait and see” camp. It,scares me when I see folks clambering to be first in line,

Hi Deb ...  Oh boy getting the vaccine or not is such a touchy subject.  This is my own opinion for ME!  I'm in my 70's.  I've done a lot of research on the Covid Vaccine and some of the Physicians and Surgeons online say 'no.'  I will look for the link and put it online tonight.  

I live in British Columbia, Canada.  They told us to wear masks and then months later said the masks did little.  Now the suggest 2 - 3 masks, but with just one mask some people find it hard to breath and also hard to hear anyone as their voices are muffled.  Then Health Canada was giving us figures of who died of COVID and later found that these numbers were inacurrate and not as high as made out to be.  Health Canada promised those who wanted the vaccine to get one shot and wait a few weeks and get their 2nd shot and now they say only one shot is necessary.  What I'm saying is they just keep changing things around too often.  There is also information that just because you get the COVID shot doesn't mean you can't get it.  Around and around we go.  They also say that they have no idea how these vaccines will affect our bodies in the future.  Also all viruses mutate.  So my friend, it's strictly up to you and I back anyone who chooses to get it, but do your homework.  

I have chosen against it.  I got the Hong Kong flu in the 60's and it was super bad, so much so that the hospitals were so jammed packed my mom had to get the doctor to come see me and give me a shot to stop me from up-chucking.  It took me 3 weeks to get over it, but I survived and so did others.  The death toll was high back the, but there was no mask wearing or lock-downs.  Our immune system needs to fight off some virus and it's strengthened by doing so.  Several doctors have said that very thing.  Of course I do believe in vaccines for children for polio, small pox, etc.  

If your gut is saying to get it then I would get it, but if you aren't in a hurry please talk to more than one doctor about this.  It's your body.  Many here are 'waiting to see' re others getting the vaccine shot.  

Good luck and do what you think is right.

Hugs

Marsha

Hello everyone. Today is TUESDAY .Feb 23 2021.

Five years ago on this exact date, it was ALSO a Tuesday...when,@ 1:51 PM, my beloved Bob, gave up his fight, with Brain cancer, and died.It was wonderful he was HOME, with myself, and our kitty Rudy. Rudy is 12 years old now..That night, Rudy hoped up on our bed, (Bob was in a hospital bed. ) and, has slept there ever since. This year has been harder, as my long forgotten memories have returned. Yes, I am healing, I can remember everything now...peoples names, thing we did together ..I KNEW these memories would return, and they make me smile. We had 48 years, and 8 months.,and  I will always love you, Bob. Always.
