Thanks. I have a very small family and it's always nice when we get together.

So are you guys going to get the vaccine when it comes out?

I’m sure there is going to be a pecking order as they’ve already said as much so it probably won’t be available for just anyone for a long time

My father and I were talking about this. He’s over 65 and has had diabetes since he’s 8 or 9 and has lived longer than almost anyone in hi family but he’s weary to get the vaccine

I know I’m not getting it until it’s been out and others have experienced it first so we see any side effects

I'm 64 and have diabetes, so I suspect I'll be able to get it fairly soon after it comes out. But I do want to wait at least a little while to see if any unexpected side effects crop up. Doctors and nurses will get it first, and much as I hate using them as guinea pigs, I'm going to wait and see what happens to them. I've been holed up in my house for nine months, and worn a mask on the rare occasions I do go anywhere, I can deal with a few more months.

Yeah, front line workers getting it first is a blessing and a curse. Obviously we need them and want them safe but the side affects are for the most part still a mystery and they’ll experience them first

If it inoculates me from a potentially fatal disease, it's worth the side effects.

Ohio is supposed to be getting it's first shipment around Dec. 15.

The one thing good about that is that they are more likely to report side effects accurately. They were just talking on the news today about how important it is that people get both doses, and too many people may decide not to get the second dose if they have even mild side effects from the first. One thing the folks planning the distribution are hoping is that doctors and nurses, if they have only mild side effects - or none - will help people to understand how important the 2nd dose is.

You have to take two doses? Wow I did not know that

Yes. All the vaccines developed so far require two doses, usually 28 days apart. It has something to do with the new method they are using to create the vaccines.
