To Vaccine or Pass.....

As soon as the vaccines were out, I was planning on getting one (or two doses) and would sign up as soon as I was in the right phase.

 

The other day had an in-depth conversation with a friend about the vaccine, and in end the my friend who has all kinds of underlying conditions has opted NOT to get the vaccine ever.

 

This was heart-breaking as I lost a good friend/contractor/past client back in January, and still think of him, and just saddens me.    I sure would not want to lose her too to COVID, but that is her decision.

 

As an adult, have NEVER had a shot, but being in a business around people all the time, I figure it is probably a good idea, especially as I am getting older.

 

Are you planning to get the vaccine?    Or Pass?

Getting my second shot next Saturday, Joan. Outside of a sore arm for two days, no issues after the first vaccination. What might help your friend is that when more of us are vaccinated and we develop herd immunity, she might not be as exposed to the virus as we have been this past year.

I think that everyone should respect a persons decision on whether or not to get the fauci ouchie.  It truly is sad that there is so much misinformation out there these days that makes it difficult to even know what is right or wrong.

Debe, there is a lot of misinformation out there, and people buy into it.

Richard, I am still more comfortable wearing a mask too, but it is still a mandate here anyway.

Nina, it was just achy during the day, different story sleeping last night.  I am a side sleeper, and a rough night.  Should have taken something....

Brian, I just don't to have to attend her funeral, but understand it is definitely her decision.

It is a foolish decision to pass on the vaccination opportunities. 

Dolores and I got our second Moderna vaccination on St. Patrick's Day.

Roy, so glad you are fully vaccinated and know many have different thoughts on vaccination.

Hi Joan, 

Rick and I are fully (Covid) vaccinated.  About 5 years ago when Tristan was born, we made a commitment to get up-to-date on all our vaccinations especially flu shots.  We did not want to ever think of giving some virus to Tristan.  

In Arizona, Anyone age 16 and up can sign up for a COVID vaccination.  Our state is now open and it is up to business owners to make a decision on whether they want to enforce a mask mandate or not.  We are all adults and should make decisions based on what we feel is right for us.  I will follow business guidelines and individually respect the wishes of others I am visiting or working with.

Sheri, glad to hear you both have been vaccinated, and safe being around Tristan!   Interesting your mask mandate was lifted too.

Joan,

I feel that we should respect people choices regardless of what common belief is,  And that is what matters most--no judgments and no making someone wrong.  A

Great question Joan, and I appreciate you asking. I am not yet eligible but my group is coming up fast. I am hopeful to get on the appointment list in a couple of weeks and get vaccinated before April is over. 

 

To me it is a no-brainer. I am the sole parent of 2 children with zero family members nearby. The thought of something happening - let alone Covid - is a frightening one. Thus, I take any and every precaution I can. That includes watching what I put into my body foodwise, maintaining an exercise schedule, taking personal & professional safety seriously, and getting vaccinated. 

 

The Pfizer vaccine was developed by the German company BioNTech and based on already established mRNA-techology. I may be a little bit biased here, but know how rigorous the laws are. Thus, I trust.

The choice is with each individual, but sure hope most get this vaccine.

Got my first shot and looking forward to the second shot in a few more weeks.  I think they did a great job of developing the vaccines in record time.

Hi Joan, missed this the first time around. We all are fully vaccinated. I too wish more people would opt in - however, as you mention, it's a personal decision. Doesn't mean I understand the reasoning. Anything we can do to stop spreading dangerous viruses makes sense.
