Would you get the Moderna covid vaccine?

After reports of dangerous blood clots in some recipients, 10 European nations have paused the vaccine's rollout, including some of the biggest: Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

I would carefully consider the benefits versus the side effects.  The vaccines were developed at record speed and are currently being used under emergency authorization.  Phase 3 safety trials aren't due to be completed until May 27, 2022 for the AstraZeneca vaccine as an example.  Moderna isn't due to be completed until October 27, 2022!

Also keep in mind the new technology that is being used does not have the same sort of history as traditional vaccines.  This is not like a typical flu vaccine and thus carries more unknowns. 

You may wish to be patient and see if there are more adverse side effects are more people are vaccinated.  You can take other precautions to help protect those who you are helping at your work place.  Or if you feel comfortable go ahead and take the vaccine depending on your comfort level with the current information we have on the virus and its variants as well as the vaccines available.

Fortunately, your parents had you vaccinated against tetanus, diphtheria. measles and whooping cough before you were old enough to be this stupid. I grew up before those vaccines- and I had several of those diseases. it was not fun, and there were many who didn't survive. I remember getting the polio vaccine- you didn't have to because enough of us got vaccinated to eliminate the disease in the US. You are being offered a gift- I've been vaccinated against COVID and I can't even describe the relief to know that I can go to stores and restaurants without being fearful of everything I tough. Scientists have spent the last 20 years developing this type of vaccine against this type of virus- ever since the SARS outbreak in 2001-2002. It's perfectly safe. Hundreds of thousands of people have now had it. WHY would you NOT get it???????

I am signed up with my state's C19 vaccination waiting list. I will likely take whatever vaccine is offered, but haven't really thought about it. And who knows how long it will be until I get it.

Name one other medicine that was approved for injection into the human body in less than a year without clinical tests of its long term affects.  YOU CAN'T!!  That should tell you everything you need to know about how "safe" it will be in about five or ten years when babies are being born with three eyes, two ears on the same side of their head or who knows what other defects.

DCM5150, tell us the long term affects of these vaccines.  What symptoms can we expect to see in 2 years?  Five years?  Ten years?  Where can i read the long term studies that were written for EVERY other drug in the last 75 years?

Absolutely. Because vaccines save lives. It's not just about yourself. We need as many people as possible to be vaccinated. It doesn't matter how often you go out. It is the helpful for sickness.

Edit:  There is no evidence that the AstraZeneca vaccine causes blood clots and the majority of countries that paused it's use have now resumed. 

The vaccine was able to be developed so quickly because of years of previous work developing mRNA vaccines and decades of coronavirus research was already there. It took Moderna only two days to design their covid-19 vaccine, the rest of the time was efficacy and safety testing. Ignore the baseless fear-mongering. 

I thought I was going to get the Pfizer and they ran out by the time I qualified.  I had my first shot of the Moderna a week ago.  No side effects whatsoever, just a bit of a sore upper arm for three days.  Not sore enough to bother me and no big deal.  The way I see it, it is just a matter of time before all those not vaccinated get covid, and in the U.S., it will likely be the UK or the African strain (down the road) which are quickly overtaking the prior strains.  They are more deadly and more contagious.  As of January 2021, more than 25 million in the U.S. have been sick with COVID-19. Since January 2020, more than 400,000 have died from the virus.   More than 80 million doses have been given, roughly 40 million fully vaccinated.  Few have contracted covid after the shots and those who have, have only experienced only very mild symptoms. Only 55 have died from the vaccine.  Smallpox, polio, and rabies (gotta get the shots soon after infection) have been eradicated, and the flu for many.  Diphtheria, bacterial influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus, among others have been nearly eradicated by vaccines.

Yes, I would get any of the 3 vaccines that are approved in the US right now. I have an appointment this Saturday to get a vaccine, and I'm going to go get it, but I won't know ahead of time which brand of vaccine it is.

I wouldn't work at a senior home unless they covered my medical fully. I wouldn't get the vaccine either. But that is me, I don't trust it. 

I would get it. I'm not sure why you wouldn't, but that is your right.
