Getting a bit annoyed this morning reading comments from people who'll either refuse to be vaccinated or wish to wait and see. One of my best mates is in the refuse camp and so we won't be holidaying together as families in the future unless he changes that stance.

Thoughts from the forum please ?

I can understand why there's hesitancy from some. The vaccines have been produced/tested/rolled out in around 1/10th of the time it usually takes so I think a lot of people want to wait and see if there are any side effects etc. That said, if you're in an at risk group, then pretty much any side effect is going to be more tolerable that getting Covid.

For me personally, and luckily, I'm healthy enough and still in the age bracket where I won't be offered one for probably 6 months at least anyway, so I've got the luxury of waiting and seeing how it all pans out. That said, even though I'm healthy, I'm still aware that I could catch the virus, be asymptomatic and pass it on to somebody vulnerable. So for that reason I will be getting vaccinated as soon as it's offered to me.

I've got a mate, who's 15 years younger than me, as fit as a butcher's dog, but who has a family history of vaccine complications. So he has good reason not to want to get one. So like others have said, it comes down to personal choice. Although it will take around 80% of the population to get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, so I hope that those who can have, will do and thereby offer protection to those who can't

The 5G/Anti lockdown crew can ****ing do one imo. They are the ones refusing a vaccine because of bullshit they've read on 4Chan, but they are also the ones who will benefit from everybody else having a vaccine which will open up society again and end the lockdowns. For me, these selfish ****s offer society nothing. They want their personal freedoms, but aren't willing to engage in a vaccination programme that will enable the vulnerable and everybody else to have theirs, so **** em.

It seems that exactly the same people who are crying their eyes out about the lockdown, are also adamant they won’t take the vaccine. Go figure. Bill Gates or something probably.

As for the general populous, personal choice I suppose. I can understand why some would be dubious of such a quickly developed vaccine, but it’s about balancing risk imo. If you’re in a risk group or elderly you’d be plain daft not to have it imo.

That's pretty much where I'm at as I've said before. As someone who's not at any increased risk of the virus then I'm willing to wait it out and see how it goes. It'd be very different if I was in a high risk category though. At a guess I'll be offered it come Spring.

Anyone who says they're not taking it cos of Bill Gates is probably best off shot in the face tbh.

I'm in no rush, said a couple of days ago that I'm unlikely to be top of the list or front of the queue so that's a moot point for now.
If it helps those especially vulnerable, go for it.

It'll definitely feel a bit big brother if we're forced to take it though. Can't help thinking that.

Still fancy a winter holiday mind, and if it was a condition of being able to leave the country and not have to quarantine coming back, I probably would.
If it was available to me.

No one will be forced to take it mate. That won’t happen.

Those who choose not to take it might come across issues accessing other countries much further down the line, but that’s merely conjecture on my part.

I think initially, it will be a prerequisite for international travel, to prove you’ve had a vaccine.

It'll be interesting to see how many countries take that approach. I think a fair few will next year and the one after but it will slowly fade away after that.

Was thinking more to travel, yes.

We'll see how it pans out I guess, fairly sure they won't have been able to vaccinate everyone by next summer for instance.

And that most countries will be more interested in having visitors than in preventing people from coming in.
