Yes. As soon as I am eligible.
I’m 42 and healthy but have a pre existing respiratory condition. Poll was closed, but I’m getting it as soon as eligible. I believe I fall into group 1c of vaccine distribution priority because of my pre existing condition. Also, I think appraisers are considered to be “essential workers”, but not on the same level as health workers or front line workers. We do help to keep the wheels of our financial system rolling.I voted "I don't know yet" (I'll be 40 in Feb - semi decent health/could stand to lose a few lbs; always had good immune system)
Hopefully this is the worst of it for you. It hits everybody different.Oh well, I don't have to make the decision now, I have it. Doctor said I should have anti-bodies for 3-6 months or so, but everyone is just really guessing.
My wife tested positive 12/24. I started to feel like a head cold over the weekend, lost smell Monday morning. Odd mix of symptoms. I have the chills right now, haven't had those until now. Mostly sinus issues, nasal drip with a cough and mild headache but not a sore throat, mild muscle aches come and go. My wife's symptoms were heavy congestion and cough, at first they thought she may have had bronchitis.
My nephew's wife is a nurse at the VA. She got the shot before Christmas and was sick for the next 2 days. She is dreading the follow up. Having said that, her father got Covid pneumonia and tried to ignore it, got really sick and ended up with blood clots on his lungs. His oxygen has not recovered and doctors told him he was lucky to not have died (he's 70) and he is carrying an oxygen bottle. Overweight too, he is in real danger of having a heart attack from this.I'm ready right now! Already get flu, pneumonia, and shingles shots...what's one more?
Thanks really appreciate the thoughts. I’m running 101.2 with chills and aches, but strangely enough almost no cough, congestion, and no headache. Maybe the fever masks all of that. Game plan is take some OTC and set my alarm to ring every 2 hours to monitor, drink water and walk around. Hopefully this works out better than my Fantasy Team management.Hopefully this is the worst of it for you. It hits everybody different.
What they fail to consider. Is that at the present time. The vaccine is actually being given piecemeal. It is spread out over a large number of locations that are only vaccinating specific relatively small groups. Not very effecient. The rate of vaccination should increase substantially. Once the size of the eligible groups increase.Operation Warp Speed at a crawl: Adequately vaccinating Americans will take 10 years at current pace

At current rate, it'll be 10 years before Americans adequately vaccinated against Covid
