Certainly, I'll maintain all safe guidelines and behaviors in the weeks ahead while all feedback on side-effects and more are released.<br /><br />Amazed that you received a notification on your swab test. Each time I go for a test (which is every two weeks) I have to chase my medical group for information. The heck with no news being good news...if I have to go through these procedures, I'd like results given in a reasonable time frame.<br /><br />Hopefully, we will see positive movement towards the end of this virus in the year ahead.<br /><br />Stay safe!Anonymoushttps://anothercookieplease.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-42688279336449410612020-12-05T02:27:29.547-07:002020-12-05T02:27:29.547-07:00Yeah they are rolling out the vaccine here in the ...Yeah they are rolling out the vaccine here in the UK too. First people that are receiving it are the elderly, and health care workers, I reckon I'll get it next Spring.I'm hoping by then I may not need it! But there are many people who are not going to have it.

My neighbor's...Abby, glad you are still fine!! My neighbor's parents were visiting a month ago. They both were in the Pfister trials. They had no side effects. Still being monitored and they have the antibodies. They felt excited by the trial thus far. All in all they said it was an all encompassing trial and they are always being monitored and hovering over them. But they said while it was a bit much but they also understood. They were told they had the real thing and they have been monitored like a hawk from the start. They had nothing but positives to say. Now let's just see if it works. I had so many vaccines as a kid. I wonder who did all that research for all of mine? it's scary not to get one, it's scary to get one. But for me covid scares me more. I just don't know. All I know is 2020 sucks. I just know I would never have volunteered to do the trial and I thank them for doing it for us all.

I just assume not go anywhere that will require me to wear them for a long time...but you don't really have that option at work. I was hoping to get it out of the way and be an asymptomatic superhuman as well...I think part of the anxiety caused by this virus is the unkown of exactly what kind of havoc it will wreak in our households. I hate it!KatBouskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556451375792958743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-15103060764252542182020-12-03T15:52:22.131-07:002020-12-03T15:52:22.131-07:00Linda Sue, naturally, I don't look forward to ...Linda Sue, naturally, I don't look forward to side effects, but if I felt nothing afterward, I might feel it wasn't doing anything. Can't win. <br />Stay and stay!<br /><br />John, I hear ya. Might have a long wait!<br /><br />Brian, I was thinking the same as I've had the two hits of Shingrix and definitely felt the effects, but didn't really mind - hung out like a cat for a day.

I was told this by the person interviewing me for my participation in the local J&J Covid clinical trial starting in 3 weeks here.<br /><br />My Shingrix experience was similar to but perhaps a wee bit milder than what Linda Sue described above. I am hoping that I get the real juice in this trial and not the placebo. I may be in a slightly higher risk group (60+, diabetes, blood pressure) but I don't think I'll be offered anything else till at least March, probably later.Brianhttp://bikinfool.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-56489949796547337672020-12-03T12:33:46.068-07:002020-12-03T12:33:46.068-07:00I don't plan on getting the vaccine until I...I don't plan on getting the vaccine until I'm sure it won't kill me.
