I've seen polls say that roughly 50% of population will get a vaccine. By the time vaccines are available to me - next spring or summer - this pandemic will effectively be over. If the chances of reinfection are already rare (or possibly non-existent), and we will have reached herd immunity, and a large portion of the population is going to get a vaccine, then my chances of becoming reinfected are next to nil, if not nil! So don't worry, you won't get the Covid from me....

Seems odd to tout the greatness of Trump in regards to him getting a vaccine done that you won't even take.

Also I have had a patient who has had in twice 8 months apart.

Also where in the world have you seen we will be at herd immunity next month?

The vaccine should be for the 1% at Risk. Why on earth would I take a vaccine? Take care of the ones at risk, trump and all presidents should be applauded and for that.

Just so I’m on the same page. You think everyone should get this vaccine? Does that include children?

You understand the following right?:

1. Some of the most at risk can't get the vaccine (like those with immunodeficiencies) and will rely on those around them having them.
2. That even those without risk factors can have end up with serious complications if they get COVID.
