I happen to work at a hospital and have been getting reminders to schedule my covid vaccination which I've been ignoring as it is not mandatory.
Many of my colleagues ie those who work in the ED, ICU and areas with high exposure already got the vaccine. While I'm not patient-facing like they are, I am in contact with those who are. However, I remain hesitant for all reasons mentioned already.
They say the vaccine would not prevent contracting the virus. It would just minimize symptoms and death. What I've been doing thus far has been working so I will continue on that course for now.
As far as who it is being made available to and how it is being rolled out/prioritized is a whole other political discussion though.
