The flu vaccination is very safe and there are plenty of social reasons to get it.
I get it every year and I'll be getting Covid vaccine for exactly the same reason.

Some people can be infected with the flu virus but have no symptoms. During this time, those people may still spread the virus to others.

I'm not planning on accepting a COVID vaccine.

Something which is guiding this decision, is.....

In past years, i have NEVER had a flu vaccination.

And in the last 30 years, i have never 'caught' the flu or winter colds.

If i never catch winter flu or colds, my immune system may be strong enough to protect me from COVID too.

Also in consideration, is that this COVID vaccine, is a completely new medical therapy.

And i don't want to be used as an uninformed guinea pig.

Jesus, this is real hard to say.

I agree 100% with Yadda.

I'd love to see TRUMP make a political comeback !!

Pushing it way too far ?

The first vaccine doses arrive in Australia on 22 feb so they have done well to get the vaccine 6 days before it even exists in this country.

I know two people who have had the COVID vaccine too.

I've heard it too. It might be the AstraZeneca vaccine

I'll check, Jack the Insider (who writes columns for Australian) said he had the Pfizer vaccine on twitter so I went on that. Having said that could have been a joke.

Watched QandA last night discussing the vaccines. Seems one lot has a higher protective percentage than another. That AstraZeneca seems less protective?

So I’m happy to wait at least a year before deciding.
In the meantime, I take care... as Yadda said... about making good decisions.
Sanitising, masks, distancing in public, eating fresh foods (better home cooked from scratch) drink plenty water without that fluoride, and take supplements. Oh and get plenty rest/sleep and moderate exercise/movement.
No smoking, and definitely minimal alcohol and cut the sugar intake.
How hard can that be

I know many are on prescriptions, but try not to allow yourself to get coerced into a bucketful of all sorts prescriptions.... question it and research it first. It horrified me when I was in hospital once, with hubby as he had a cast put on for fractured ankle....
I witnessed this younger woman than myself, having some weird panic anxiety attack... she was calmed with some medication... then I saw one of the ambo officers putting into a computer all her medications... OMG.... I could not believe how much there was...a basket load!
In a honesty... some doctors love to over prescribe and some people are not discerning enough... they themselves become prescription junkies! Maybe a touch of hypochondria there in the mix too?
Don’t get me wrong... some prescriptions are a godsend and lifesaver, but....nothing exceeds like excess.

India says Pfizer Covid vaccine not recommended for emergency use 'at this stage'

India's drug regulator committee on Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine says it noted side effects reported abroad and causality of events are being investigated
The committee also says Pfizer did not propose any plan to generate safety and immunogenicity data in Indian population

India's Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO)'s expert committee on Friday said that it does not recommend granting permission for emergency use authorization of Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine in the country "at this stage."

The CDSCO's Subject Expert Committee (SEC) noted that "incidents of palsy, anaphylaxis and other SAE’s have been reported during post-marketing and the causality of the events with the vaccine is being investigated."

Basically the INdians put up some hurdles, Pfizer didn't want to go through them
