I am having AZ Saturday week. My husband is having his at the same time for moral support lol!
The reason it has been so quick is that the framework for the vaccine was already in place and it was easier to get it through the various clinical trials stages because of demand and also ,because we were mid pandemic so there were plenty of people to test it on.
With regard to side effects, the risk of clotting is much less than the pill. I will be alert to any side effects and seek appropriate help. The more corona in the community there is , the more chance of variants forming and escaping. That’s why it is important to get as many shots in arms as possible.
There will be many more vaccines to come for covid. There is an insane yet reassuring number currently in development. Of course the second and third wave will probably be better , this usually happens in vaccine development. Down the track and probably fairly soon, this is something to look forward to. In the meantime, I will have AZ. Winter is coming . If it’s good enough for Norman swan, it’s good enough for me :)
