[QUOTE="Catlady19, post: 2332922, member: 135231"] The vaccines have been very quickly produced but most of the normal procedures in getting a vaccine tested and authorised have been pushed through a lot faster than normal because of the pandemic, people/companies have been collaborating more than they normally would and it has also had a lot of funding thrown at it. That doesn't mean that it has not been tested thoroughly or safety measures have been ignored. The whole world is watching (and potentially wanting to purchase a vaccine) and I don't think they will be likely to release something dangerous in these circumstances. Whilst we do not know possible long term issues, most vaccines of this kind (I have read) tend to display any side effects sooner rather than later. Personally I do not see this vaccine as any different to the flu vaccine and luckily I only get mild side effects (sore arm, mild fever). I think ultimately everyone has to be as informed as possible about possible side effects, the vaccine ingredients, etc and then take a personal view on whether you think the vaccine or Covid is more a danger for you personally.
