I will start this by saying I’m an avid pro-vaxxer and I was ecstatic to hear that 1 million 25-29 year olds booked in for their jabs on the first day they could (more than on any other day). Today there was a huge queue for vaccinations at a pop up clinic in Sheffield - most people waiting seemed in their 20s. People were saying they were very excited and couldn’t wait for the vaccine.
But I am also very surprised they did. I was expecting healthy 25 year olds to be more relaxed about covid purely based on morbidity/hospitalisation stats - and they are presumably one of the age groups already socialising a lot. Also there’s no talk yet of vaccine passports or vaccines being needed for domestic events.
I’m mid 30s and have generally been more concerned about covid from a personal perspective than my close friends and so I was very grateful and excited for the jab - many of my friends less so as they feel it’s a duty.
Please could someone let me know why they think 25-29 year olds were so keen on being vaccinated - keener than other age groups it seems. I like to think it’s because of altruistic reasons - that would be very heartwarming
thanks
