If you had decided not to have the AZ vaccination, has the Indian variant changed your mind?

Or if you’d decided not to have your 2nd dose are you now going to go ahead and get it? Because it’s looking like the only way we’re getting out of this is for everybody who possibly can to get fully vaccinated.
Seeing all the people on the news this morning in Bolton who’ve been eligible for a vaccination for for months but for whatever reason haven’t bothered (apparently there’s 10,000 in Bolton alone) has really surprised me. Now they’ve realised they’re at risk they’re all rushing to get done. Bit late though and potentially this surge of cases could have been avoided.

People might be more willing to have it if they were promised and GIVEN support IF something did go wrong. NHS workers who had to have the swine flu vaccine and had a bad reaction were just left to get on with it. This wasnt that long ago and people have long memories. Plus we also live in a country that makes people constantly have to jump through hoops for their disability benefits and prove their disabilities and illnesses over and over again. I wonder how many times those NHS workers have had to do that.

It doesn't matter if you have 2 doses of vaccine and a 3rd booster, you will still get the virus and can still pass it on so whats the point. They will vaccinate everyone who is willing to have it and lock downs will still happen!

I would take it if I was guaranteed income for the rest of my working life to support me and my family if I react

Which, given the risk is “vanishingly low” (apparently) isn’t too much of an ask is it?
