I just heard from a close friend that AstraZeneca vaccines will be administered to senior citizens in Quezon City, Philippines. Regardless, I am not sure if all of them wanted to be injected. The good thing is that they have the vaccines now. We are too far from this place. No idea when will these vaccines touch down in my city. Are you having some doubts about these vaccines? Are you willing to be injected? Image Credit: content.thriveglobal.com

I agree. My mother is thinking about it. I think these vaccines are from the UK. It is far better than Chinese vaccines.

@rakski Based on what some of my Chinese students are uttering about. Most of the cities and provinces are locked down in China now.

My answer, Hell No! I have no plans to be injected with anything. I would rather take my chances with the virus itself. If it kills me... oh well.... If someone's THAT worried about being infected, they can live in a bubble. I won't stop living just because they're scared.

I think that is not true since we still do not have one vaccine available here in Metro Manila. They are just simulating the delivery of it from Airport to the storage facilities but there are no vaccines that have arrive yet. Our company started doing surveys about who are willing to have the vaccine. I already said yes, I think being a survivor of that virus I need to be protected further from getting it again. My sister abroad had Pfizer already and so far she is doing good.

@Shavkat None of the vaccines have arrived yet and the government is still doing simulation on the routes to make the delivery smooth since it needed to be stored in a constant temperature always. I did have immunity to the virus but doc said that it doesn’t last long they say 3 mos the most that they can stay in my body

@rsa101 I got it. You definitely need to be vaccinated with it. I agree that they need to practice to make it organized.

I think you have the anti-body against this virus. The good thing is that your company is going to shoulder it. Am I on the right point? It seems that my friend is not sure about it, too. Even here in my city, we do not have any news of what vaccines they ordered. Let's see how my mayor will distribute these vaccines. I am not that confident if it will be given fairly.

I'd be willing to take the vaccine, but I'd be low on the list, I'm sure.

Same thing here. It is only my mother who is qualified since senior citizens are second on the priority list.

I don't know what or how to feel. We will have the vaccines administered soon in the office but no update yet.

I don't think I wanted the injection and then it all went dark.

AstraZeneca to seniors???? Are they crazy, the company warned NOT TO GIVE the vaccine to over 65, it is dangerous for seniors.

@LadyDuck Now, I am aware of it. The sad part is that there are no vaccines for kiddies.

@Shavkat The AstraZeneca vaccine should not be inject to people over 65, they have NO DATA to confirm that it is safe for people over 65. The minimum age for ALL the existing vaccine is 16.

I saw our Vice-Governor on FB this morning and, personally, he prefers AstraZeneca. He says Pfizer is another preference but transport and storage is difficult. He is a doctor of medicine in Manila but gave up the practice to go into politics like his late father who was a doctor too.

I cannot think straight more about the vaccines. There is so much bad feedback, and I cannot digest if they are really good or not for our bodies.

@Shavkat I saw a priest on video who explained about vaccines very clearly as he heard it from an expert on the matter invited by the CBCP to explain to the bishops about the vaccine. Tell me if you want to see it and I will look for the link and give it to you.

I think it is a good idea to have them. I hope we can have these vaccines soon. I am sure my mom will be the first one to be vaccinated.
