No to Chinese Vaccines: Oops!

It is really mind-blogging. My mother is still not decided yet. She is scared that things will go wrong.

@LadyDuck As of now, we are still waiting for these vaccines. I am not sure which one will come first in my country.

@Shavkat Side effects are not uncommon, we are free to decide if to take the vaccine or not. I will decide when they let me know that it is available for my age bracket.

@CarolDM I am hoping for that. Thank you.

At first, my family and I wanted to have them. Now, we are really torn between the safe or not.

@Shavkat You will make the right decision in time.

@Shavkat I am not quite sure on this whether we have a choice to refuse.

So far, it is not mandatory here. How about in your country?

@allknowing I heard that in Indonesia that it is mandatory.

I do not trust what they have formulated @Shavkat The same goes for flu shots, I got one once years ago and got really really sick afterwards, I will not take that risk again.

@rebelann I understand where it is coming from. We are also feeling differently about it now.

Can I ask why? I am sure a lot of people do not want to have these vaccines.

@Shavkat I hope so too. They still need to be careful after the vaccine, even though they will be protected , they can still transmit the virus to others.

@besweet I agree. I read an article that we still need to use face masks and shields after being vaccinated.

I think Pfizer is the best option. I hope they will be fine after being vaccinated.

It seems that we are still waiting for these branded vaccines. We cannot choose which one is the best for everyone.

@MarshaMusselman We are also hoping that there will be no side effects.

@Shavkat there may not be only one that ends up being the best for everyone. We have to believe for the best outcome whichever one we get.

@Shavkat I share the same sentiments.

It is not a good choice of vaccines from this country. We all know that they started this virus and can never tell if the vaccines are genuine.

@allen0187

I do agree that if it is time, then we can not do anything about it.

@Shavkat That's what you should aim for. Be as informed and educated as possible. Don't be afraid to say 'no' until you understand it.

@kaylachan You are right. I need to take my time with this matter.

I am not sure how can we handle this scenario for now. I hope we can have more information about it.

I can feel that the doctors will ask for swab tests on people here. It will be additional expenses for the locals.

I agree. That's the reason why we cannot say further with the barangay officials.

@Shavkat yes, I agree

I personally think that the experts cannot explain side effects.

@Shavkat ya that's true. Take care

Actually, my mom is freaking out about what will happen if she received it.

I cannot blame you. I hope it will not be mandatory to have them there. What if it happens?

@Shavkat According to the constitution of my country, that is impossible. It takes a long time to change the constitution and believe me, they already have enough problems on the streets from dissatisfied citizens that another problem does not occur to them. Only on January 1, 200,000 people lost their jobs ... there are frequent demonstrations, from the union of postal workers, through freelancers... they are rude but they are not so crazy as to make an even bigger problem because there are really a lot of people here against vaccination with these untested vaccines. And as for the countries in the region, where proof of vaccination is mandatory, I simply will not go there ... border test yes, vaccination no, very clear
