Schools are going to reopen after Easter and all teachers and schools staff will take the vaccine until then. My husband is a teacher and he took his first dose today. He received AstraZeneca vaccine. So far so good, he has no side effects but we don't know later. Have you taken the vaccine yet?

With teachers and schools staff vaccinated it is safer to go back to school.

I’m glad your husband hasn’t had any side effects from the AstraZeneca vaccine. We have Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson here.

Yes, I've had both doses of the Moderna vaccine. The second shot made me very tired and I had a headache but those symptoms only lasted one day. Oh yes, a sore arm where they give you the shot too. Nice to know you've got protection and are resist to the disease

I did not register myself as a vaccine recipient, it is possible that the government lacks funds to be able to fulfill it because disasters always happen every day.

@May2k8 that is not fair, why "important" people first? Everyone should have the same rights and those that are in the risk group should take it first.
