This week the first vaccines for Coronavirus were administered in the United States.
In many venues it has been heralded as the beginning of the end of the worldwide pandemic, while others remain skeptical and more said they will never take a vaccine.
As with everything surrounding COVID-19 the vaccine has become politicized, following in the footsteps of masks and social distancing. We offered a Facebook question to our readers asking: Will you take a COVID-19 vaccine and what are your reasons for the answer?
There were more than 170 comments that covered the full spectrum of concerns. Many of the comments did not state whether or not they would take the vaccine. There was almost an even split with 49 no answers and 35 yes, and six considered to be neutral.
The primary negative reasons centered on concerns about the vaccines being developed too quickly, while others compared it to a flu vaccine that may or may not work. There also were some who were somewhat neutral stating they wanted to wait until there was more research done.
This story includes just a sampling of the comments. We appreciate those who took the time to discuss such an important issue.
