Hello, today I will be talking about the new CoronaVirus vaccine and if your parents/grandparents should take this vaccine. So as we know recently the Pfizer vaccine was just recently authorized for use. There were over, “500,000 doses of the first coronavirus vaccine approved in the United States.”(Doyne). Not only that but around 2.9 million vaccine doses will be shipped to all 50 states. The big question is would you pressure friends/family to get this vaccine. A poll was taken to see if people would take the vaccine and, “found that 18 percent said that they would “definitely not” take the vaccine “if it were available today” and that 21 percent said that they would “probably not.”’(Doyne). Not only that, but even healthcare workers would not want to take the vaccine because of how new it is. They say they would want to say data and tests run on how effective it is then they will decide. Obviously taking the vaccine is voluntary but the real question is would you be anxious for your family members or yourself in fact to get the vaccine.
