You should be compelled at some point. If you work at the DMV or any public facing part of the state government then your decision could infect others citizens that must use and interface with those state government services. Its not your choice and remain in that job.
Thats going to be the minimum. State/Local/Federal are going to require the vaccine. I can easily see businesses that physically reopen making proof of receiving a vaccine a condition of hiring. Bars/Restaurants advertising all staff has received the vaccine etc.

That ship has sailed. If you use social media, they already know everything about you. Even if you only use this site, I'd bet money that I could throw all your posts into an A.I. and determine way more about you than you realized. That barn door is not being closed. [Reply]
I’ll be one of the first it’s offered to in healthcare, our rehab opted in the receive the vaccine early and I’ll gladly accept it.
This vaccine makeup is very safe. We know much about previous SARS and so it’s not like vaccine makers are starting from scratch. Drop the conspiracy bullshit if it’s above your reading level. [Reply]
Yes, I'll take it at some point, but where I fall in terms of age probably would make me fall in a group that receives the vaccine later than most whenever it is widely available.
I wouldn't get it initially when it's available just given my skepticism that big pharma rushed to make a vaccine in months as opposed to a year +, though that could say more about how it incredible of a scientific discovery the vaccine is than monetary interests. [Reply]

Pretty good. We were as busy as I've ever been from Mid May when we opened back up until about 2 weeks ago. I'm still busy but hygiene is in the period six months after the time we were shut down so it's a bit slower. We are booked back up starting in December again though. Wearing gowns, surgical cap and face shield. Feel pretty safe. How about you? [Reply]

LOL, basically the exact same. We did some things with reactivating patients and such to fill last month and this month, so it hasn't been too bad. I took some time off the end of October, since the shut down it had been pretty wild.
Washable gowns, n95 with a level 3 surgical mask over it, face shield and surgical caps for us.
Had alot of problems with hygienist coming back early. Had to let a few go who refused to come back and work because they didn't feel safe. Weirdly they felt more safe to go back to other offices and work once unemployment ran out. But thats a different subject. [Reply]

Funny, we had the exact same thing. Had two hygienists that never came back. Oh well. We were just busier with the ones that stayed. [Reply]
Individuals have been subject to compensation for injury due to vaccination for over thirty years and every vaccine dose is subject to an excise tax to fund that program, even though the overwhelming majority of funded claims don't even have merit. [Reply]

I tooks the vaccine and all of a sudden I'm going balds!!! URR FAULT!
I THINK I AM NOW A AUTOSTICK PERSON BCUZ IF VAXXINE. i get very agitated when i turn on televission to watch newz and can not longer concenterate!
I won't be first in line since I am not in a high risk category so, I'll continue to social distance, wear a mask etc. and when it is readily available for the general public I will get one. There are people who will need this vaccine way before I do [Reply]
I haven't been suitably terrified for the last 8 months and not going to start now. I'll let the 1st responders and high risk groups who want it go first then after the smoke has cleared I'll look into it. Not scared of the vaccine but not scared of Covid either. [Reply]

With this being what it is, I'd think a company like Pfizer would be hesitant to put anything out that would that severely hurt their company financially. [Reply]
