Assuming multiple government and independent groups endorse a vaccine candidate(s) will you get it?
Right away? After a while? Never?
I was curious, because I haven't really given it much thought yet, what others were thinking about this.
I thought about it because my employer sent out an anonymous survey today. We are based out of an essential, difficult to fully social distance large facility which depending on the timing of an authorization could be prioritized just below hospitals. Although I generally work remotely or in an isolated area, I won't be able to as much very soon due to the scope of our organizations upcoming operations. If one gets approved in the next couple weeks (which seems virtually impossible) I may be offered. Later in October or into November we will drop in priority but still be close to the top of it's before Black Friday.
Edit: Now that I'm remembering that it will most likely be a two dose vaccine, I may not be prioritized unless the first dose does have a significant reduction of risk immediately. I'll probably wait until it's been made available to all hospital, police, fire/Em's, prison staff and inmates, nursing homes and other high priority and high risk groups. I'm pro vaccine, but being a healthy 30's guy with a general ability to social distance I'll probably wait until it's widely available and no higher risk groups are waiting still.
