I will be having the vaccine as soon as it's offered and don't really understand why anyone would refuse something approved by the MHRA. I can only assume it's because they think any potential side-effects of the vaccine are likely to be worse than catching the virus but, while that's their prerogative, you'd surely have to be in a very low risk group to think like that?
However, whilst saying I'd have the vaccine, I'd also be under no illusions that I could still catch Covid and spread it. From what I understand the current evidence is that the vaccines prevent you developing severe symptoms but don't necessarily stop you catching the virus and being a carrier; there are suggestions they might do that as well but I'm not aware of any evidence confirming that to be the case?
