Yep, we'll be up soon!

Last week both me and my wife had our first jabs, both on separate days.
We both noticed that the majority of people having the jab seemed to be foreign nationals. Apparently there was only the AZ jab on offer and it seems that a lot of local people don't want it and are waiting for the other types to arrive, some don't want it at all and I think that is the reason why they are getting through the age groups quicker than expected

I am not surprised given the amount of negative media regarding certain shots. Social media is rife with vociferous anti vaxxers.

I'm not surprised - not just ''vociferous anti vaxxers'' but various countries suspending one or other vaccine at different times in order to investigate health related concerns.

As for the vulnerable groups, just the very fact they are vulnerable means their health issues have to be taken into deeper consideration than a healthy individual especially with regards to potential side effects.

I spoke to a couple of elderly cypriots recently, and they are not getting the jab, main reason being they have lived up to now without them, they dont need them now, even their family is pushing them to get the jabs, are they foolish not to have them? their choice, they have never heard of anti vaxxers.
