Answer: Simon Collins

This is a good question – and sounds very reasonable. But within a week or two another 500,000 people will have used the vaccine in the UK.

Any serious concerns will be reported long before you are likely to be offered the vaccine.

If you want to interact with people, then waiting will be more risky than having the vaccine now. However, if you are okay leading a very isolated life, then waiting is a choice.

This is one of more than 65 questions about COVID vaccines. It was produced by and for people living with HIV.
