Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 16, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 16, 2020 Necessity is the mother of invention. Good news. https://www.foxnews.com/health/how-close-are-we-to-a-vaccine Containment measures are being implemented in the U.S. and throughout the globe to limit the spread of coronavirus, but only a vaccine can prevent people from getting sick from the virus. Roughly 35 companies and academic institutions are rushing to create a vaccine and at least four have tested it on animals. Moderna, a biotech company in Massachusetts, has already shipped the first batches of its COVID-19 vaccine to the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. It was said to be ready for human trials in April, but the first patient will receive an experimental dose on Monday, a government official said.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted March 16, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm finding it tough to believe they have a vaccine so soon. I mean I sure hope they do but it seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the symptoms are a dry throat and/or cough and possible fever with the sniffles. This is rare in the winter time.....plus, just because you aren’t showing symptoms doesn’t mean you don’t have it! How much is this vaccine for fear gonna cost again?

I'd still get the vaccine today if it was available......wouldn't you? My concern is my oldest son. Both my kids have asthma as do my wife and I however every cold or flu he gets ends up in his chest. If I get it and its bad I've lived a amazing life....he's only 23 and my youngest is 20. Those of us with pre-existing conditions need to have a bit more concern. Edited March 16, 2020 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to get a mild cough, headache or occasion sneeze every so often.. I may have had the actual flu maybe 3-4 times in my life. I'm going to die of old injuries..or blunt force new one...not sickness. That said, my wife is a bit less immune and still gets a flu shot. She'd get this vaccine too. I wonder of my daughter would? What's the over/under it will be made mandatory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
