is the vaccine even worth getting or only for high risk groups?

  Honestly? I think if you're not sure, you probably don't need it. I'm young, work from home, healthy. I have friends who are nurses -- they yearn for a vaccine. My grandparents and my parents know that they are at risk and would line up for one. I have a friend with diabetes who would feel like his life was back. I'd gladly take a vaccine if it became available -- would love to not worry about giving it to my parents, and contribute to herd immunity -- but for me personally the virus has never really scared me on a personal health level.

    Worry about the old, the frail, the immunosuppressed. Vaccines only work if a high enough proportion of the entire population get them. Obviously the vulnerable will get it first - but please don’t skip it just because you’re young and strong.

      Oh, I have no intention of skipping the vaccine (you can see if you read my comment to the end). I was commenting more on the desire to get a vaccine early.
