I have friends who have been vaccinated because they want it, who have been vaccinated because their job requires it, and who (like me) are not against the idea of vaccination, per-se, but who are waiting for a safer and more effective choice. In my case, the Novavax will be available in Japan either late this year or early next year, so I’ll continue to maintain social distancing and use other precautions until then.
I agree with you that people should be allowed to make their own choices regarding what precautions or measures they take.
If the USA doesn’t approve Novavax soon, I’ll be hopping a plane to Japan so I can get the Novavax vaccine.
