After learning more about the vaccine, the

overall likelihood of taking it does not shift.

Here is some information on the COVID-19 vaccine. There are currently several vaccines undergoing
approval from the U.S. government for distribution. They are said to be 95% effective and have
undergone multiple phases of testing, including trials on tens of thousands of people. The Food and
Drug Administration, also known as the FDA, is currently reviewing the vaccines and conducting
studies to make sure they are safe. Once the vaccines are approved by the FDA, they will be
distributed throughout the country. It is likely that essential workers and those most vulnerable to
illness caused by COVID-19 will be the first to receive the vaccine.
