gollark: It isn't that high. You're a relatively young person presumably, and you aren't certain to get COVID-19 anyway.
gollark: Well, it does use similar technology to the AstraZeneca one, which apparently has similar problems.
gollark: They apparently have mandatory vaccination for basically everything else, but the COVID-19 ones are only approved under emergency use authorizations right now.
gollark: Apparently the UK has 47.6% first-dose-or-more vaccine coverage, which is surprisingly competent of the government.
gollark: Not exactly, since nonvaccination affects other people a lot too and antivaxxerness isn't a genetic thing.
