Not sure how that affects my viewpoint on the vaccine yet. If it was universally seen as safe, I'd have no problems with it. However, the fact is, many knowledgeable doctors and agencies have reservations about the vaccine.

I'd consider myself low risk anyway, so I wouldn't get the vaccine right away anyways.
I work in the medical field (got to skip the line for the vaccine ), and I have yet to encounter any medical agency or medical doctor of significant authority that has reservations regarding the vaccine. The medical community is in complete agreement (to my knowledge) as to the safety and need for this vaccination. I would be interested to hear what specific agencies or physicians disagree.
