    But you'll get what you vote for.

    How much will you be happy to pay for the jab?
    How much extra would you pay for the jab for it to come from a suitably qualified nurse?

    Yes by end of the 2021 there will be very very good short term data on it. Long term might take decades though who knows. Especially if incidence of whatever issues are relatively low.
