这一问题最终得由当事者自己做出回答。它是对好处和风险的一种个人掂量。是通过接种保护我自己和旁人、从而能重新过上正常生活，对我更重要呢，还是说，这些新疫苗技术对我而言风险过大？目前为止记录到的风险和副作用只反映过去数月的瞬间情况，–不论对快速研发出疫苗如何兴奋，都必须确认这一点。有关个别疫苗可能的长期后果，人们尚无认知。只有与接种同时进行、并在疫苗被批准上市后继续进行的全球范围的长期研究方能提供明确答案。

埃尔朗根大学医院临床微生物学、免疫学及卫生研究所所长波格丹（Christian Bogdan）作了如下计算，以说明问题：”若某一老人死于新冠的概率是20%，而接种产生严重副作用的概率为1比5万，那我就会承受这一风险。” 不过，波格丹教授认为，儿童不应接种，因为他们死于新冠的概率几乎为零，同时，他们的生命还很长。 他认为，根据现有数据，小心起见，孕妇或喂奶期女性也不应接种。美国疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）则表示，原则上不反对相关女性根据医生检查和咨询的结果接种新冠疫苗。

A prominent Olympics official has suggested that nations ensure their Olympic athletes are prioritized early in the vaccination rollout to ensure the rearranged Games in Tokyo can go ahead as planned.
Speaking to Sky News, the longest-serving member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Dick Pound, used the example of Canada to illustrate how countries can prioritize their Olympic athletes to ensure their nation is represented fully at the Games, and in turn ensure the Olympics remains a fully-participated event.

“In Canada, where we might have 300 or 400 athletes, to take 300 or 400 vaccines out of several million in order to have Canada represented at an international event of this stature, character and level – I don’t think there would be any kind of a public outcry about that,” he said.

“It’s a decision for each country to make, and there will be people saying they are jumping the queue, but I think that is the most realistic way of it going ahead.”

In Great Britain, the British Olympic Association (BOA) head, Andy Anson, is telling athletes to continue with their preparations, despite the doubts cast in some quarters over the Games’ status.

“I’m telling athletes, ‘It’s going ahead, you should train as hard as you possibly can and be in the best possible shape to go out there and be part of this amazing celebration’.

“They’ve got to assume it’s happening and every message is it’s going to happen but we’ve got to get through these tough times first.”

Despite Pound’s suggestion to prioritize athletes for COVID vaccinations, Anson said that luxury won’t be afforded to Team GB athletes ahead of the Tokyo Games.

“They won’t get priority access now because I think everyone – athletes included – would agree that the priority is the people who need it most; the frontline workers, the elderly, those with health issues, and that’s the first wave of vaccination,” he said.

“There will come a time, hopefully in late spring or summer ahead of the Olympic Games, when the athletes can be vaccinated.

“But we’ll do that when it’s appropriate and when the government feels it’s appropriate. With the UK Sport and DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) we’re having conversations, but more about when the time is right.”

From an athlete’s standpoint, open-water swimmer Alice Dearing told Sky News that she felt confident that best practices will be followed in the lead-up to the Games.

“I really think the organizers will do everything they can to keep us safe,” said the 23-year-old Briton.

“If a vaccine is available for us and not putting anyone else at risk to have it, then I would have it.

“But it’s out of my hands. If I’m told it’s not available, that’s fine, too. There are bigger things at risk even if that’s hard to admit because, for me, swimming is the biggest thing in the world. But the world doesn’t revolve around me.”

JANUARY 7, 2021 Mexican doctor who had a serious allergic reaction after receiving Pfizer Inc and BioNTech’s vaccine against COVID-19 remains hospitalized and has not fully recovered muscle strength, health authorities said on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old internist, who got the vaccine on Dec. 30, had several seizures in the following days and is being treated in a specialized hospital that is part of Mexico’s social security institute IMSS.

The health ministry’s initial diagnosis after the reaction was encephalomyelitis. Encephalomyelitis is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The ministry has said the doctor has a history of allergic reactions.

Victor Hugo Borja, an IMSS director, said the doctor has so far responded favorably to treatment, has had no new seizures, and recovered some of the muscle strength lost.

“Today, she’s been able to sit up and it’s possible she’ll be discharged in the following days,” said Borja at a news conference.

Doctors are still studying whether the doctor’s seizures and decreased muscle strength are related to the vaccine against COVID-19 or previous conditions. The ministry has said there is no evidence from clinical trials that anyone has developed an inflammation of the brain after the vaccine’s application.

Pfizer said it is aware that the health ministry is studying the case and vowed to continue to collaborate “with any information that is requested from us.”

Mexico started its COVID-19 vaccination plan before Christmas, giving frontline workers priority.
