The main thing is to follow your doctors advice!
I’m one of those who gets the flu shots and Covid vaccines every year even though I seem to be already immune to Covid!😂. During the pandemic I took care of my husband and daughter who were pretty sick with Covid and I never got it. I had a couple of bouts of Bronchitis in which I always tested negative for Covid. Whenever I got sick with a cold or anything I was tested for Covid and always negative! And my sister is the same—people around her tested positive and she was always negative! Weird, I know.
I worked in the medical field and didn’t hesitate to take a yearly flu shot to protect our immune suppressed patients!
The only one I was a little nervous about, funnily, was the Covid, since basically we were all Lab Rats with that one 😂.
Best wishes for recovery in your health journey.

Interesting how things work out. To my knowledge, I have never had Covid. I was vaccinated multiple times but my wife and daughter were the first to get vaccinated. They were worried about me because I was the one that was immunosuppressed. Both wife and daughter have had mild cases of Covid and tested positive twice. I'm still looking for my first positive Covid test. I do get sick but I have never tested positive for Covid.

I'm not an anti-vax person but I avoid vaccines whenever I can. I haven't had the shingles vaccine yet. It has been offered to me numerous times. Vaccines have caused flares so I take that into consideration. I don't want my immune system to get overly excited about anything.

I have told my health care providers that I can be talked into almost anything. One doctor prided himself on talking people into a vaccine. He bribed me with more prednisone if I would do a pneumovax. I thought he was creative so I agreed to the pneumovax and turned down the extra prednisone.
