@babs1956 yes, I get vaccinated for COVID every 6 months and influenza annually. both illnesses have been shown to activate dormant cancer cells and cause them to proliferate (which can lead to new tumors and metastasis.) I use the Novavax (now called Nuvaxovid) COVID vaccine because it is more durable (the protection lasts longer) than the MRNA vaccines. it also has fewer side effects for me. I also wear a N95/KN95 respirator in indoor spaces outside of my home. I'm serious about avoiding respiratory infections.
