Yes, there will be side effects, but some of us are accustomed to that. And the providers always go over the side effects and give you a paper listing them when you get a vaccine. I guess everyone will have to decide on their own, but trial volunteers who have been interviewed regularly describe their reactions as "no worse than a flu shot."
BUT - my daughter's 40 yo coworker who had Covid last spring. She has suffered as a "long hauler" all summer and fall was just admitted to the ICU in their hospital today for multiple pulmonary embolisms...and she is young and had no underlying risks before Covid. That drives me into the "Yes to the vaccine" camp...

This is very interesting information mayofeb. Thanks for sharing. I worry about my 90 year old mother getting the vaccine and possibly suffering an adverse reaction. I know it would be better than catching the virus itself though most likely. She said she would take it. A couple we know who are 72 and 78 contracted CoVid and were sick for a good week. They both felt like they had a bad bout of the flu. She became dehydrated and had to go to the ER for hydration. She was just so weak she wasn’t eating much or drinking. Plus she lost her sense of smell. They are both on the mend and fortunately did not have to be admitted. Please take care and be safe everyone. We’ll get through this together!

Thank you mayofeb. That’s good advice your children gave you and I need to heed that advice too (for the Shingles vaccine right now)😜

@mayofeb2020- Thank you for this site. It's very informative and easy to understand. We all need to read as much as possible, I know COVID fatigue, and understand as much as possible to make educated decisions.
