@becsbuddy- Excellent questions. I wish I had an answer for you, Becky. I am immunocompromised as well and am afraid of side-effects. But I do plan on getting it. Maybe your doctor might be able to make suggestions?
I can tell you that the vaccine doesn't contain live viruses. The vaccine is geared toward teaching our bodies to fight the virus, hence there will be side effects.
Here are some more facts:

I'm wondering if you or anyone can specifically tell me if by "immunocompromised" that taking a steroidal inhaler counts under this category & whether I would be one to get the vaccine after health care workers, i.e. if I'd be in the category of "vulnerable" or some such wording. Because have used this steroidal inhaler now x about 7 yrs. for slightly compromised lungs plus I used to be a borderline diabetic(now that's resolved) but am still on a small amt. of Metformin. Thanks. Kathy
