Hi I had second shot (Pfizer ) in March 2020. After that the AFib which was under control ( sinus rhythm for two years with Tikosyn) triggered and I went through two cardioversions and finally ablation. It is four months I am in normal sinus rhythm. Though doctors never admit my condition had anything to do with COVID vaccine I do not believe them. As we all know COVID is like an elephant everyone is trying to guess what they can. So I have decided not to take booster dose because I do not want my AFib back. Will take care and risk of corona.

Exactly, I'll risk the virus with two shots rather than possibly trigger another bout of Fib.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am wishing you the best.

I am struggling with this question as well. I am considering taking the J&J booster which (a new study today preliminarily shows) provides strong protection against omicron. There is, of course, the rare clotting risk, which I'll need to discuss with my EP, but these vaccines haven't been associated with arrhythmia.
