After 16 months of disability due to sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy that began within 2 weeks of the first Pfizer vaccine, I would not even consider the current boosters. As stated in the following article, the antibodies induced by the boosters have minimal effectiveness against the current Omicron strains. The booster therefore is not worth the risk for someone who previously had an adverse reaction. Hopefully, as the article indicates, a vaccine will be developed that does not encode the toxic spike protein (and also aggravate autoimmune reactions induced by the vaccine). At that point, I might consider another Covid vaccine.

Have you successfully filed for and been approved for disability with your peripheral neuropathy? I filed back in May and am still waiting for a response, which they said would be 5-6 months after filing (November timeframe).
I never in a million years would have imagined I'd be in this position and need help financially due to vaccine injury. The peripheral neuropathy feels like I am on fire from the inside out. Most days it is unbearable and I end up in tears all while still trying to work and get through the day.

I totally agree. I had an adverse reaction to the first Pfizer vaccine within 15mins, with a cascade of symptoms to follow - brain-fog, tremors, heart/lung pain (lasted 4 days), paresthesia, neuropathy, tinnitus... The tremors and brain-fog got better after 2 months. The paresthesia and neuropathy in my legs/feet, and tinnitus have not gone away - 16months later. Concerned about catching Covid, I got the Novavax jab 5 months ago, which had fewer side-effects (fatigue and heart arrhythmia that lasted a week), but still got Covid 6 weeks ago, which exacerbated the paresthesia and brain-fog, and took 3 weeks for the brain-fog to lift. Even though the Covid was pretty bad, I’d rather have that again than do another vaccine. I think it is just too risky for someone like myself, with these vaccine-induced neurological issues. Until they develop a vaccine without the offending spike, I’ll take my chances…
