I have an immune deficiency, Grover’s and also joint inflammation. I’m 76 but very independent and have always kept up with flu & pneumonia vaccines. Since Covid I have kept up with those also including the latest along with the flu shot a few weeks ago. From my own experience I have not had any worse inflammation than I normally have. My sister who has rheumatoid arthritis was told be her doc to get the Covid and she’s doing fine. Personally I’d get the vaccines…

I have an over-reactive inflammatory system. Every vaccine gives me a flare, but I get them because I also have lung problems. A respiratory infection like the flu, or Covid would have potentially dire consequences for me. So I put up with injection reactions in hopes of avoiding worse illnesses. Occasionally, the reactions have been bad enough to require a course of steroids, for me that is a tolerable risk compared to becoming ill.
