Has anyone had the 2023 updated Covid shot?

This is good to know. I am on the fence, as my immune system is compromised since my last Covid infection in July and I have terrible breathing issues (chest and sinus congestion and terrible shortness of breath). I don't like the idea of a vaccine when I am unwell ( I was vaccinated 3x before I got Long Covid. However, I have had Covid twice and both times were horrible and really don't want a round three. I may opt for the vaccine

I would look into a panel of existing viral loads. You have a sensitivity to getting so an infectious disease panel may reveal more information
In preventing getting COVID I still mask in small spaces but an added barrier I do is zycam or aquaphor in my nose. Depending on the transmission inhaling through the nose or the mouth have different impacts. Covid entered through my nose through my cribiform plate straight to my brain and had its greatest global impact.
COVID like any virus highjacks your cells. Reproduces and creates Zombie Cells. LongCOVID is a metabolic disorder. That why a healthy lifestyle and customized care generates results. There is so much to learn about yourself and what works for one person may not work for another. Be Well

HI phi1618,
Sounds awful...sorry! I think I've been through a similar experience.
Maybe you should ask your pulmonologist or other doctor if you should get the vax? Since your lungs are already hurting, maybe you need it more than most people? I am not a doctor/nurse/medical person.
The second time I got Covid, my rheumatologist put me on Paxlovid. It really helped a lot! My first round of Covid destroyed my health and life. 3 years later, I'm still recuperating, lost my job, etc.
If you get Covid again, try the Paxlovid.
Good luck with your health and with your vax decision.
