Has anyone had the 2023 updated Covid shot?

My best friend developed long Covid symptoms beginning the day she got the vaccine. She's not an anti-vaxer, but she is convinced the vaccine was the initiating factor for her long Covid.

I shared I had a good friend with LC which appeared to be vaccine-induced, but I wanted to add that my decisions about vaccination are based on peer reviewed research. The latest research out on long covid vaccines in LC patients concludes the chance of improving symptoms is greater than the chance of symptoms worsening. Researchers found "decreased levels of several pro-inflammatory plasma cytokines/chemokines after COVID-19 vaccination," but that "SARS-CoV-2 S1 antigen persisted in the blood of PCC (post-Covid condition) participants." In other words, symptoms improved, but viral persistence remained after vaccination in more patients than not.

I've been struggling with this decision. I think I'm going to roll the dice and get the shot. I had very little reaction to the first three.

On a similar topic, who has received a flu shot since they developed long Covid?

I think I have LPCVS after 5 covid vaccinations. I will not be getting any more mRNA vaccines. I'm so weak I can hardly walk.

I’ve never had the mRNA vax, but did have one shot of J&J’s Covid vax. I’ve had Covid twice, last in Nov/Dec 2021, the Delta variant which almost killed me, had pneumonia with it. Didn’t go in hosp as I was afraid to, no matter what. I had oxygen at home already, antibiotics for the pneumonia, and some other treatments. Then I had have LC ever since. I research all the time. I would take the Novavax Covid vax as it’s not a mRNA vax, but I can’t find it locally. That where I stand at present, while I try to treat the damaged and destroyed mitochondria with certain supplements as I’m exhausted all the time. I only go out of house for medical appts and always mask up with N95 mask and glove up with clean white cotton gloves, when I go to appts.

Yes, I got the latest Covid booster in November. Slight reaction for one and then AOK. It is surging in my area and I am grateful that I have the latest vaccine.

I, too, had the Covid booster in November. I had no problems at all.

I also had the covid vaccine in October and didn’t have any symptoms..it didn’t aggravate my long covid symptoms either which was my first concern. I heard that they developed yet another covid vaccine for the spring but I don’t know why, perhaps they found another variant that the current vaccine is not helping. I never had any issues taking the numerous covid vaccines because I trusted them and I still do but it’s very apparent that covid is constantly changing, in fact I read that covid can change even when it’s inside us which leaves me wondering if they will ever have a vaccine that covers everything.

I’ve never had a mRNA vax, just 1 J&J non-mRNA one. I’ve had Covid twice, LC since Nov 2021. I tried to get the new Novavax but couldn’t find it anywhere in my location. When I took the J&J in summer 2022 I had to go out of town to find one and I live in a metro cities of about 250,000 people. They make it super hard for anyone who doesn’t want the mRNA. I had to go out of town a little later to get Evusheld, a monoclonal antibody, set of 2 injections, to actually prevent one from getting Covid in first place, supposed to last 6 months and was only available for people with compromised immune systems. Then government took that off the market, had excuse that Covid has once again mutated. Of course it had but they weren’t even giving the Evusheld a chance to see if it worked or not.
Anyway I haven’t had Covid again, that I know of, since the Evusheld. But I only leave house for medical appts, and I always N95 up and white cotton glove up.

Sorry, but the mRNA vaccines aren’t really vaccines. They don’t prevent you from getting Covid, nor prevent you from getting sick and even dying from Covid. That’s what real vaccines are supposed to do to be called “vaccines”. These mRNA shots are experimental genetic engineering profit-making experiments.

That’s very frightening to hear this, I have never had any reason to distrust vaccines, we have been getting them since birth and we have gotten rid of many diseases in doing this. Today we are facing a new disease and it’s causing chaos in our lives, it’s going to take some time to get this under control. Statistics show that our vaccines have gotten some good results with controlling covid. I have heard many theories and I’m sure most of the people have also heard them …it’s entirely up to yourself what you choose to do, thank God we still have some freedom of choice.
