^^^This is where I'm at.^^^ I've been getting the flu shot for years, with no ill effects at all. DoggyMama swears it made her sick, so she quit getting them. I saw what my dad went through with shingles and I wanted no part of it, so I got it (and a booster). No ill effects.Everyone uses their past experiences and the information they collect to try to make the best decision for them. No one should be allowed to force us to make what we think is a bad decision for ourselves.
After much consideration, I finally got the Pfizer Covid shots (but no booster yet, since that wasn't a consideration when DoggyMama and I got ours). Absolutely no side effects for me (not even a sore arm). DoggyMama's arm was sore for a few days, but that was it.
Bottom line, it's an individual choice. Not going to advocate for or against either way.
