If you had it to do over, would you get it again?
“If you had it to do over, would you get it again?”
I believe I had some level of previous Covid infection protection, so my need to get vaccinated is less than would be typical for my age of 62. Therefore, I’ve thought about it and I can’t say yes or no (personally) for sure, but probably yes because I may need to take care of my very old uncle or help an 80-year old friend, both of whom live in ‘Blue’ government areas. It’s not only a personal medical decision.
I believe people over 50 or with increased Covid risk susceptibility should generally get vaccinated for their medical well-being and medical persons working with Covid vulnerable people should get vaccinated or find other employment.
Note that:
“Reports of adverse events following the use of J&J/Janssen vaccine suggest an increased risk of a rare adverse event called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Nearly all reports of this serious condition, which involves blood clots with low platelets, have been in adult women younger than 50 years old.”

Therefore, women under age 50 probably should prefer the mRNA vaccines.
As for healthy Americans under age 50, there is also the need to ensure vaccine supplies to fight Covid variant spread around the globe.
Your body - your friends and relatives - your lifestyle - your decision.
