I am NOT anti-vax so here’s my take on it. It’s too new for me yet. It hasn’t been fully trialed and is given by emergency authorization. When I saw my doctor, who is very pro-vax, she told me to get the flu shot and never mentioned the COVID vax. If she thought it was a good idea she would have said so.
I know doctors that have taken it and doctors that haven’t. The doctors that haven’t have had the same reason....too new and untested.
I know three people in my immediate family that have taken it with no issues.
I know one person in my husband’s family that took it and has recurring reactions of hives and rash to the point of visiting the ER three times so far.
I’ll wait.
Same with my doctor, he has not recommended the covid vaccine to anyone in my family during our visits.
We had to place my FIL (81) in memory care, he has vascular dementia. They did not require (or even push) him or any of us to get the vax, he just had to get a negative covid test. There are no restrictions on visiting him either, we are asked to wear masks when we go in the common areas where other residents are, but we can visit him outside or to his room without them.
But this is Georgia which has been pretty laid back regarding covid and our cases are back down to where they were when covid first hit our state. Even without lockdowns and mandates (imagine that).
