[quote=Anonymous]No. We do flu shots but haven't done covid shots (for any of us) since the initial 2 shot series and then one subsequent booster. We have all gotten covid twice since then and it has been extremely mild.

The real reason, for me, that I am not excited about the covid vaccine is that covid isn't seasonal. So, with the flu shot, it only gives about 5 months of protection, but if you take it in October or November it protects you through flu season. Covid is prevalent year round and so it doesn't make sense to me to have guidance to take it with the flu shot. And getting a vaccine every 4 month (that's about the max efficacy of the covid vaccine) seems insane when the actual virus has been very mild for our family multiple times.

If they had clear guidance that made sense, I'd be more willing. But as it stands, I don't think there's a consensus within the medical community for how the vaccine should be administered, who should take it, and how frequently.

FWIW, I am a super liberal who has never voted for anyone but the bluest candidate in all elections and will continue to do so. [/quote]
