I wonder how many people haven't gotten it because of inconvenient side effects. Every shot I've gotten completely knocks me out for a day. Sweats, fever, aches, basically can't do anything but lay in bed all day the next day. Better than getting it, but I can't spare a whole day to be sick just for a vaccine. Can't afford to take a sick day.
I understand what you are saying but if you can't afford a sick day, you can't afford to actually get sick with it.
It does for me too but i got COVID way back at the start, before there were vaccines or stuff, and it's probably the sickest i've ever been. The only contenders were getting stomach flu in the middle of the Boundary Water Canoe Area or that time i got swine flu. The former i thought my insides were shutting down, it was misery. The latter my with made me come in even though i was sick and the rest of the workplace got it and a bunch of people ended up in the hospital. COVID was more recent so there's some bias there but it was at least top 3.
I'm getting whatever vaccination i can until there's clearly no more need.
Got it yesterday. Shoulder is sore as hell, but it's not nearly as bad as actually having COVID. Still, yeah it's a huge barrier.
I got J&J the first time around and it made me sleep the rest of the day, just absolutely walloped me. But every booster I've had since then was super easy - no side-effects whatsoever except mild injection site soreness which went away in a day. I got the latest booster on Tuesday and by the end of the day I'd forgotten I even got it until I undressed for bed and saw the bandaid.
I’ll take that over another round of Covid. Got it last winter and it knocked me out for 10 days
My wife and I got the first two and it knocked us out for almost a week. Not getting it again.
Just get it and go to work sick. They must want that since they limited your sick time. Either that or do it as late as possible Sunday night
