This is going to be a bit of a hot potato and I’m not sure if it’s been discussed before here we go:
Have you declined the Covid vaccine? If so, could you explain why because I don’t understand?

I had a 3rd primary Pfizer vaccination on Sept 24th , so due my booster on Dec 24th. Our surgery is making appointments for booster, I had a choice of 23rd Dec or Jan 19th, so though it’s a day early I am going for the 23rd as I don’t think a day will make much difference. But a few weeks might. I don’t know what my surgery think about it but I am going to try.

I'm sorry for your neighbour Ginny and I do believe the selfishness because we were estranged by our son as a result of us getting vaccinated. He is strongly Anti Vaccine.

I know we are not alone, but it is very , very sad to hear of other families also split up by vaccine beliefs and decisions.

I'm absolutely terrified of the side effects of the "vaccine"

I am more afraid of getting the virus than side effects

Me too, despite side effects from the booster

Why put vaccine in inverted commas?

I have had all three vaccinations now. 2 Astra and the booster Pfizer. No side effects with the exception of feeling tired since the booster but nothing to worry about.
I was worried Biscuitmuncher before this booster but the worry beforehand went as soon as the day came to have it done. The worry beforehand is the problem. I would just make an appointment and go if I were you.
