I have had two vaccines bit am unsure about the booster as my SIL has developed 2 blood clots after the Moderna.

Also my husband has an IGA deficiency and as I understand it he shouldn’t have the booster but a 3rd vaccination our practice don’t seem to know anything about this.

I may have the booster after Christmas but only after I have tested negative for Covid.

I'm the opposite, I had to convince my GP to let me have the second vaccination.

I had two severe reactions, which put me in bed for three weeks each time, probably because I am immunocompromised and have a history of adverse reactions to medication.
However, I still had a third primary vaccine, because I am ECV and the alternative was even worse. I intend to have my fourth one in February.
My consultant explained exactly what would happen to me if I caught Covid. ⚰️ For me it is a no brainer.

I have had all the vaccines.
A relative has had two, then declined the booster.
This is because she had a bad reaction to the two, related to her diabetes. She doesn't want that again and is also afraid that it is worsening her diabetes long term.

pea007, I'd really like to know too. I've heard some very strange, totally illogical 'reasons' so far.

Yes, I declined the second after a bad reaction to the first.

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?
