Aprilflower, that is so sad. I have an eldery aunt who has just had her booster a few weeks ago, and she had a stroke a week later. She has recovered to a degree but she has been admitted to the hospital one week after each of her vaccines which, to me seems a bit too much of a coincidence. I have had horrid palpitations for a year and a half now since having my first vaccine and no answer has been found. I wont take a booster. Its the long terms effects that no one can possibly have an idea about. I have had Covid and I survived so I will trust my immune system hereon in. I have a relative who works in a hospital dealing with the vaccines, she is not taking the booster. But I agree, it has to be an individual choice and because I am naturally a great worrier, the anxiety that the thought of a booster is giving me is far worse than the worry of getting Covid again. Many of my friends are choosing not to get it either so it looks as if the takeup will get less and less. In fact the chief medical officer in England only last week said flu this year is a bigger worry especially in kids.
