To not have any more covid jabs?

Booster yesterday. Floored today. I have the jabs because I'm immune suppressed due to medication for psoriatic arthritis. Been stable for months with arthritis, then woken up in so much pain I feel like I've been run over. Usual joints plus some new ones which haven't flared before. Honestly feels like my ribs are broken. Aibu to say the jab isn't worth it and decline further ones?

Well, I've had covid three or four times, once before there were any vaccinations, and didn't find it too bad tbh. Not sure why I'm putting myself through the vaccination when it makes me feel worse than actually having covid!

If you are still being offered jags then you must be in a vulnerable group. Is that a dice you want to roll?

No, I don't think that you are being unreasonable. I have also decided to decline any further boosters. You do your research and make a decision based on what you know. I have a friend who is vulnerable but so ill (for months) after the last booster she has also decided not to have anymore. Her GP agreed with the decision.
