AZ booked, younger female with Covid antibodies. WWYD

[confusedfriday]

Early 30s eligible for vaccine through work. No conditions, had Covid a couple of months ago and recovered well. Booked for this Friday and very unsure of what to do. It seems MHRA will issue a new guidance today or tomorrow but what do I do meanwhile? Cancel and book an appointment for later this month (have no idea if it will be available)? It doesn’t make any sense to vaccinate now with AZ if I know that I’m immune already and there is a chance that this vaccine will not be used anymore for younger patients? Shall I wait for Moderna? I am at a loss.

Hope your kids enjoy living in a permanently restricted society then. Because that’s what will happen if people don’t get vaccinated. The social risks of Covid are much more scary than the physical health risks.

I would love to know if you have had your vaccine for the benefit of others and if you’re in the same situation like me.
Please don’t mention my kids. It’s plain mean and you know it. What a shame to use future life of my children like a way to coerce me into taking a vaccine I’m booked for already anyway. Plain nasty.

Life is a risk. There are viruses and illness everywhere. People have forgotten how to analyse basic risk and once the worriers and vulnerable are vaccinated we cannot keep closing things down.

My real concern in all this is rising autoimmunity and cancers from 6 monthly vaccines and there will be no unvaccinated control groups to assess that

I’m sorry to be rude but people like you IMHO have lost all sense of perspective

I’ve been vaccinated for my own benefit. Because I don’t want to live with these restrictions and I have to do my part to bring it to an end. Of course everyone benefits from me being vaccinated, not just me.

@confusedfriday I didn’t mention YOU or YOUR kids at all. I replied to the poster before me who mentioned HER kids.

@MimiPigeon
It’s not an established fact that vaccination reduces transmission, at least not on the level we want it to to be. Vaccination prevents people getting severely sick.
It has ZERO benefits to me personally at the moment. I’m (most probably) doing it due to lack of choice and nothing else.
I’m going to leave this discussion for the sake of my mental health. Good luck everyone.

Delay your vaccine. You have immnuity. There is no rush yiu just been ill. Everyone I know had covid then jab been very ill again afterwards.
Don’t be pressured

And yet no-one I know (directly) has had any problems beyond a sore arm and one with slight tiredness after their vaccine.

Anecdotes are not data.

I wouid def wait

Scarby9 my husband had a full 3 days of feeling as rough as he did with Covid-19 after the vaccination. Having seen it with my own eyes, I'm not keen to revisit that any time soon.

My daughter is 20 and had covid at Xmas. She is eligible for vaccine via her job. She is waiting to see what further evidence emerges and I don't blame her. With talk of clots and potential fertility implications against an illness that was very mild for her... its a no brainer.

If you look at the FULL list of side-effects reported, from the government's own website, you'd realise how we're being gaslighted by the media that there is just one issue going on (rare blood clot) and only 19 people have died -
