Would you have the jab annually if this was the only option to keep virus at bay?

Just discussing the pandemic with my DH and we were discussing vaccination. We have both been double jabbed and we were discussing if it became necessary to have it annually like the flu jab- would you have it every year?? I said yes (I had very few side effects from jab) he said no way (he felt ill for days after both jabs!). We are both in our 40's with no health conditions.

If it were free, yes. I'm not paying for it.

Is this a rhetorical question?

Yes, without hesitation

Yes of course.

No. I think the vulnerable groups should be offered it, the same with the flu vaccine, and the rest of us can just get on with it, just like we do with flu.

@JassyRadlett

No the vaccine side effects were 10x worse than the virus

And yet here you are.

(I would, despite moderately bad side effects with AZ.)

Because she wouldn’t be here if she hadn’t had the vaccine? Confused

I would, I'll get the flu shot annually so no problem if this is needed also. If it helps to protect the vulnerable then I'm happy to do so.

No because I have scarred and I don't want my arm covered in scar tissue. Confused
I give blood 3x per year and have the flu jab annually. Also had both covid jabs. How does a jab 'scar'? I'm genuinely curious. I can't even see where the needle went in after a day.
