If anything, I'd be going the other way.
I'd planned on both. Getting the flu one at work this week. So the other depends on when I bother my lazy arse to get it done. Did both at the same time last year for convenience.
Does recent reports of vaccine damage and the ultimate safety of the vaccines ( which lets face it , we don't really know yet) , not make you worried about getting another covid jab?
We certainly do know a lot about the damage caused by Covid, and there is little evidence that damage of vaccines is in any way on a comparable scale. There have been billions of Covid vaccines, yet very few problems and the link between the vaccine and the people with problems is unclear in many cases.
This is a bit like the seat belt debate concentrating on the possible of the seat belt not opening or of having a sore shoulder if it prevents you flying through the windscreen.
I have a mate who had his head turned by antivaxxers in his extended circle once he had young kids back in the 00s (we're talking MMR etc). We actually had to stop discussing it because he got so upset when I pointed out the illogical
Some people are just wired differently I guess.
The greatest majority of people that I know who questioned the mRNA Covid vaccines ( I'd guess you would call then Antivaxxers) have no issue with MMR,flu vaccines etc.
One simple (actually 2) questions for you. Do you think there was enough clinical evidence at the time to justify administering the covid vaccine to under 12's?
If those coercive factors weren't in play( like children not being allowed to attend class) would you do it again?
