When and whether to get a COVID booster should depend on your health status, risk tolerance, timing of last infection and other personal factors, experts say.
my partner and i have gotten the vaccine and boosters as soon as they were available but the last time i had really bad heart palpitations for about a day and a half.
i didn't corelate that with the vaccine until my cousin went to the hospital for the same thing
Sorry that happened to you but I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment. We should study the negative side effects of vaccines and take them seriously but two anecdotes outside of a clinical trial is not much more meaningful than a single anecdote. If everybody is vaccinated, you'd expect a bunch of vaccinated people to die or get weird symptoms even if it's completely unrelated to the vaccine. We see patterns everywhere.
sure, I'm just saying I'm way more leery of it now since no one told me that could happen and i hadn't heard of others saying that outside of random people on Twitter
