The bottom line is, if you have never had doubts about getting a flu vaccine, you shouldn’t with either of these vaccines either.
While there are some well publicised side effects, they are very rare…when compared to the risk of complications from actually hosting the virus, the full extent of which we will only begin to understand in the years to come as we treat more “long COVID” patients.
Of course it is tragic for the families of those that have suffered the extremes of these rare events, it has to be kept in perspective, and currently we’re building an increasingly robust means of treating those affecting the majority of those that develop a reaction.
Nobody seems to be bothered by the risk of anaphylaxis, but then that hasn’t been widely blown out of proportion.
The media have a lot to answer for.
