I usually tell them what they can do with their vaccine. (Here in US)

I have just received by booster covid jab and my husband gets his next week. I feel much safer now than I did before getting the jabs. With COPD the symptoms of Covid could be far worse than without having had the jab.

Nagged no. But encouraged to have the vaccinations, which makes sense.

My niece’s 38 year old husband died from COVID in April 2020 he had NO underlying health conditions, my niece works in retail she got it first, her husband was a chef in a care home but we will never know where they contracted it. He passed away just a week after being admitted to hospital, needless to say his death has devastated the whole family. Then my 96 year old mum who has COPD contracted it twice in her care home the first time she’d only had the first dose and it was only picked due to their regular lateral flow tests as she was asymptomatic . My eldest son has asthma he & his family got it a few months ago, he & his wife are both double vaccinated if they had not been he would definitely have ended up in hospital possibly on a ventilator because he felt very unwell, we believe the vaccine has saved possibly 2 other family members from being taken by this deadly virus. I hope you stay safe and well as I wouldn’t wish the trauma we have been through on anyone.

I've had everything that's going. When I become sour, I tell myself that I'm lucky to be alive to complain...

You must not believe in science, because doctors around the world agree that vaccinations, and especially the booster, will prevent hospital stay and death in 90 percent or more of cases. Many people recover from Covid, but many do not -- especially those with underlying conditions such as COPD. Why not protect yourself? In the U.S., the shots are free, easy to get and painless. Stay safe.
