Well, although I have take the usual flu vaccines, I don’t think I will take the Covid one. I live in a small town and only venture out for groceries and church. May I ask..what are you platelets at now...mine went up to 1138 before the Hydroxyurea,maybe 2years ago,it was 1/day for quite a while then up to 2/day now an extra 2/week.I also have cll. Can you tell me what this ‘jak ‘ is.....Catherine

I am really frightened to take anymore covid vaccines I am fully vaccinated.but I had terrible effects after the Moderna vac It literally made me so I’ll for days vomiting continuously could hardly stand ,but I thought maybe one off then I had Pfizer vac same response really I’ll.So don’t think I will accept any more
