I just got the mandate from my employer, so I am looking into
the "easiest" way to comply.
I have gotten COVID twice.
I don't believe in the effectiveness of any of the vaccines,
so the one with the least side effects for Lyme's will
do just fine for me.

Any personal suggestions?

Thanks,
Rob

Sorry I don’t have suggestions, just sad you’re in this situation. I heard novavax should have fewest side effects but it’s not approved in the us yet

Sorry you’re forced into it- I held out as long as I could - but ended up with two shots (I work in long term care and it was mandated)

I think pfizer has least issues..

I had Moderna and the second jab was the worst for me.

How about the J & J Single Shot vaccine?

Any input on that route?

Isn’t that the one with blood clot risks?

This could all be in naught, as I see the NYC Teacher's Union is filling an
emergency appeal to the Supreme Court seeking an injunction for the
similar reasons......

I don't think the mandates are constitutional. Most (if not all) products being given now are still under EUA.
Seek legal counsel (like lc.org).

You don't want to ruin your health. Maybe find another job? Get a medical exemption?

I think they all have blood clot risks.

Small nitpick; When it comes to effectiveness of the COVID vaccinations belief is as useless as an ice cream cone without ice cream It doesn't matter what people choose or are influenced/indoctrinated into believing. When it comes to effectiveness what matter is the evidence.

Since you have already had COVID you should get very strong immunity with one shot. If your workplace's rules are that you have to be fully vaccinated then you could go for the one shot J&J shot. There are rare cases of a serious type of blood clot associated with these vaccines. The risk is highest among women 50 and under.

The mRNA vaccines don't have this blood clot association, but it takes 2 shots to be considered fully vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine uses a lower dose than the Moderna, and has been shown, at least earlier this year, to have lesser side effects in general.

I've been chronically ill since I had a tick bite in 2015. I got the two shot Pfizer regimen, and my side effects were mild.

Thanks for the helpful info/testimonial !
I am still going to try for my "exemption", but still need options available
if that goes nowhere........

Sorry you are forced into getting the vaccine Robwireguy, I work at a school in NY and am hearing rumors that we might be mandated to get it soon. Do you have an option to test out, that is what I am doing now? Also has anyone who has already gotten the vaccine have the MTHFR mutation? I do and am worried about that causing an issue if I do end up getting it.

RobWireGuy:

Personally, I think Lymie24 has offered sound advice. Therefore, there's not much I can add, except to say I wish you much luck and good health. If you base your decision on credible information and discuss it with any doctors that know your specific health situation, then you'll make the best decision for your circumstances. Keep us posted, if you're so inclined. I'd like to know how things go for you.

So I saw this article on a covid antibody therapy AstraZeneca is seeking approval for that should protect patients from covid for a year. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-astrazeneca-requests-emergency-authoritisation-in-us-or-drug-that-reduces-risk-of-developing-coronavirus-symptoms-by-77-12426338

I mean I don’t know how long it’ll take to get through fda, but it sounds like a less scary alternative to vaccine.

I don't know if this will help or soothe your worries but I was on the fence about the vaccine, this would keep me up at night, I was very worried since I got very ill 2 years ago from a vaccine for college. I waited it out as long as I could. I was eligible in February ( I'm in healthcare) got the Phizer in May. No side effects with both doses, I almost cried with relief about how well I did.
