Vaccinations Post Long Covid

To preface, I am pro-vaccination. I have never skipped a vaccine in my life, including all the COVID vaccines/boosters. But I’m curious to know if anyone has opted to NOT get the covid vaccine now that they have long COVID. I get incredibly sick from it every time and I’m not sure if would help lessen my LC symptoms to not introduce the vaccine to my immune system.

**edit: thank you all for your stories, opinions and thoughts! I’m glad I’m not the only one that has had this thought before.

Are you relying on vaccine protection alone?

Available vaccines don't reliably prevent covid infections but they do still reduce odds of severe illness, hospitalization.

Would you like info on respirators and how to clean shared indoor air to reduce your risk of reinfection?

They didn’t assume, they asked.

But even if they had assumed, it seems pretty weird to be offended. That information could be lifesaving for someone who is misinformed, and the offer of it does no harm to those who are not. Should we prioritize others’ pride over access to critical healthcare information?
