: Your choice. You can either believe you would be one of the few /100million doses with the problem or not. I was happy to get both doses &amp; consider all the misinformation on the web and social media worthless.

The risk of blood clots is very small, probably less than the risk of blood clots from taking birth control. I recommend the vaccine for my patients and would hesitate only for the one-dose vaccine in a young woman.
