The risks of COVID-19 infection outweigh the risks of the vaccine which is highly effective. It is especially important for individuals with underlying conditions to be vaccinated. Please follow up with your PCP.

You have NO reason not to get vaccinated. Stop online research as it is suffused with FAKE NEWS. talk to your doctor

Not enough info here. Your age, underlying conditions, sensitivity to vaccine ingredients, previous vaccine reactions, etc will all factor in to your individual case. Don’t feel pushed into a vaccine. Best to discuss with your physician

Get the vaccine. Risk of not getting vaccinated far outweighs the hypothetical risks of the vaccine. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

The problem with going unvaccinated (unprotected) is the fact that the COVID0-19 virus and its variants can unpredictably affect any tissue of one's body, including the brain and heart. Don't take that chance.

If you’re going to get vaccine from Pfizer or moderna then there’s nothing to worry about as it does not contain even complete mRNA from the disease virus. This vaccine is completely safe and very effective. Principle of informed consent gives you a choice whether you take the vaccine or not.

The COVID vaccine is safe for the overwhelming majority of the population. Hypertension was one of the comorbid conditions that was targeted for earlier administration of vaccine. Hepatitis B should not pose a problem with the vaccine, particularly if it has been quiet for 7 years. The COVID vaccine would not be expected to reactivate hepatitis B.
