As a covid survivor you likely have immunity for a year or two if not more. The germ is likely to circle the globe for years and come back. If you rely on Dr Google or Dr Facebook for advice you will hear bad news a lot. Earlier data show fully vaccinated ( and likely covid survivors) have a 1/28000 risk of ICU level care with a new strain/infection in the near future. Later ? No one knows.

YES in capital letters. The delta variant is very worrisome. Please get vaccinated asap so you do not come down with Covid and possibly succumb. The vaccine is SAFE!

YES!. Get the vaccine. The risk of side effects from the vaccine is less than miniscule compared to the risk with Covid. Do yourself and your family a favor and get the vaccine, now. Wish you good health!
