I'm with you there, same age and opinion. Keep getting offered astra one. If they offered pfizer maybe I'd do it. Probably going to have to tweak it anyway.

It’s a personal choice.
But I would seriously think twice about delaying having the vaccine.

Covid is a serious disease ,you may survive it but it can really mess you up long term.
I know people who have not been able to return to work because of it ,similar age and was very fit before contracting Covid.
Also Uni students getting pneumonia after Covid.

Yep , it’s unpredictable with different strains circulating ,some weak others a lot more severe.
Take a look a the Indian variant sweeping through Bolton ,won’t be long until it’s at everyone’s door step.

Is it really a risk worth taking?

Had both, wouldn't hesitate for 1 second.
At least 4 people are off at our place with long covid.
One has been off since October, their life will never be the same again!

Have you had a COVID-19 vaccine shot
Long running thread with poll in the Coronavirus discussion forum.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
