The choice is yours. However, if the reason is how fast they came up with the vaccine, you might want to do a bit more research to see if you are really working with valid information. The studies I have read on the vaccine indicate that they have been working on this "new" process for several years, particularly targeting Mers and SARS. When COVID became the issue, they tested the idea with COVID targeted. It is amazing how well the tests results have been. A typical flu vaccine is between 30-40% efficient. These tests are easily superior to the flu serums. I am not an expert and I do NOT receive the flu shot, ever. I have never had the flu and realize that it is just a matter of time before it hits me, IF I am susceptible to infection and not just immune. Like you, I have made my choice. I did get my COVID shot because I am NOT going to be responsible to my children for infecting their mother with a potentially deadly illness. Just my take on this. If I thought there was any danger of getting this vaccine, I would not even consider experimenting with a new product like this. However, I have had to be inoculated with a ton of vaccinations in order to travel overseas, which I would not normally even consider, so this is a no brainer.
