I’ve thought about getting the vaccine but I’m scared it might do something to my health because I have seizures if anyones got it please give me answers and your personal opinion
I got the covid shot I didn't have any problems seizure wise I did get really sick off of the 1st shot and still ended up getting covid anyway causing a seizure since sickness is one of my triggers but other than that the shot didn't cause any for me
I've gotten two shots already and going for my third tomorrow. Had not problems other than a sore arm that I got the shot in :)
Sorry to hear about that! Especially that one of your triggers is when you get sick. I hope you at least did not have any significant effects from Covid-19.
Unfortunately, it is a vaccine and not a cure, thus it doesn't prevent us from getting Covid-19 but rather gives us an aid in fighting it off and reduces the likelihood that we will need to go into the hospital or at least not end up in ICU in the hospital,.
Time magazine reported last month that because how easily that the omicron Covid-19 spreads, most of us will at some point get Covid-19, though those of us who have had the 2 shots and later the booster shot (6 months later -- to restock the antibodies that fade over time after the pair of shots) are less likely to need to go to the hospital and might not even have any of the symptoms (especially since omicron is much less deadly than the delta variant and the previous variants). With the research that they have at this point (will take years after the pandemic before they have enough information to make a stronger statement of fact), it is believe that after the pandemic has passed, Covid-19 will be still around but be down to the level of spreading and fatalities of the flu. Thus, the most vulnerable will be advised to get an annual Covid-19 shot along with the annual flu shot. And the rest of you can choose to have to continue getting the shots just like you decide whether you get a flu shot.
I have had all 3 shots and had no problems. My neurologist wanted me to get them.
My primary care doctor and neurologist both recommended that I get the shots. I got the first 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in the spring 2021 and my Pfizer booster shot in December
The reality is that because we are in a pandemic all of the testing was rushed to create the vaccines and it has not been enough years since the pandemic began and since the first vaccine shots were given in order to know the potential long term side effects from getting the shot.
However, what is known is that those who at least get the first two shots then you have the antibodies to give you the best chance in winning in the battle with Covid-19.
And in the booster shot just refreshes the antibodies in your body --because they disappear over time.
And as an article in Time Magazine (and other sources indicated), most people will get Covid-19 (especially because how much easier for the omicron variant to spread), but the omicron variant is less deadly than the delta variant (though both of these hit children hard just like they do for adults ---which was not the case for the earlier versions of Covid-19). And honest statistical information (from many nations -- not simply the United States) are indicating that the best survival chances and even chances to not need to be hospitalized at all are for those who get the vaccine shots and then 6 months later the booster shot.
This is as opposed to politically biased sources of the Republican Party (and some similar parties, individuals and other groups) that are lying because they see the opportunity to use the pandemic as a political tool to seize power (taking the House back this year and the Senate back either this year or next year). And while Senator Cruz and many of the other conservative Republican Congressmen are telling people that the vaccine shots are not necessary (as Trump was when he was president), Senator Cruz was at the front of the line of Congressmen to get his vaccine shots.
The bottom line is that you (unlike the citizens in Israel and possibly at least one other nation) have the freedom to choose whether you get the shots or not. And the US Supreme Court is discussing whether it is constitutional correct for the president to make required shots for the US military and medical staffs at hospitals. However, for decades before Covid-19 even existed, there have always been people who cite rare occurrences of drastic effects from getting the flu shot each year. Yet what these people do not talk about is the number of people who die every year from the flu. Just like all of the other vaccines, the flu shot and the Covid-19 are not CURES (I have no idea when the last cure for anything was developed) but provide assistance to your immune system to win the battles with them.
