I believe that is what caused my issue which started after COVID and the Vaccine. I was diagnosed with LBBB, I have no clogged arteries, just a weakened heart.

I always get the regular flu shot. I was required to get for work and never had any problems. Since I am semi-retired I have more control over my environment and I also had Covid and was not too sick for too long. Since I have so many odd reactions sometimes (autoimmune) I think I will pass unless the Dr says I definitely need it. But you should go with your own Dr who knows your medical history. People like to give medical advice but everyone has more than one or two factors in their medical history that may impact them.

I’ll pass based on my experience. I feed and care for my immune system and feel this is better protection. I act responsibly but won’t let a virus keep me from living a full life. God bless all.

It’s nice to have options and free choice. Fwiw … I waited a year then chose to get the first Pfizer shot. Before my second scheduled shot I was getting several Afib notices per day. These notices continued daily for over a year until my ablation. Now Afib and drug free again. Good luck with your choice.

I never had a regular flu shot and never had the flu.
I never had any covid shots, upon both my doctors advice.
I have a heart condition, RA, which is an auto immune disorder and I also have a blood clotting disorder
I did get covid in 12/2021. My back hurt more than it usually does, other than that I lost my sense of taste and smell for about a month . I was up and about taking care of my husband( who brought the virus home)
He went to a work event 50 guys in one room for 10 hours no masks . DUMB! He didn’t get up and move around and ended up in the hospital for 2 days . He is very healthy except over weight . I take a lot of supplements and eat healthy.
It is a personal decision for all involved .
