Is it bad that I’m apprehensive about the vaccine? I’m 100% pro vaccine but not 100% covid vaccine…especially after my sister in law had a meeting yesterday explaining all the side effects that they’ve been seeing across the world with the Pfizer vaccine. I’m in my 30s and healthy…I might wait. I’m torn about feeling this way.
