I know this is not gonna be a popular topic to talk about, but please, here me out.

I had a heart transplant and immuno-suppressed. Currently dealing with post cellular rejection issues, and my immuno-therapy is making me very susceptible to the common cold and flu etc. and I don’t do so hot even with those minor illness.

I am afraid of getting Covid 19, just like I was of h1n1. But unlike the h1n1, I am very skeptical of the vaccine for Covid.

Is there any other pede like me who is going through something similar? Or have I psyched myself out? I don’t want to be reckless

Thanks for the help.

My 2 pennies: I think individuals in your situation, and similar situations, should always be hyper aware of catching illnesses. Just like before covid, immuno-compromised folk have to take extra precautions. I wouldn't buy into the fear porn the media is selling, BUT, I would think of covid as I would any other normal illness, ie: a cold or flu, and do all I could covid or no covid, to avoid getting sick. I am not a medical professional, but I do not buy into the doom porn of covid after viewing medical professionals articles and videos.

But how do you feel about the vaccine?

If you were in my situation would get it?

It’s a rough decision
