I never used to get my flu shot. The first time I got it was during the swine flu outbreak that was hitting younger people harder. After that, the thing that really solidified me as an annual flu shot person was that I worked with kids every day and my work provided flu shots for free. I thought, "How selfish do I have to be to refuse a free shot on my lunch break that could protect these kids I work with from a potentially deadly disease?".
Over the years, I've taken a harder and harder line with anti-vaxxers. I have landed on the opinion that an otherwise healthy person that refuses to fully vaccinate themselves or their children is a selfish conspiratorial freeloader. I treat them nicely in person, but otherwise avoid them like the plagues they carry.

The worst vaccine I've had to get, ever, is the covid stuff, it makes my arm so sore and it makes me tired. That's it though. I can sacrifice 1 day of productivity to help the people around me

Clearly you have not gotten the shingrix (shingles) vaccine. It’s bad but only for a day. And actually getting shingles is 100x worse.

I had the shingles shot the same day I had my tetanus booster. If there was any side effect to shingrix it was lost under the fun of TDaP. Still better than covid.

Omg, I don't remember if I've gotten it but im not even 25, might have when I was a baby.. I would just try to sleep through it lol. Worked for the covid booster

If you are 25 you won’t have gotten the shingles vax shot. It’s primarily for older people.

Actually, if they're 25, they may never need the shingles vaccine. Depends if they had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine.

The covid shot makes me want to die for a couple of days. Still worth it to lower the risk of infecting my older relatives.
