Each time I've gotten the COVID vaccines I've been informed by the nurse about the known side effects of them. Of course I'm also aware there may be other side effects discovered in the future but so far all I have experienced from any of them is much less than I felt from the Shingles or TDAP or even some of the annual flu vaccines. My spouse who has severe breathing issues due to neuromuscular quadriplegia had no side effects from the COVID vaccines except a low fever, barely breaking 100°F. Neither he nor I have had COVID, not even a mild case, and his doctor checked his blood for antibodies because he's at such risk of dying if he gets it. He's got good levels. That's the result of the vaccines. Come fall, we'll do the next round.
