Ignore the "just get any shot" crowd. Ms. Toad Apr 2021 #7

What if the specific reason is that you only want one shot ? JI7 Apr 2021 #11

Clearly. Consider mine the unadvice advice. Like an unbirthday or the uncola. NT littlemissmartypants Apr 2021 #16

That's as valid as any other reason. Ms. Toad Apr 2021 #15

Making an informed choice about the vaccine you want is just as valid Ms. Toad Apr 2021 #19

There is a choice. Ms. Toad Apr 2021 #22
