You BET I will, if/when it becomes available to me ( I am not in what is considered one of the 'high risk' groups, being a senior with no chronic health issues, and born before 1950!)
I have now gotten the seasonal flu vaccine for several years in a row; never had more than a transient redness/soreness around the injection site, and usually, not even that. I remember the days BEFORE a vaccine for polio-when we had to avoid our river 'Beach park' at Carlsbad, NM, due to outbreaks, and when one of my dear friends' older brother ended up w/ bulbar polio, was in an iron lung, and later died; my mother's oldest brother, then 19, died in the 1919 flu epidemic.
I don't believe that ANY vaccine is 100% effective;and, that there will ALWAYS be some people who will have a reaction to one or more vaccines. With EVERY person an individual, this is inevitable; to try to 'test' EVERYONE ahead of time for possible reactions, IMO, just isn't feasible nor reasonable, especially during an outbreak or when one is eminent. If you have compelling reasons to suspect you will have an adverse reaction, then yes, you should consult w/ your doctor about it BEFORE taking a vaccination...but to dismiss vaccination in toto is to risk going back to some VERY BAD 'old days', IMO.
I also received a 'booster' DPT three years ago, on my Dr's advice, and a shingles vaccination last year(I had chicken pox as a child). My Dr. has been mentioning the pneumonia vaccination to me for several years, but as one can only receive it twice, 5 years apart, I am trying to wait until I am (even!)older, as I plan on numerous years ahead!
As a teacher in my early twenties, I caught the mumps from one of my mid-school students; I ended up hospitalized for SEVERAL days, and was NEVER so sick, before or since...again, this was BEFORE a vaccine was developed. If you want to be reminded of how 'good' we generally have it today, just research how it was BEFORE many of today's vaccines...or worse, neglect proper administration of vaccines to those who need them, and find out the hard way.
