If all mRNA have side effects like the current crop of COVID vaccines I’m honestly not sure they are worth it as a seasonal flu shot.

I’m not talking about the scare mongering of long term effects. Just the immediate.

The day after my second moderna shot was worse than any flu I can remember and many of my friends in their 20s and 30s had to take a day off after their shot. I know several people in their 60s who had to take several days to a week in bed from vaccine side effects.

That’s fine for ending a pandemic or curing HIV, but for seasonal flu?

In terms of lost labor days, my anec-data points to this vaccine seeming worse than a seasonal flu.
