Same here!

Right now I'm so confused about the vaccine situation. I know I'm in a very luxury position of being able to choose which one to get. But there is so much conflicting information! Last night when I couldn't sleep I did some googling. A lot of articles from around July mentioned that J&J was far less effective against delta, than articles from August/September saying it's very effective against delta in new research. Then in October Germany comes with the advice to get a second shot with an mRNA vaccine 4 weeks after J&J. While other countries are saying a second dose of J&J also offers very good protection, Germany isn't even considering it. My head is spinning

I decided not to get the Moderna shot today as I don't want to risk side effects when I'm traveling home in a few days. I might just pop back over to Germany while I'm there to get it though, if I can. Not sure if we can get a booster shot in a different state to where we live.

Last night when I was reading about the effectiveness of a second J&J shot I was even considering trying to get a second shot in NL - where my vaccination status isn't registered, I could pretend to get it as a first shot. But that would be kind of cheating the system.

I had zero side effects apart from a slightly sensitive arm after my J&J shot. Yes I'm a baby who's scared of the fever/chills/nausea that *might* happen after a moderna shot. Yes I realize it would be better than getting a serious case of covid but that is why I got the first bloody shot! And now they're saying that's not enough? Ugh!
Thing is like I've mentioned many times before - my biggest worry is long covid - THAT is the data I'm interested in, how does the vaccine protect against that? And maybe unknowingly passing it on to someone more vulnerable.
