Your choice nobody can make you have it, but honestly the second one will be fine x

Thank you all! I needed that reassurance! It's crazy how the media buzz can impact you... In the NL at some point they almost made it sound like this vaccination is just dangerous. :/

I think that the problem originated partially in the fact that I felt like I have no choice. I hate to have that feeling and I tend to rebel against any and all "you have to/you should".

My 2nd dose is today and I have not cancelled it. Im going even though Im scared, but this time Ill take my husband with me for support.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just go and take things as they come and if you decide not to have it, that's your decision and you are in control of that. If you have the jab then that's great and you'll have that bit more protection should you want it.

Good luck and let your husband help and support you today!

Thank you Pulisa! I got the shot at 16:00 today. It went much better than the last time. No palpitations, no breathlessness, no feeling of weak pulse. I had a moment where I felt that my throat is closing, but I was offered a glass of water, and it went away. The staff knew that I was nervous and they were so sweet! I got a chair to sit outside, and breathe fresh air. One of the nurses was there with me all the time. We chatted all the time and she said that I can stay as long as I want. My husband joined us and I ended up leaving after 25 mins because I felt so good.

I'm happy and relieved I took the 2nd dose.
Many thanks to everyone who took their time to reassure me, and help me with my doubts!

Thank you! I'm sure glad I got vaccinated at the doctor's in my little village.
