I have the opportunity to receive the vaccine. Any reason not to? I feel guilty as someone in mid 30s, run and lift 5x a week. 15% body fat. Zero health issues.

Thank you for the necessary and relevant information about your body. 🙄

It's necessary and relevant because people with pre-existing health conditions (obesity being one of them) are supposed to be prioritized per the CDC's distribution plan. The guilt stems from his overall very good health. If he thought he were unhealthy or otherwise at risk, this wouldn't be a post in the first place.

If you were 16% body fat I would suggest you consider it but at 15% you should be good!

I say do it OP. You’ll be helping with the overall mass vaccination effort and people should blame the healthcare provider instead if they want to talk about priority patients vs. the rest of us

Agreed with this. Every vaccination helps the world, might as well take it if offered.

Why do you want it? There’s such things as side effects or adverse events. You need to decide if the risk of the vaccines is worth a reduced chance of severe covid.

You couldn’t pay me to take that vaccine without long term testing having been done

Go for it. Read that several vaccines are disposed off at the end of the day ( the ones that are already thawed, but not administered). Your decision could add meaning to a vaccine that would instead end up in trash.

I’m in the same boat. Just in my 20s. I’m not getting it unless I end up being required to. I wouldn’t feel guilty. This vaccine hasn’t been around long and I don’t take lightly to putting something in my body

like

I feel it is a no-brainer and you are unnecessarily complicating it. Don't confuse being fit with immunity against COVID. Take the vaccine if it offered to you IF you believe the vaccine is good for you. Sure there may be higher risk groups who have not been offered the vaccine yet, but you choosing not to get the vaccine does not increase their likelihood of doing so at this point and just puts you more at risk of being infected. I'd say everyone has a collective social responsibility at this point to wear masks, practice social distancing and get vaccinated to eventually slow/stop the spread of COVID.

Have you been antibody tested? I'd do that first if you have a moral dilemma, or just want to make sure that it would even be worthwhile to get the vaccine.
