I'm sort of a 4th category then.
I've already had the virus twice. The first time I only lost sense of smell for a single day and had a very mild fever for three days, and the second time was only caught because I was lazy and didn't get good sleep the night before, so I called out "sick" from work, and they made me get tested before coming back and I tested positive while being asymptomatic. Had I not called out, wouldn't have known at all that I even had it a second time. Nobody else I came into contact with for days prior tested positive either, I do always wear a mask around others, and even while in my car while in a drive-thru. Based on my experience of contracting the virus and being largely unaffected by it, I felt there was no urgent priority for me over others to receive the vaccine, since it's not beneficial to myself, so I waited until long after it became available to me before getting it, just self classifying as "lowest priority". I understand the concept "getting vaccinated protects others" but at the time I contracted it a second time, the vaccine was not available to me, so having just had it for a second time, it was significantly less likely for me to contract a third time within the following few months. I did just get vaccinated on Monday with the Janssen one and so far have had no side effects at all from it. |
