I wish people would be respectful of how others make their decisions. <br/>I have not received any of the COVID vaccines. Initially, my decision was based on how little information there was for the HIV-positive community and the vaccines. I even discussed it with my ID doctor and we both agreed that it was best if I waited until there was more information. <br/>At this point, I have had COVID and I received the COVID antibody infusion. Combining this with what I know about how the vaccine is supposed to work, I do not feel it is necessary to get the vaccine. Especially since it is not effective in preventing you from getting COVID (it is just supposed to make you hopefully not get as sick from COVID). <br/>But this is for me personally. Prior to my diagnosis, I never got my flu shot or anything along those lines. - Heather R (team member)</p>
