And is still unvaccinated. She was going to get it earlier, but her boyfriend got his first, and was one of those few unlucky people who had a bad negative reaction. So, that scared her into putting it off.

She still wants to get it, and is finally getting past the fear... but now she has decided to wait until there is a new vaccine that will also protect against the new variants...

Argh!

Wife and u spent last weekend practically begging her to get what's out there NOW, and worry about a booster later.

But, she is stubborn. Nothing will get her to do something once she has her mind made up.
