19. I can't have any more mRNA vaccines because I had side effects so I've only had 2 doses

If the current vaccine actually prevented most transmission, I might put up with the side effects and get the booster, but this hasn't been the case with Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. However, if it turns out that Novavax will prevent transmission I'd be willing to pay $100 or more so I no longer had to worry about getting Covid and long Covid. As an immune compromised person, that would be worth a lot to me.
