[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2403628, member: 365308"] I think you should consider the risks of a covid infection (much more well known) vs. the risks of the vaccine (not really well known yet). The overall risk of death across the population is 0.15-0.23% (WHO paper Dec. 2020) but as a type 1 diabetic you would multiply that by 3 (Professor Karr's analysis May 2020 - he's the NHS diabetes lead). If you are obese then the risk increases and being female helps reduce it but age is on your side especially if your blood sugars are well controlled. Ultimately we just don't know the side effects for a younger woman from this vaccine as we are in the live trial part of this and there 's a lot of pro vaccine information to encourage you to take it and of course the threat of vaccine passports or the ear that being unvaccinated will harm others who are vaccinated. Ultimately it is YOUR individual risk and you should decide on that basis only. [/QUOTE]
