Hi all, I think I'm just looking for someone to bounce my feelings off of -

I work in the service industry, so I am constantly exposed to people all the time. I contracted COVID in August and had absolutely no symptoms other than loss of smell for a few days. I am in very good health and am truly not worried about COVID for my own self.

I have constantly been flip-flopping about getting the vaccine. My anxiety about it is THROUGH the roof, no matter what I tell myself. I want to be socially responsible and make sure I do the right thing, but I'm also terrified of making the wrong choice. I don't want to get sick from a vaccine when I know the virus didn't even touch me, and I feel it's unlikely I will contact COVID again any time soon, if ever.

I have an appointment scheduled for my first dose (Pfizer) tomorrow and I'm a ball of anxiety.

Am I being irrational? By no means am I against the vaccine, I just can't decide if it's the right decision for me personally.
