If you’re an absolute idiot, yes. Please do. For the rest of the world, take the vaccine if you’re worried about being one of the unlucky few who require hospitalization. We know who is most at risk now. If you fall into a higher risk category, you’d be stupid not to get the vaccine. This isn’t a new concept. It’s how the flu vaccine has been handled for decades.
