Certainly not my 17th, but am up to date. As with the flu and other recommended vaccines. I am old enough to have consider the need to not get sick, with anything. So far, the only side effects were a day or so of lethargy. Haven't had the flu, had Covid (mild) once that was beat down by Paxlovid in a day or two. Know I have been exposed because I sat next to a guy own a 12 hour flight who was proudly anti-vax and developed it.

So, my and my wife and family's limited experience is that we got the shots and we missed bad disease. Your personal results may vary.
