@rcrossco_1 the risk of getting severly ill or even hospitalized, or of having long Covid symptoms after an infection is much higher than those rare side effects of the vaccination you're afraid of. Don't let your fears discourage you from making a decision.

I had my booster last week, and as both times before there were hardly any side effects. Only some reddish skin and swelling at that spot.

I think our issue with IBD is something completely different than such an infection. At least I myself could not tell that a normal infection (influenza) hits me worse than other people.
