Hi,

Thank you for the query on this platform. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from anxiety disorder and you have phobia of getting vaccination from your childhood.

Phobia is a type of anxiety disorder that is characterized by unusual and intense fear of something of something which is unlikely to cause any harm. You have phobia of getting vaccination against Covid-19 infection due to its possible side effects, though you have also fear of getting Covid-19 infection.

Every medication has its own side effects but those side effects affects all people, it is not like that. Its side effects may not affect you. Side effects are also mild like headache, low grade fever, joint pain, body ache, nausea, allergic reactions etc.

Vaccination against Covid-19 is a safeguard. So, you should take this Covid 19 vaccine for your safety to understand the present situation of covid-19 infection and its various complications.

You can also consult a professional psychiatrist to overcome this phobia of getting Covid-19 vaccination. Some medications like benzodiazepines, anti depressants, beta blockers etc may help to control your phobia.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
