Reasons to be (COVID-19) vaccinated.

I have shared my reasons for being a COVID-19 non-vaxxer. It is appropriate that I not appear dismissive of the need for most to be vaccinated. You should be vaccinated for COVID-19, if:

1. You are older than 65;
2. You are frequently sick with colds, flus, and other viruses;
3. You have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher (BMI equals the body weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters-squared);
4. You have a waist circumference of ≥ 102 cm (40 in; in males) or ≥ 88 cm (35 in; in females);
5. You have a systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg;
6. You are diabetic (or high fasting glucose, ≥ 110 mg/dL);
7. You have hypertriglyceridemia (≥ 150 mg/dL);
8. You have low HDL-C (< 40 mg/dL, males; < 50 mg/dL, females);
9. Your immune system is compromised;
10. You do not meet the daily recommendation for physical activity (60 minutes per day);
11. You are involved in intensive training for sport;
12. You are on a severely restrictive hypocaloric diet;
13. You are a smoker;
14. You are under an unmanageable amount of physical or emotional stress;
15. You are at risk of transmitting the virus to an at-risk and unvaccinated person; and/or
16. You believe that vaccination is the right thing for you.

Be your best today; be better tomorrow.

Carpe momento!
