Just the opposite, with a cardiac history you should get it as soon as it's available to you. 

NO !

I agree with Tracey 100%

If you had asked the question  " Is there any reason a person with a pacemaker should not avoid being killed by Covid-19 ?  "  ,  the answer is identical !

and the earlier you can get the vaccine, the better.  Serious side effects from the vaccine are rare, whereas the side effects of being exposed to Covid-19 are well known and can be fatal, so please protect yourself, your family and all those you come into contact with by getting the vaccine as soon as you can.

Not at all

A pacemaker isn't an excuse to avoid the covid vaccine.  You're going to have to find another.

You know you're wired when...

You invested in the Energizer battery company.
