In reply to the discussion: Anyone had side effects from the Pfizer vaccine either the first or second shot [View all]quakerboy
(14,574 posts)I have been hearing that having had covid provides immune response roughly equivalent to getting the first shot in the two shot series, but being up front i have absolutely no idea what factual underpinning that may have or not have.
That said.. the two people I know best who definitely had covid.. had no immunization side effects. One younger, but tested positive test while having moderately strong symptoms (just below hospitalization required levels), and another older who was asymptomatic, but had many positive tests over a multiple week period while surviving a rampage in his nursing home that killed literal dozens.. Both now vaccinated with NO side effects. Not even sore arm reported by either.
And a nurse i know had fairly major side effects from jab 1 and only modest soreness from 2.
All of which to say I doubt we will know more than anecdotally for quite some time to come. If ever.
