I read recently that if you've already had Covid and get the vaccine, you'll have much stronger symptoms than a person who has not had it. Possibly stronger than the second dose for those who haven't had it. It also said that they're trying to determine if you even need the second dose if you've had it already.
Looked for it, but couldn't find the article. It was probably from ArsTechnica.com
^^^ This!
I found out after the fact and read up on that. The day after my vaccine was as bad as my worst day with covid with how tired I was.
Also, the stronger the symptoms = a stronger immune system response, which probably = better future immunity.
There are mixed opinions on whether those who already had covid need a second vaccine, and a study supported it not being necessary. But I'm probably getting my second one anyways. I have an appointment card.
