I'm wondering why people who have had covid, especially in the last 6 months would get the vaccine? There is no study to suggest immunity from the vaccine is better, or longer lasting than immunity from infection. If it's been a year since a covid infection I could maybe see getting it. That means you'll need a yearly booster shot though.

Moderna here.
The first one I was fine except for a sore arm for a few days.
The second one I had what I would equate to a bad hangover for a day. No energy, chills and a headache. I wound up taking the morning off work and got up and at it for a few hours in the afternoon.
Of everyone I know who has had both shots, it would appear the first one goes fine and it's about 50/50 on being sick after the second.

I had my first Pfizer shot one week after being cleared from having COVID (not ideal but that was when my appointment was scheduled and was given the ok to do so). I got the shot at 8am and at exactly 8pm started having chills. They lasted until 8am the next morning. I still was dealing with a cough and fatigue from having COVID and that continues on for me over a month later, but started to improve this weekend. My husband did not test positive for COVID when I had it and he had no reaction to his 1st Pfizer vaccine. We get our second this Friday so hopefully they go well for both of us.
Had a co-worker get a 103.5F fever after her 2nd shot. I don't think she went in, but something that high, I'd personally be a bit concerned.
I just had sore arms with both Pfizer doses. My wife and daughter had pretty bad reactions to the 2nd dose and we all got them at the same time. They were laid up for 24-36 hours or so. Funny thing is, I'm by FAR the most unhealthy of the 3 of us. They theorize my fatness insulated me!
If you have read anything about the vaccine or talked to folks who have already received both shots, it should not be surprising to have side effects.
My first Moderna I had a slight headache, body chills, and was fatigued. Second shot I woke up with a bad "hangover" and had two asprin, coffee, and two breakfast burritos from McDonalds and within an hour I felt normal. Everyone is different.
Drink lots of water and stay hydrated for 24 hours before and after your shot.

Its free and takes 5 seconds. You can go argue about this stupid **** in the regular CoVID thread.
575,831 people have died from their reaction to the virus.
0 people have died from their reaction to the vaccine.
I did it to give myself my own booster to help protect those around me that much more.
2nd dose was likely unnecessary though and should be for most people unless they're vulnerable or struggle with cell deficiency/etc.
I've had one dose of the Pfizer so far. No major physical response other than tiredness the second day.
I just can't understand the thought process in opposition to this. My personal favorite is the "they haven't had enough time to study long term effects" crowd, as though we have any ******* clue what the long term effects of Covid are.
Got mine Saturday and was a little tired, but not much else. It was better than the first. Firs shot gave me a dull headache and a sore arm. Second, sore arm.
We certainly don't--agreed. And some may find that out, much to their chagrin, down the road.
They recommend you get vaccinated when you are eligible even if you had Covid because they have mixed results on duration of natural immunity. They have a pretty good idea that some of the vaccines still work for six months. Husband has co-worker who got Covid again four months later.
Son got his because he started new job and they want everyone to get one and were giving them at work. So far all they have had him doing is watching training videos from home. Also as a long hauler, he was hoping it would help with that as there was some evidence that it has helped some people.
My favorite part of feeling hung over post-shot is how it's something I literally did to myself 2-3 times/week for years on end except MUCH worse, haha.
Pretty sure that's not true. But yes, the vaccine is probably a good idea for the majority of people.
I had barely any reaction to either of them. DH, on the other hand. had quite the large hot red area around the injection that was, according to him, quite painful. I even took a picture one day so we could check on whether the inflamed area was getting better without needing to rely on memory.
Our second Pfizer shots are set for this Saturday. I had no reactions to speak of the first time, except for a tiny yellow bruise area 4-5 days later.
Why you should get a COVID-19 vaccine – even if you’ve already had the coronavirus
If you've already had the coronavirus and recovered, you might be tempted to give the vaccine a pass. A scientist explains why the shot offers the best protection against future infection.

We actually are seeing lots of long term effects from covid
