Those Who Have Had Covid/Those Who Have Had Reactions To The Vaccine

[pastafreak]

I'm wondering if there is any relationship between the above. Would those who've have had Covid...knowingly or not...respond differently to the vaccine?

I had positive test for Covid March 2020 and had 10 days of hell. Not hospitalised but the illest I've ever been in my life. I've just had the Pfizer vaccine on Friday and no side-effects what-so-ever.

I’ve not had COVID and had the Pfizer vaccine.
Bit of a sore arm for a few days, and a vague headache for 24 hours the day after the jab.

there doesn't seem to be any link so far

I tested positive for covid just before Christmas. I had a fairly mild case, just a headache and sort of chest infection for a week or so. I had the AstraZeneca vaccine about two weeks ago and didn't have any reaction at all.

I had Covid/long Covid from early January last year right through until September/October.
Other than the mildest of sore arms for 1 day, I had no reaction to the Pfizer jab.

I had the virus in March last year, luckily, although l felt bad for a few days, I got off quite lightly. I'm taking part in covid studies and have had two positive tests for antibodies. I had the AZ vaccine on 15th Feb and apart from a sore arm, no reaction.

// respond differently to the vaccine?//
you would expect this logically ( er this is AB I know)

because one has been infected and one not
BUT various points arise

Trump who deffo had it was vaccinated as well as the response to infection is know to be mediocre.

BUT a lot in england 'had it' if they had the Big Three - temp, cough and malaise. This is not a good discriminator

so the data is being collected -

this is aprelim report on 100 patients

remember in UK we are talking about millions

No, I work in a hospital and like a significant number of my colleagues have had Covid. Most of us have now been vaccinated,some had flu like symptoms for a 24 hour period, others like myself had no reaction.

i have no idea if i had covid before Christmas but was unwell for almost three weeks. I was tested for covid whilst in hospital the weekend before last, no one came back and said it was positive, so assume i don't have it, but did have horrible side effects on Feb 6th after the vaccination.

Had horrendous covid last August, vaccine just over a week ago, sore arm for a few days, bad headaches for two nights in middle of night! However, give me the jab anytime as I've experienced the alternative.
