I received my first dose of the moderna vaccine on saturday, april 3. i then tested positive for covid-19 on sunday, april 10. i have a pretty mild case of the virus, and am recovering well. when is it safe (if at all) to get my 2nd dose?

Please speak to your doctor about this. In general, if it is a 2nd dose of the vaccine, it is recommended that one still gets it. Generally, as long as one's symptoms are improving/gone, one should be fine to get the 2nd dose, on time, 1 month after the first.

Vaccination is recommended for those who have had Covid-19 infection. But the timing of the vaccination is 1 to 3 months after the infection. So you should definitely take the 2nd dose of the vaccine but do so after waiting for at least 6 weeks

The Bodies natural immunity is superior to any vaccine. But confirm you had the Disease , via your Dr. My experience is a more harsh rxn , sore arm , flu symptoms in your group of pts. on the later vaccine , when they go for it. Defiantly wait 90 days , if you choose to get the second dose. Congrats on getting Vaccinated. Pay extra attention to any high risk person’s needs in your life.

If you have current positive test of Covid -19, it will help promote immunity, but.to be safe, get your second Moderna shot on 24 April or later , depending.on availability.

I'm a bit of an outlier on this question. Although much of the argument in favor of vaccinating folks who have already had the disease is based on variations in circulating antibody levels, it is well known that the majority of the long-term immunity to diseases like this is based on memory T cells which cannot be measured easily. You are most likely already immune and will be so for 1-3 years.

By taking the first dose of Moderna you started the process of developing antibodies. That process takes about 4 weeks. Infection with COVID is like taking a booster dose. If I were you I would not take the second dose of Moderna as scheduled. Although that is a personal opinion not supported by research, I believe that you have enough antibodies to quell further infection.
