Q: does immune reaction to the 2nd shot of moderna predict level immunity? so does a large fever response mean better immunity vs no response to the 2nd shot?

: No relation of one to the other. The immunologic mechanisms responsible for adverse reactions such as fever are fundamentally different from those responsible for protection.
