A member asked:
If i got my first pfizer covid vaccine dose in february and take my second dose now, 6 months later, am i less likely to get worse side effects from the second shot than if i took it 3 weeks from my first shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily, but the second vaccination has been associated with more side effects than the first. Unless otherwise contraindicated, it is better to receive the vaccination.
