Side effects from the vaccine vary are unpredictable and overwhelmingly mild and not related to the efficacy of the vaccine. Complete your vaccine with confidence. Taking acetaminophen 1-2 hours before the shot can help minimize side effects

Having no side effects is a plus, many have little or some mild effects. The vaccine works but having been exposed previously, you built up some antibodies and now are on your way to build up more protection. Your in better shape than most people.
