A member asked:
What if you get covid a day or two after getting your covid booster shot? will it be worse? how does the booster interact with getting the virus so shortly after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After the vaccination, protective antibodies are produced, and a natural antibody response occurs during the infection itself. Both responses help to control the severity of the infection. The response to the vaccination tends to be stronger. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, prolonged cough and stay well hydrated.
