A member asked:
I had covid a month ago. my symptoms were mild-moderate. i've only received one shot of pfizer last summer and would like to get my second shot soon. will my side effects be worse because i've had covid? should i wait longer than a month?

A second vaccination is advisable. There may be mild side effects e.g. injection site pain but the protection from the vaccination outweighs the side effects. The response is not necessarily worse due to natural infection and the timing is fine.
