: Long Covid symptoms would be from having an actual Covid infection, not from the vaccines. It is not possible to get a Covid infection from the vaccines, only from an exposure to the Covid virus. Hopefully, he can be treated by a doctor who is familiar with treating long Covid. Good luck to both of you!

I had my covid vaccine booster about 7:30p, 2 hours ago. My first 2 doses I had earlier in the year caused me anxiety. I'm having runny nose and scratchy throat but I do have allergies and it's been raining. Is it to early for booster side effects?

If you got the covid vaccine(both shots) but no booster does that mean that you are not protected because it waned? So, It would be like not never getting the vaccine in the first place. The booster is just the same thing trigger an immune response?
