Teen has had COVID but no data/advice available whether to have vaccine to increase immunity

[yorkie8]

Hello,
My 15 year old daughter, amongst tens of thousands of other children & teens, has had covid 19 and has been incredibly lucky with only minor symptoms that have restored themselves/stabilised within 8 days.
I fully understand virus behaviors/hosts/transmission/anti-bodies etc. but cannot find reference or data regarding whether to vaccinate children who have been positive and recovered.
Do they have sufficient anti-bodies ? Can they get a different strain ?
Has anyone been in a similar position and made a decision ?

My two kids have both had Covid. Bit ill, but survived. They're not being vaccinated. I'm not risking any potential side effects to protect others (who've been vaccinated). It's ludicrous.

When did she have covid? If recent I wouldn't vacatinate.

*vaccinate

She's just out of isolation. I was projecting ahead (Jan/Feb) when there'll probably be a new variant. (She has asthma)

It is thought (proven possibly, not sure) that children do not develop much immunity through infection, therefore immunising them is still very important.

Same here, due vaccine in December so trying to decide

My 15 year old had covid recently (bit of a sore throat and headache) and had his vaccine yesterday, 29 days after his positive test. He’s having a lazy day says his arm aches but otherwise is fine. He wanted it, I wanted him to have it and am hopeful he will miss no more school.

Think its still advised to vaccinate even if you've had covid

I'm also wondering about this. Dc had Covid late sept and school are vaccinating next week. Are we better waiting a few months when natural immunity will have waned?

DS was vaccinated last week, five weeks after having Covid. My understanding is the infection won't have conferred as much immunity as the vaccine can.

My dd (15) had vaccine 5 weeks after having covid. I wasn’t keen on them getting it but she wanted it.

My 13yo will be having the vaccine once he is past the 28 days. He was quite poorly with Covid so I’d like to give him as much immunity as possible from getting it badly again.

Doctors recommend the vaccine after having had Covid.

Statistically having had covid and vaccinated gives the strongest protection. Think of it as the vaccine giving the immune system a refresh.

Most people I know who had the vaccine after immunity had side effects similar to their reaction to infection, but lesser in duration and severity.

Anecdotally I saw lots of kids get infected at school last year and staff for that matter but no reinfection after 6 months.
