Reaction to vaccine v reaction to covid

[dancingmumma]

I understand this isn't known scientifically, but I'm wondering if there is any correlation between how you react to the vaccine vs how you react to covid based on peoples experience?

For example, my mother in law was double jabbed and had quite strong side affects that made her feel quite unwell after and she was very unwell when she caught covid and is still suffering now 3 months later, but I have a friend who had no side affects to the vaccine and when she caught covid, she was completely asymptomatic!

I had an asymptomatic case of covid, but have ongoing side affects from the pfizer vaccine, including chronic joint pain and heart palpitations, neither of which I had ever experience until after the vaccine.

It could also be the opposite. Stronger immune system reacts to vaccine more but stronger immune system more likely to tackle infection before getting symptoms. Suspect there isn’t going to be a clear correlation.

I had no side effects from my first 2 Pfizers but with the Moderna booster I was really unwell.

My mum was very ill with covid, for weeks. We suspect she has long covid too. She has also been ill for a week after each jab, so much so, she was undecided on getting the booster. She ended up getting it in the end (and was poorly for about 4 days) She doesn't want anymore jabs anytime soon.

No reaction to vaccines, not even a sore arm.
Hospitalised with covid.
