I'm debating whether to get the Vaccine and I'd appreciate some recommendations
I had a severe case of COVID in Dec last year, hospitalized, forced air Vent, almost, but not intubated.
Treated with, among other things, Antibody Plasma and Remdesivir.
I had pneumonia for a few months but it cleared up in late February.
Only remaining symptoms at this stage are back aches which may or may not have anything directly to do with Covid.
I've asked on here previous why the CDC said not to get the vaccine within 3 months of the antibody plasma treatment and I understand the reasoning is down to vaccine effectiveness post that treatment and not due to any likely negative reaction. I spoke to my primary care physician in June and he said that it wouldn't significantly help and it probably wouldn't hurt and that it was up to me.
My latest blood test (received today) still shows the presence of antibodies.
So, my questions are as follows.
1) Will the Vaccine provide any additional protection against future Covid infections not granted by current natural immunity?
2) Will the Vaccine result in any risk beyond the well documented reactions? Could it interfere with, damage, reduce my natural immunity?
3) If I were to get the Vaccine, which would be the recommended version?
Thanks in advance
