What's the protocol here? I have had Covid/Covid pneumonia for the past 20 or so days and I'm sure I have another week of recovery left. How long do I wait before getting vaccinated.
How long to wait to get vaccinated after having Covid

I had to wait 90 days back in December when I had it. But I don't know if that's still a thing or not.
I had heard 90 days as well. Thanks. Maybe one of the docs will chime in.
curious... if you have had covid, why would you get vaccinated afterward? You already would have naturally generated antibodies that are far superior to anything the vaccine would do for you.
I honestly don't know. I always assumed I would have an easy case of Covid and have immunity after that and be ok. After the time I've had with this pneumonia, I don't want to take any chances. I'm still researching what to do.
Because I wanted Trump's lion blood. In all seriousness, I wasn't concerned too much about the vaccine and it allowed me to shed my mask while at work. My wife is a medical provider and all of the providers in her practice and at hospital got it and recommended me to do the same. I've heard plenty of cases of reinfection after having covid. I haven't heard of any cases (although I'm sure they're out there) of someone being reinfected after having covid and the vaccine.
90 days was based on the shortage of vaccine and knowing that anyone with prior infection had at least 90 days of immunity with low chance of reinfection.
At this moment, there's no need to wait 90 days. However, maximal benefit from the vaccine would be waiting until after your initial immune response from infection starts to calm down. For most people this'll be about 4 weeks after your symptoms end.
If it was me, I'd get the 1st dose about 5-6 weeks after contracting COVID. And then the second dose about 8-12 weeks after that. No good evidence to support those numbers. However, the idea is that the first dose will act as a second dose of vaccine (your infection acts as the first). The second dose acts as a booster shot. Hypothetically, you could extend the second shot out to 6 months, but I think that's straying a bit far from the manufacturer's recommended dosing interval. Again, no evidence to support, just a hypothesis based on what I've read here and elsewhere.

Granted I haven't looked specifically into it but I have seen zero recommendations for getting the vaccine after having covid but have seen numerous medical professionals and virologists that claim the vaccine is pointless if you have already had covid.
I'm not anti-vax but I don't understand the logic of injecting yourself with something that could cause harm (there are cases albeit few) if it isn't actually going to do any good either.

I would ask the docs who are treating your pneumonia.Jbob04 said:

I would also enroll in the Texas Cares antibody study to get a data point for where you are with natural antibodies. It is free, no downside to collecting more data.
A month after I had covid in May 2020, I had no detectable antibodies.chjoak said:

Interesting. I know people that had covid that still show antibodies 6-9 months later.eric76 said:A month after I had covid in May 2020, I had no detectable antibodies.chjoak said:

I don't know the answer, but my understanding is that vaccines work best when your immune system is functioning normally. After recovering from any disease, I think it does take a little while for the immune system to get back to normal. For this reason, I usually wait at least two or three weeks after I've been ill before getting a vaccine.Jbob04 said:

Great idea on the antibody study, I will check it out.
How Soon Can You Get Vaccinated After Recovering From COVID-19?

If you're unvaccinated and recovering from COVID-19 whether the case is mild or more severe you might be wondering how soon before you can take the necessary step to prevent a recurrence: getting vaccinated.
The risk of reinfection yes, it is possible is not insignificant. According to a recent study, unvaccinated adults were twice as likely to get COVID-19 a second time than those who got vaccinated after recovering.
"Anyone who can get vaccinated, regardless of whether or not they've had COVID-19, should do so," says Dr. Robert Phillips, executive vice president and chief physician executive at Houston Methodist. "At this point, there are just too many unknowns regarding how durable and reliable natural immunity is to feel confident about the protection it may offer."
Dr. Phillips adds that "what we know for sure is vaccine-induced immunity offers incredibly effective protection even against the Delta variant."
So, if you're ready to get vaccinated, here's what you need to know:
How soon can you get vaccinated after recovering from COVID-19?
"After testing positive for COVID-19, you will need to postpone getting vaccinated until your symptoms have resolved and you've met the criteria for discontinuing isolation," says Dr. Phillips. "This timeline can vary by person, depending on your symptom severity and the treatments you may have received."
If you have symptoms, the criteria for ending isolation include:
10 days have passed since your symptoms began;
24 fever-free hours without the use of fever-reducing medications;
Your other COVID-19 symptoms are improving
"Some of the other symptoms of COVID-19 may take quite some time to go away. For instance, loss of smell or taste can linger in some people," says Dr. Phillips. "You do not need to delay vaccination if you're still experiencing these more mild symptoms of COVID-19."
If you are not experiencing symptoms, there's one main criteria for ending isolation:
10 days have passed since your positive viral test
If you begin to develop symptoms during isolation, follow the "if you have symptoms" criteria above before getting vaccinated.
"Someone with an asymptomatic COVID-19 case can get vaccinated as soon as their isolation ends 10 days after testing positive. You don't need a negative viral test before vaccination," says Dr. Phillips.
One caveat: If you received monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you will need to wait 90 days before getting the vaccine.
"People who received either of these antibody treatments will need to wait about three months before getting vaccinated," says Dr. Phillips. "The reason for this is that the antibodies in these treatments might hinder you from developing a complete immune response towards the vaccine."
Talk to your doctor if you're not sure which exact COVID-19 treatments you received during your illness.
That CDC 'twice as likely' study is alone in those conclusions. Other studies worldwide show natural immunity works.Nosmo said:

But in this instance I understand the OPs concern as he was very seriously ill. Hopefully his doctors can help him decide what is needed.

Honestly, everybody should get vaccinated because it won't hurt anything and will improve health outcomes for everyone including those that have been previously infected. Why is getting the shot a big deal?

That doesn't seem right. Is it possible you had a false positive? Or that your immunity is not antibody based? Or you have an immune disorder?
For reference, the previous SARS virus showed natural immunity 15 years later.

Ivermectin didn't really do anything for me when my symptoms started. I thought maybe it kept it a mild case but then the pneumonia hit.
Not sure if helpful the kid got shot one , got the rona , was scheduled to get shot and were told to wait 30 after end of symptoms

I am and that is one of my questions I plan to ask tomorrow when I hopefully get discharged. I was just curious as to everyone's thoughts on here.
Trust your professionals! Sounds like they've taken good care if you so far!

My doc said at least 3 months.
There was some speculation last year that if you had a mild case you were less likely to develop immunity to it. Someone who had a mild case may need the vaccine more than someone with a serious case.SoupNazi2001 said:Nosmo said:SoupNazi2001 said:Nosmo said:

There are four coronaviruses that can cause a cold (this is not to say that all colds are cause by coronaviruses). If I remember correctly, any immunity gained from having a cold from one of those four coronaviruses only lasted about a year.
In other words, it is entirely fallacious to assume that the immunity from having had covid lasts for X amount of time just because the immunity from having had another coronavirus lasted for X amount of time.
Noone here is claiming that you have no right to refuse the vaccine if you don't want it.SoupNazi2001 said:Gordo14 said:SoupNazi2001 said:Nosmo said:SoupNazi2001 said:Nosmo said:

Because natural immunity works. I'm living proof of it. I had Covid in October of last year. Incredibly mild. My son just got it. I was around him constantly and didn't get it. I have zero risk factors. I'm not getting the vaccine as it serves no purpose for me.
