I got Covid despite a rediculous level of precautions, by my wife and myself. It was a typical flu for me although my temperature was never above normal. I had three or so days where my breathing was borderline frightening/difficult. I popped out of it. Then about 1.5 months later I got the Pfizer vaccine shot, the first of two. I had zero reaction other than a sore shoulder and a little tiredness for a couple of days, but it wasn't much really. Then my wife got the same Pfizer shot and within 20 minutes she was in an ambulance to the emergency ward of a near by hospital. She got two hits of epinephrin at the vaccination site, and one at the hospital. She had physical signs of being allergic to that vaccine within minutes, and has an appointment with an allergist next week. She says that she is still grateful to have gotten the shot despite her reaction, and she wants a back up shot after the allergist and doctor sort this out.
