VAERS reporting of symptoms after COVID-19 vaccine

After receiving my first Pfizer vaccine, along with a sore arm for almost a week, I had the symptoms of COVID 19 for 3 days. I was right in bed for one full day. I am leery about getting the second vaccine. Any advice??
I had COVID 19 in January 2021 for a month. Was bed ridden and on oxygen for the majority of that time.
I took am grateful for this site. I have learned a lot and know that I am not alone in this. Thank you.

Hello Lynn, I would say your reaction is about typical of what I have heard for people who had the vaccine shortly after a Covid infection. It really means your immune system was doing its job, ramping up your immune defenses.
For most people, the current CDC and Pfizer recommendations are to receive the second dose as scheduled. I know the issue is being reviewed for people who had Covid and a strong reaction to the first dose, but skipping the second does is not advised at this time.
As to your personal situation, this is a question for the provider who cared for you during your bout with Covid.
