I got the initial Pfizer set of vaccines fairly early and developed very few antibodies (I have been on biologic meds for arthritis for over 15 years). I waited a few months and got the Moderna set with improved results. I think I've had about a dozen injections in all at this point, since 2020. I did finally have a mild case of Covid in late 2022, had an infusion and took paxlovid under my physician's care. My worst symptoms were a very bad cough (they also prescribed a prescription cough syrup). My oxygen never dropped very low, I was lucky. But 2 years into it we knew a lot more than we did at the beginning.
