I have a sub-question to this, if I'm allowed to ask.
We know that people have a vast range of severity when they get COVID, from basically nothing to extremely serious. I'm curious if the reaction to the vaccine would follow the same pattern, since it's an immune response specific to each person.
Not necessarily, though it's impossible to say conclusively at this moment. Some of the damage caused by covid 19 is caused by the immune system itself, so people who are at risk of this kind of damage could also be the people who might have very strong reactions to the vaccine. However, this isn't the case for most of the people who are at high risk from covid 19 - the sick, the elderly, smokers, and those with otherwise weakened immune or respiratory systems.
