Don’t forget.
Because you previously had pneumonia (rare for someone so young) you’re in the second highest risk group for COVID.
When it comes to COVID you’re less healthy than the obese.

I am chided by some Getbiggers because I took/take reasonable precautions to avoid getting or having serious symptoms from COVID. The first time I had pneumonia was as a newborn. As a kid and an adult when I caught the common cold it would progress to bronchial or pneumococcal pneumonia. In addition to this, I have allergies which likely triggered several asthma attacks during my lifetime. At least one of which landed me in the ER.
Another common factor with risk of severe COVID symptoms is old age. I am literally a week off from being 78 years old. At least I am not also obese, or it would be 3 strikes and you are out, audios amigos!
Weighing the above against the possible negative side effects from COVID vaccines. Getting vaccinated was a no-brainer. Any rational thinking person would do the same.
When I had COVID last February, I was lucky in that I had none of the immediate common symptoms such as a headache, nausea, and fever. Not surprisingly, I did get pneumonia which my doctor treated with antibiotics. It took two prescriptions back-to-back to finally knock out the pneumonia. It is possible that COVID caused me some inner ear problems which have gradually improved. I could not get an appointment with an ENT doctor until September. It seems possible they are overwhelmed with ‘long COVID’ patients. .
