His reasoning was that I was more likely to get moderate side effects from the vaccine due to high antibody levels. He also noted that I shrugged off the initial infection and that it was highly unlikely for me to get infected again and in the event I did I would almost certainly have very moderate symptoms.

He did this contingent on the fact that I don't live near any elderly relatives nor do I socialize with anyone that is high risk. I don't socialize much at all really unless I'm outdoors.

I almost forgot to mention that he had looked at literature which stated that high antibody levels at time of vaccine could reduce its efficacy.

Frankly a lot of this is moving target so I'm keeping my mind open.
