Same here, no vertigo before in my life - had it for both doses, longer the second time, still not 100% recovered. I even voluntarily filled in my info on the Pfizer side-effects page, but didn't hear anything back. Did you manage to find out what exactly goes wrong with the inner ear after the vaccine?

Still, regarding the study, it appears that taking the booster would be the better choice, considering most of us will catch the omicron variant at some point.

I filled out a VAERS report and never heard from anyone about it.

Unfortunately I haven't learned anything interesting about what the mechanism of action might be. Especially with respect to the most interesting question - does this reaction to the vaccine mean I might have had an even worse reaction to a COVID infection? There are plenty of people who report tinnitus following COVID.

The vertigo effect you describe, was that right after each dose, or at a later point.

It would be interesting to know more about this side effect.

It was 6 days after each of the doses. I posted my story on the VEDA forum's COVID side-effects post[0], which is now a whopping 800 pages long. The good news is that some literature is starting to appear on this topic[1], but I'm afraid that these kinds of side effects will be seen as noise in the grand scheme of things.
