Hello
Firstly you do not have a choice when getting the vaccine generally . You have to take the vaccine which is available at that very moment ! Both are similar in terms of efficacy and side effects just that their mechanism of action vary a bit !
As you have been tested COVID positive recently kindly get you COVID 19 antibody levels checked ! If they are over the roof you need to hold back a bit to get the vaccine as it might cause an hyper immune reaction which might lead to hospitalisation !
Kindly keep these couple of things in mind and you’ll do great !
