My wife got the second dose on Friday and got very sick. She had 100-103 fever for 36 hours. Apparently it is a crap shoot if someone gets sick or not.

Pfizer or Moderna? Also, did she already have Covid at some time in the past (with significant symptoms)?
I had the same reaction after both doses of the Pfizer vaccine - about 24 hours afterwards, fever up to 101.6, tachycardia to 130 resting, BP up to 168/100, fatigue. Fevers subsided over 24 hrs. Had some additional muscle aches with 2nd dose (this was despite premedicating for the second dose with tylenol and ibuprofen every 6 hours begininng right before the dose).
I did have a pretty nasty bout with Covid back in May - didnt get hospitalized, but had constant fevers, shortness of breath (O2 sats in the low 90's) and fatigue for a week. When I had symptoms after the first dose of the vaccine, I talked with an ER colleague, and he said to come in. Only treatment was tylenol I took before I headed in, and fever and vitals slowly trended down over 4 to 5 hours - I didn't have any other reason for septic picture, so we decided not to get crazy with ruling out stuff. Decided that my body mounted a heck of an immune response, causing symptoms - so in my case immunity lasted at least 6 months.
Took the second dose just to have my card filled out because you know they are going to require that shit eventually to get on a plane...
