It means you were likely exposed to the virus and may not have known it. The theory is that the bodies immune system sees the virus again and produces a STRONGER response to fight it off. This is why people who know they had Covid get bad reaction to the vaccine. When I say bad I mean after 1st shot your arm is beyond a little sore (very sore) and you may have fever, chills for day or so. People never exposed get very little reactions beyond the norm. These people tend to get a stronger response after 2nd shot.
