Vaccine side effects versus disease vulnerability?

Wondering if there is a correlation between side effects and potential disease vulnerability? ie the greater the side effects the more at risk you would have been to severe Covid infection.

Intuitively this makes sense but many report greater side effects after the second dose.

Most of us should have had one or two jabs - how did side effects split between those who are particularly vulnerable, perhaps very low WBC, Lymphocytes etc, and those who are fit, healthy and normal counts?

I had my Oxford jab this morning and feel fine. I’d describe myself as fit and healthy but low counts, lymphocytes under 0.5.

I was wondering the same - I’ve had no side effects and am almost disappointed LOL :). Thought “is it working?” But then I wondered if there’s a connection on disease severity. ESP as 20% have severe side effects (same % as get severe disease....)
