I'm not a younger folk but my immune system kicked ass. Fourteen hours after my second Moderna shot, I wound up with a 102.6 fever with the usual effects of a high fever. By that night, my temp broke and by the following morning I was back to normal and good to go.

Now I understand why I never get sick, not a flu or even a common cold for many years. I'm happy to know I've got the immune system of a much younger person.
Maybe that improved immune system is due to huge doses of caffeine from the coffee bean.
