There isnt evidence on if a person should take COVID vaccine on empty stomach; however, as for all medications, there is a chance for common adverse reaction such as nausea, in which situation it would be preferable not to have full stomach; It is also advisable to avoid restriction of fluid to prevent dehydration before injection.
Yes it does not make any harm.
