Let's talk vaccines!

[Imbri]

Had to come back to change my vote to fully vaccinated.

I had a much easier time with this one than the first (I got Pfizer). This time around, my arm was a little sore, but fine by the end of the weekend, and I was very tired on Sunday (I got the shot Saturday morning). No headache and I didn't get the metallic taste like the last time.

Last night I was tired and dizzy. Today my arm is really sore and it has a bruise on it. I’m also still tired and I have a slight headache.

Oh dear. I hope that you feel better soon!

Out of curiosity and I hope you don't mind I ask, which vaccine did you get? My mother just got her first Pfizer shot earlier this week, and is also feeling tired and has sore arm. My dad also got Pfizer but interestingly enough has no reactions to it whatsoever. A friend of mine got J&J's before it's put on halt in the US. She said for her the side effects almost immediately kicked in; started from a really sore arm to leg pain, to fatigue, fever, and other flu like symptoms that lasted 4 days.... I heard the mRNA vaccines though will have more side effects showing after the second shot.

Since my state is now opened up vaccine to everyone aged 16 and above, I've been diligently refreshing the CVS page every 2 hours starting from 12am. Finally i was able to book an appointment when I refreshed at 6am yesterday. I'm getting the moderna shot this Friday.

I'm fully vaccinated, got my 2nd shot on March 12th. The one I got was Pfizer, I had no reaction to either dose, other than my arm being a little sore where the shot was given.

I got Pfizer. My dad also got both doses of Pfizer and he only had a sore arm. my mom got both doses of moderna and on the second dose she was tired, had a headache, and had swollen lymph nodes. I also have swollen lymph nodes now.

Good luck on your vaccine!

Today I woke up covered in sweat, so I may have had a fever last night. I have more energy than I did yesterday. My arm is still sore and my lymph nodes are still swollen.

later edit: I now have a rash on my left arm a couple inches under the injection site. I’m a mess lol

I hope your arms gets better.

I may get my first dose tomorrow (not sure which vaccine), I am not 100% sure though because my dad always has plans changing. pp

i’m getting my 2nd pfizer dose on saturday!! i’m lowkey scared for side effects, but my dad got the pfizer shot back in january and he showed no side effects at all with both doses. i’m just hoping my side effects won’t be super bad or hoping i’ll have none at all

I have a chronic illness which the medication for renders my immune system completely vulnerable and compromised. Back in early January, I was among the first outside those in the clinical trial and more specifically in my age group (18) to get vaccinated. Of course I was nervous, what if the side effects were bad? But in the end I weighed the gain over the potential loss and decided to go ahead and do it. I am extremely grateful that I did so even if when I went, the lady administering the shots questioned the validity of my condition and was wondering if I was telling the truth because I was so young. It wasn't until her supervisor recognized me as a chronic patient that she let up. Needless to say, I cried for hours after due to her rude behavior. I understand people have been faking conditions to get a dose, but just because I am young and appear healthy on the surface does not make me a liar and much less a criminal.

The second dose went fine, just minor cold-like symptoms the next day. The joint pain was the most excruciating part for me, but I pulled through and now have somewhat of protection against COVID! I am grateful that I can have a bit of weight lifted off of my shoulders.

I just got my second dose of the Moderna vaccine about 5 hours ago, so I changed my vote to fully vaccinated. Right now, I have arm pain just like I did with the first shot, but I'm also starting to feel some mild cold symptoms. My head is throbbing ever so slightly and I feel a tiny bit light-headed. There's also a strange taste in the back of my throat. But none of that is really bad and I'm hoping it will pass quickly.

My uncle’s partner had a “seizure” 12 hours after her second moderna. She was shaking so hard in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on my symptoms throughout the night.

Changed my vote to "gotten my first dose, waiting for second dose". Just got Moderna vaccine 2 hours ago from local CVS, so far so good, no symptoms really (knock on the wood). Although it seems like the consensus is that side effects after 2nd dose is typically worse. I also heard that those who got moderna second shot seem to have more symptoms than pfizer, but the severity of the side effects also appear to be highly individualistic, so finger crossed my immune system doesn't overreact too much....

Update: I received my second Moderna dose yesterday and today I feel awful. I have a lot of flu-like symptoms with a really bad headache, sore throat, aches and muscle stiffness, and chills. I think I have a mild fever but I haven't checked my temperature. It started to get bad last night about 6 hours or so after I got the shot. My arm also hurts at the injection spot and last night when I was trying to sleep it felt like my whole arm was on fire. But my arm is feeling a bit better today. Hopefully the rest of the side effects will go away quickly.

My husband received his second dose of Moderna as well and his only side effect is a sore arm. It really does affect everyone differently.

Still glad I got it.

i’m getting my 2nd dose of pfizer today !!! i’m trying to drink a lot of water before my shot because the cvs email i got said that it’d reduce side effects.

 

[King Dorado]

got my first Pfizer does about 24 hours ago.

so far, i've had arm soreness that seems to be starting to ease up now, but everything else seems good!

just taking it easy today and staying hydrated and rested

Back for another update. Two days after my second dose of Moderna and my side effects are mostly gone. I woke up last night sweating profusely but I think that was my body finally getting over the worst of it. As of this morning, I felt much better. I still have a small headache and my arm still hurts just a little bit, but all of the other side effects have passed.

 

[Maymeows16]

I got my first dose today and my arm still hurts quite a lot. It feels really sore and painful but besides that I just feel a little tired and a few minutes after the shot I was dizzy and nauseous. But that's basically it haha. It's uncomfortable for sure though o~O
