3. My arm stopped hurting after three days

The day after, both my left (jab-side) arm and leg hurt, and my leg kept buckling when I walked up and down stairs. I had also been shoveling snow that morning. This was only the first shot. Folks should remember to avoid a hot shower or intense exercise two hours before or after the jab as I am told that can worsen the side effects. And bring a spare band-aid in case they don't put one on at the venue. My sister didn't get one and developed cellulitis it the injection site ten days later.

4. Mine, too, but it's not bad at all. Still fearful of the 2nd one a little though.

6. Had 2nd Moderna and the arm hurt much less than the first one

For the first shot my arm hurt pretty badly for about 3 days. After the second shot it didn't start hurting until about 24 hours later, the pain was minimal compared to the first shot and it lasted only about 1 day.

5. Mine did too for the first one. I had no side effects but just higher blood sugar. I thought I'd

7. Had my second Pfizer shot yesterday.

I feel unusually weak today but other than that no side effects or pain from the vaccine. Looking forward to resuming my life in two weeks.

8. Moderna 2nd shot is kicking my dad around heavy duty.

Full list of side effects, but it’s still better than a hospital ICU and a ventilator.

For me, it has not beaten the reaction to the H1N1 shot in 2010. That one still takes the cake for me.

10. I had my 1st today,

Moderna. So far a little lightheaded, a bit tired. No muscle aches yet, but it's been only 2 hours.

11. My arm hurt for both Pfizer shots

But one Extra Strength Tylenol did the trick. No other side effects. Fully protected this coming Friday! YAY.

12. Mine will after 2PM EST Monday

13. Ditto. I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Monday.

My arm hurt enough to cause a little discomfort yesterday, but much less today ... barely noticeable.
And like you, I feel wonderful.
