[RobertDevereaux]

1. My story as well.

Now to see my girlfriend through her J&J shot.

[Piasladic]

2. not at all! - Grats!

[msfiddlestix]

3. Well, me too then. Both Moderna shots, No effects. it's been over a month now since my last shot.

[idziak4ever1234]

4. All I had was a sore arm and felt kind of goofy for a day. Not bad at all.

[Mad_Machine76]

5. I mostly had none

I think that I ran a slight fever the day after my second shot but it wasn't debilitating, just felt a bit warmer than usual for part of the day. No biggie. I've never had any bad reactions to vaccinations to date.

[elleng]

6. GOOD!

Mild/vague symptoms after 2 Modernas, so in 1 week, I'm home free!

[bottomofthehill]

7. Like most, no side effects.

The vast majority of the millions of vaccines have no side effects. I am
Happy for you!

[Duncanpup]

8. Excellent

[WhiteTara]

9. I'm happy for you. I had the same results. nt

[BigmanPigman]

10. I do hate you. I haven't been able to get my first yet.

[DURHAM D]

11. Moderna and same here. nothin' nt

[ChazII]

12. Your news is terrific!

Only side effects for me was a slightly sore arm at the injection site and napping most of the second day.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. "You'll hate me......."

Nah! That's what you'd expect from Trumpsters and RepubliQans - of course they would!!!!

I'm happy for you - and if you're now 'safer' - so am I - a 'Win-Win' for everybody!

[Diamond_Dog]

14. I had the same experience

[EYESORE 9001]

15. I had my 2nd Moderna shot two weeks ago

All I got from either one was slight soreness in the arm for 2-3 days afterward. I was actually hoping for a stronger reaction from the 2nd one, which would reassure me that I was producing antibodies. Maybe my theory is wrong.

[electric_blue68]

20. Don't worry. They've said even with no side effects you're...

still getting as high as around 95% for Moderna, or Pfizer.

[Rorey]

16. I don't hate you

That's awesome!

[Xavier Breath]

17. Nah, we won't hate you for suffering no side effects from your shots.

So, I guess we'll have to dig up a legitimate reason to hate you

My wife and I are five-plus hours past our second Moderna shot. My arm is hurting like a bugger, but that's a minor annoyance compared to what some people have experienced. So we hope, like you, to remain side-effect free as we roll into tomorrow.

Good luck to us all.

[LisaL]

18. The best could be yet to come.

Side effects usually start about 8 hours after the shot.

[Xavier Breath]

21. Yeah, and I've read/heard enough horror stories about the second shot

to keep my imagination on tilt. But, the first went by with just a minor headache, so we're keeping all fingers and toes crossed.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. My 2nd Moderna Caused...

...roughly 14 hours of fever (but, no chills) and myalgia in the upper back.
Hit me a half hour after I woke up the morning after the shot, so around 5:30am.
By 7:30 that night it was gone.
So, no horror story here. Just felt a bit crummy for half a day.

[Biophilic]

19. Na, I don't hate you. I've had both shots. I'm thrilled, but I've been sick for 2 weeks.

We're all a little different, or maybe a lot different. I'm finally starting to feel better. I may have been my heart medication or just my body's reaction. Doesn't matter. I'd do it again. Much better than a ventilator and I'm helping my community. I honestly hope you continue to enjoy no side effects.

[electric_blue68]

22. Good for you. Just keep masking, and distancing. 👍

[gay texan]

22. got mine at 9am today

Nothing crazy thus far

[electric_blue68]

24. Good Luck 👍

[smirkymonkey]

42. I got mine at 10:15am today, and felt fine all day

until about 9:30pm. I feel like I am coming down with the flu. Achy, weak, very uncomfortable. No arm pain though. I don't have a fever or anything yet.

I read that women and people in the 18-59 year old range tend to come down with more side effects than men and people over 60. It has something to do with the way immune systems react.

Anyway, I feel like hell. I just hope it goes away quickly and that I can get a decent night's sleep.

Glad you are feeling ok!

[gay texan]

50. update, now 26 hours

i slept reeeeeeeeealy hard last night with strange ass vivid dreams. I nearly slept 12 hours. I'm feeling pretty decent.

[3catwoman3]

25. We won't hate you. We will rejoice with you...

...and for you -

[krispos42]

26. I had no problem with my first Pfizer shot.

Ask me 17 days about my second one!

[ProfessorGAC]

27. My Wife Was Similar

She had a couple hours of GI distress early the morning after her 2nd Pfizer. She was fine by around 7:30 that morning.
It wasn't zero, but was fairly uneventful.

[IbogaProject]

28. Nope just happy for you

Nope I'm just happy for you.

[Maeve]

30. Sore arm, maybe a bit tired

But that is pretty normal for me, so.....some reactions are because we expect reactions (yes, some are real but I knew just what my mom would complain of cuz I saw what she watched on TV)

[Saoirse9]

31. Well done!

Moderna made me pretty sick second shot.

[colsohlibgal]

32. Ditto

Same with me no issues either time.

[Aristus]

33. Hate you? I'm happy for you!

That's wonderful.

Nothing but love...

[MerryBlooms]

34. Yay, for you! My first Pfizer hurt less than the bruise I already had on my arm from gardening.

I used the arm they jabbed a lot, just as I do with my annual flu shot, and I didn't have soreness unless I applied pressure to the injection site. My second jab is on Wednesday. I scheduled for my days off, just in case. I am jazzed! My 77 y/o sis is getting her second Pfizer at the end of the month. She's diabetic2, insulin dependent, plus other issues. I will sleep in the living room with her that night to monitor her. She's been such a trooper through this whole mess, I am so proud of her.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

35. I had the Johnson & Johnson one and done,

and zero side effects. Yay! Lucky me!

[Polly Hennessey]

36. I was Pfizered and no side effects.

[Permanut]

37. Gloating?

Go ahead, you deserve it. Both Pfizer shots here with minimum soreness.

[USALiberal]

38. ?????

[Skittles]

39. I'm supposed to hate you - why exactly

I mean, good for you

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. I don't hate you

Congratulations on being vaccinated.

[Lettuce Be]

41. I'm having similar result - 2nd shot Fri afternoon. So far no issues outside sore arm

It was less sore the 2nd shot than the first though. Either that or I was a real baby the first time.

[dawg day]

43. I think these are really good vaccines

I usually have a reaction to the flu shot, had one with the shingles shot. But nothing now! And it's more effective than the flu shot ever is.

[Tree Lady]

44. I want to feel safe to feel the joy of being vaccinated

That you all feel. After I had bad reaction and sick for 4 days, I kept reading we can still get virus even with shots and I think does that mean I will get sick? That every booster shot I will?

I am grateful I won't die, but I don't feel safe to live life like before. We went out to dinner to celebrate two weeks after our shots and all I felt was scared not excited for a special time out.

I think its going to take me a long time to feel safe again.

[SeattleVet]

45. Our 2nd Pfizer was a week ago.

Both of us just had a slight soreness at the injection site, and nothing else. For m the soreness lasted a day or two longer than the 1st shot's did.

[roamer65]

46. No hate here.

Just glad to hear another DU’er becoming a “two shotter”.

[5X]

47. No reaction equals placebo.

Or, inoperative Gates/Soros chip.

[jmowreader]

48. Probably the second

[Buckeye_Democrat]

49. Happy for you!

Moderna for me, so I'm anticipating at least some degree of unpleasant immunological reaction. Still worth it! (I'll get the 2nd dose later this week.)

-----
Each dose of Pfizer’s contains 30 micrograms of vaccine. Moderna went with a much larger dose of vaccine, 100 micrograms. It means the company is using a little more than three times as much vaccine per person as Pfizer is. And yet, they aren’t getting better results. The government’s vaccine development program, formerly called Operation Warp Speed, has asked Moderna to test if it could lower the dosage of its vaccine without eroding the vaccine’s protection.

And a recently published paper:
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778441?
-----
A greater percentage of participants who received the Moderna vaccine, compared with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, reported reactogenicity; this pattern was more pronounced after the second dose (Table).

[LisaL]

51. I am getting over my second Moderna dose.

Side effects were definitely more pronounced than after the first dose. But not too bad. And I know my immune system got into high gear since I had side effects.
As for whether it is worth it-that's not even a question for me-of course it is.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

52. Thursday for me.

I'm so eager to get that 2nd dose! If I even feel pretty ill for a few days, I agree that it's worth it!

Then I'll finally be less of a hermit, a couple weeks afterwards when I should reach maximum immunity. Nothing dramatic, and still fully masked, but I haven't even walked inside a grocery store in over a year. It's all been pick-up orders.
