My second dose (Pfizer) really kicked my ass, but only for about 24 hours starting about 12 hours after the shot. Definitely worth the enhanced peace of mind now.

I started feeling rotten later that same night, severe chills so I just went to bed. And I still felt awful the next day, more chills and I felt so woozy that I wasn't sure I could get out of bed. I also felt nauseous. But that was about it, it only lasted for about a day and I have to say that I was extremely relieved to finally get the vaccine. In the beginning, it wasn't available around here. These days they have walk-ins! I got mine in March, took my brother for Pfizer shot #2 at the nearby state run walk-in clinic last week. Good for you and hope you don't feel bad - I've learned experiences vary...

that got the injection. That helped keep the pain way down for me. I received this tip here at DU.

It was Moderna for me too. The side-effects weren't bad. I started feeling pretty fatigued about 24 hours later. Checked my temperature at that point, despite not feeling warm at all, and it was 101F.

No more side-effects by the next day, except the arm was still barely sore.

Arm hurts, but exercising it right now. We'll see when I wake up later how I will feel
