I felt basically nothing from my Moderna shot. My arm was a little tender on day 2. Can someone add a poll to the thread for this stuff? Cos I think most of the people posting about side effects are the ones who have them so it could be a bad sample.

Every single person I know who's been vaccinated has had side effects. A few even told me if they knew beforehand "they never would have gotten the drat thing" and cancelled their second appointments.

For anyone who hasn't been vaccinated / had covid yet in the UK Valneva have started recruitment for their covid vaccine. https://www.ukcovid19study.com/ It's a more traditional inactivated whole virus as opposed to mRNA or adenovirus based but the phase II results look solid and it may have a milder side effect profile (data is kinda iffy on this). It's two doses a month apart so you'll be fully vax'd up faster.

It's been a couple days since my second moderna shot and the worst I got was a very slight but annoying lingering headache and a bit of fatigue the day after. Nothing major. Woke up this morning and felt great. Went for a three mile run with no issues. Friend of mine wasn't so lucky and got hit hard, like full on flu symptoms.

Re: side effect chat, my boyfriend's uncle who is in his late 50's early 60's got his shot (AZ) and felt nothing but a little arm soreness. He's also in great shape (dance instructor, bike rides all the time) so not exactly the average pillowy goon.

No side effects from the first Pfizer shot for me, other than a mildly sore arm, but that wasn't really any worse than I'd get from a flu shot. I'm getting the second shot tomorrow, though.

Around 11 PM, my fever was at around 101 F. Took some Aleve PM and went to bed. I have some vague impressions and recollections of thrashing around drenched in sweat. Slept in until 9:3o - That might have been the Aleve PM's doing. Temperature is back to normal now, and I feel about 75% human which is within the normal range for me.

Second shot of Moderna in two hours. I don't know exactly how I'm feeling but there's probably a German word for it. Some combination of relief, anxiety, excitement and fear of having bad side effects.

My arm is already starting to hurt and it’s only been two hours. The first one started hurting around five hours in. I definitely felt the second shot more than the first one.

Just got my first Moderna shot in Spain. I'm a nurse and they're just getting to me. No idea when my husband and the general population will be eligible but it's not great. No side effects yet, 3 hours post-jab.

Just wanted to let everyone know I got vaccinated, J&J single dose, thank you for your concern. I drank a lot before and after, so I projectile vomited a bunch ~12 hours later and spent around 24-36 hours in bed, missing work. Not sure if the vaccine was effective or not, so still wearing a mask to cover my goony face whenever I go out in public and/or turn off my monitor.

I work in the dining department of a retirement community so I got my Pfizer shots a while ago but the second one floored me for four days. Tired, ache, couldn't get warm. I still wear my mask everywhere, it's a solidarity "we're not out of the woods yet thing" and I have permanent stankface, all my facial composure is gone. When I'm out in the world my mouth is either set to "hard determined line" or war grimace. I have Judge Dredd mouth, and must hide it.

Pfizer two hosed me up for a while but I’m not sure if it was as bad as Pfizer One. I worked through Pfizer One so naturally everything felt worse but I also got some weird side effects like blurry vision (I’m usually a bit nearsighted, and my close up vision was fine, but anything that was usually a little blurry was noticeably blurrier. It’s like a .001 percent side effect) that I didn’t get the second time around. Both lasted for three days for me.

Im right handed and didn’t want it to be out of commission especially knowing how much the first shot hurt. It was painful to even move my left arm, let alone change clothes.

I mean I realize some effects are worse than others but there's no way it's worse than the alternative. I've hosed myself up on bad batches of e way worse than the vaccines could ever do, and having some flu symptoms for a day or two is not that bad if you've ever been sick before in your life. I'm not dragging you, to be clear, people skipping their second shots because they're pansies just pisses me off.

After hearing about people skipping second doses, it was a relief to see the same three people coming back for their second shot that were there the same time as me for the first one. Like a weird vaccine reunion at a Walgreens.

I can see the misguided thought process. My vaccines got me sicker than the actual virus did for some people I know, it’s not just a flu vax “feeling crummy for a day” thing. It comes down to how much of a dice roll this virus is and if you haven’t seen how sick it can make you it’ll gently caress with your risk perception.

They pretty much knew nothing about the vaccines at all either way and were just pressured by family members to get it. One guy told me "serves me right for listening to a loving kid for medical advice."

i really think a lot of people, for one reason or another, just haven't had experience with anything medical. they haven't confronted their mortality or any aspect of disease, so they're total weenies about simple things like getting a vaccine i'm pretty sickly and always have been, have seen lots of doctors and hospitals, getting a shot that may or may not make me feel like trash for a day or two exchange for immunity is a no-brainer

I got real achy and tired for days after my shots, and felt weird and fatigued for a good week after my second one. Might be coincident with something else, but I also got a 'dirty' feeling in my chest, like I'd been breathing wildfire smoke, just a milder form of it. Makes me wonder what the actual cro woulda done to me.

I'm almost 24 hours into Pfizer2 with no side effects so far. This time around I made sure to exercise my arm before and after the shot as well as intermittently throughout yesterday and today, and the soreness is much less than pfizer1 was during the same timeframe. It feels very slightly worse than an average flu shot soreness right now. Here's hoping this continues and I don't unexpectedly get floored.

I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but my thoughts are if the vaccine knocks out someone, chances are the actual virus would have done a lot more damage. AstraZeneca will probably be the first one available for me. I'm hoping that when supply catches up we can take more than one version. Gotta catch 'em all.

I mean, I got super tuned up by both so it’s kind of my thinking as well, also there’s been studies about serum proteins in fatal vs severe vs mild cases that shows some significant immune response effects.

I just got #2 and they poked me while I was feeling the paperwork and I was a little shaky just because of the emotions I mentioned earlier. Four minutes into my 15 minute wait, hope they don't count nervousness/anxiety as a reason to keep you.

Nah, it’s more common than not even with the drat near imperceptible needles they use for this shot. There’s people that completely pass out when they need a blood draw. You’re fine.

Well the good news is that if they got wrecked by Dose 1 they probably already had COVID, and they will have a very robust immune response from 1 COVID + 1 mrna vax!!

Just got my second Pfizer shot. The pharmacist suggested to hydrate well to help lessen side effects as well as the usual advice of massaging the injection site area to lessen pain there. I'm less hyped for shot 2 but I'm sure I'll appreciate it before long since my dad is already planning a road trip next month.

https://www.reuters.com/business/he...ine-2021-05-07/ Has this been here? So after all shady businesses, getting funding to upscale production and still missing shipments to EU, and dishonest tactics with the production being put to "non-accredited facilities" to avoid regulations and government oversight, AZ also faces a case of Pandemrix-style side effects.

To cure your fear of needles why not simply wake up with an IV line in the back of your hand connected to the bag replacing all your blood! Worked for me!

Pfizer 2 was on Wednesday this week. I thought it felt exactly the same as number 1 with a mild headache in the first 24 hrs until I realized that the pain in my armpit wasn’t workout DOMS, but that my lymph nodes on that side are super swollen. At least I know it worked. I haven’t seen that side effect discussed much but apparently it’s possible.
