I had my second COVID vaccine this week.
Jan 22, 2021, 8:25 PM

Felt like crap for about 36 hours. Malaise, fatigue, muscle aches, chills, and even a fever for a couple of hours. This is all common with the second dose, and means that the immune system is doing its job.
I didn’t have any symptoms after the first shot, other than soreness at the injection site.
Just wanted to share for those who are getting the vaccine, or who are considering it.

I'm currently participating in the Moderna Clinical Trial. I received the first shot on August 5th, 2020 not knowing if it was the real one or the placebo. Arm was a little sore, about like a flu shot. I received the second shot 28 days later. The next 24 hours I had a low grade fever, arm was really sore and had a headache. Next day I was good. A few weeks ago all participants were called in to let the ones who got the placebo get the real thing. I was told I had indeed received the real thing back in August.

Glad you got the real shot and not the placebo.

Hey Judge, did you ever have COVID? (or is it that if you have had it, you don’t need to get vaccinated?)
Sorry about the painful post vaccination ills, but hopefully it will be worth the immunity!

No, I never had COVID.

We still aren’t sure how long antibodies last following COVID infection. It seems to vary from person to person.
The current recommendation is to get the vaccine, even if you’ve had COVID.

JK is right on this one. They originally thought I’d you had the disease you would have antibodies

For at least 3 months. Now they think it’s at least 5. They recommend vaccine even if you had it and say you’re immunity should be better than either alone. They are saying not to get it for 3 months if you’ve received the antibodies for treatment though. I received both doses of Pfizer and had no reaction. Usually I do with the flu.

I get my second two weeks from today. My arm wasn't even sore from the first one. Glad to know that there might be some side effects from the second so I will be prepared. I got the Pfizer, but guess it doesn't make any difference regarding the second shot.

Correct in that similar reactions on second shot happen 10-20% of the time. I does matter if you meant it doesn't matter which shot you get on second dose - must get the same one both times.

Dogmom and I snagged appointments today to get the first dose next Wednesday. Crossing fingers, toes, and Bowser's dew claws that the vaccine is actually there when the time comes. We be kinda old and wanting to get older. I can handle a day or two feeling crappy. Doesn't sound as bad as what the shingles vax did to us, anyway.

The shingles vax is a beast. The good news is the second one can be even much worse than the second. I have 2 physician friends who decided to bail on the second Shingrix vaccine as their first experience was so bad. I'm gonna do both, as getting shingles can be extremely painful and last a good while.
I had very little reaction to round one of the COVID Pfizer vaccine. I would encourage everyone to get it when they can. I want to see the Valley full and mask free come September!

Good information. I had the first Pfizer vaccine with zero side effects other than very slightly sore at injection site. I worked like a Trojan the afternoon I got the shot so it didn’t bother me one bit. Get the second on Feb. 6th. Since my friends healthy brother died from Covid recently, I am more than grateful to get the vaccine and don’t mind some side effects. I also got both Shingrix vaccines. Second dose did have some uncomfortable side effects but Ive also had shingles 5 times. If you ever have had that hell, you’d be more than thrilled to get the vaccine. Side effects are child’s play compared to the real thing. Good luck to everyone getting signed up!

Got my second vaccine last Sunday

I had my second vaccine (Pfizer) last Sunday. Felt awful from Monday afternoon until Tuesday morning. Body aches, chills, headache, fatigue. Much better by Tuesday evening. Totally worth it. Had to see patients all day Monday and Tuesday. The only thing I would have done differently would have been to take Monday and Tuesday off if I could. But the vaccine is our way out of this mess so I'm hoping that everyone gets access to it soon and takes advantage of it!
