Covid shot question

[printman71]

I have had both Phizer.
First one - sore arm only
Second one - a minor head ache and muscle pain the next day, but nothing bad.

[Phoenix Jim]

No issues st all after my second. Wife was little tired with hers

I know several that had no symptoms on the 2nd dose. My parents and grandmother had no side effects from the 2nd dose. I did experience fever, aches, and chills for exactly 12 hours. Small price to pay to protect myself and others though. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.

I got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. My arm was sore most of the day but as of this morning no soreness or other ill effects.

[njbasscat]

I received both Pfizer shots. The only side effect I had was a bit of fatigue the same evening I received the vaccine. I'm 50 years old. I know people who have had headaches and slight fevers after getting the shot. They have told me that this lasts for a day or two. I would much rather roll the dice on a vaccine than getting Covid. I have a few family members that are not getting the vaccine because they are worried about the possible long term effects. What about the possible long term effects of having Covid I ask?

My parents (ages 92 and 93) and my MIL (age 94) all had zero symptoms from their two shot vaccinations. But they aren't a bunch of pansies either.

nothing

Mild body aches no big deal

I've had both Pfizer shots and no effects at all, i'm 53 years old. My 80 year old parents had it with no ill effects. Several coworkers have had flu like symptoms the day after the second shot of Moderna.

Younger folks are having stronger reaction because their immune systems are stronger. My wife and I (73) had a little arm soreness after first shot and more soreness after number 2. My twin brother felt tired second day after shot number 2.

Wife has had both with no issues. I get my second vaccine in a couple weeks. I guess I will see. Medical office that wife works at has 12 employees. 2 had noticeable side effects. One ran a low grade fever for a day. The other felt a little aches and pains for a couple days. The same way some people feel after the regular flu vaccine.

I had both Phizer shots back in Jan. Nothing but a sore arm.

[mbeachy]

only a sore arm for both shots

[Brownmaniac]

My dad didn't have any issues with the pfizer. He's 70

Our second is due on Saturday, will try and schedule for Sunday. The first Moderna was no different than the annual flu shot. If we have a day down with the second it'll be worth it. I can't wait to return to in person church and not cringe when eating out etc...

[Mark Perry]

A minor reaction is a good thing. It shows the immune system is working. The older you are the lesd likely you will have a reaction.

That's what I heard as well. Seems like the stronger your immune system is, the more reaction you have.

[kojimep]

Is there anyone on BBC who has had the shot with 2 parts that hasn't gotton ill for a day or so? Seems everyone says they have had some sort of illness for a short time after getting their second shot.

My wife has gotten both shots and had no side effects from either of them.

[Bsktball55]

I wonder why there are so much stronger reactions to this vaccine than other ones. I've never had more than a sore arm from flu shots or any other shots I've gotten.

[wstutts]

I took Moderna and first shot was nothing . Second shot I had a slight headache and sore arm
