To me, it speaks to how inevitable it is that any vaccine will give some people side effects, but that they are also quite likely quite rare.
My first shot gave me a slightly sore arm and quite a bruise (probably due more to the "skill" of the person who did the jabbing), and a bit of an "off" day after (napped a bit).
Second shot gave me even less of a sore arm, and I am now 30 hours past the injection and slept well last night, and felt fine all day - no nausea, headache, sluggishness.

(22,037 posts)About 10 hours after my second dose of Moderna, I got severe flu-like symptoms for about 12 hours. Then I was fine. My experience seems to have been extreme.
Congratulations on your full doses.

I can't wait to get mine! It will be a while though, I'm in my early 50s and don't have a frontline job.
