Got my 2nd Covid shot (Moderna) yesterday. Other than a slightly sore arm

I feel fine.
no side effects of any kind really.
I'm tired today but I only slept 5 hours last night because my Siberian Husky woke me up at 5am with an agenda.
Wife got it in Dec and Jan because shes a nurse and essential worker.
Feeling better about it all for the first time in months
Keeping safe and our guard up anyway.

I had a sore arm. Possibly some fatigue, but this time of year I am very low energy anyway so that may not have been a reaction... Husband had some chills for a few hours but that didn't last. I had been expecting much worse. I will feel better about it all after the 2 weeks it says it takes for antibodies to be in full force. And it won't change our behaviors at all, though I am a little eager to get a new couch, I've waited a year already...

Isn't it amazing the positivity that can be had with inspiring leadership and effective planning that leads to a program of healing and hope for ALL Americans.
No, we're not out of it yet, and yes, there will be continued 'potholes' in the road to success (thank you, RepubliQan governors!) but it feels good to think, believe, and trust that we've turned the corner and things are on the right path.
I too had both Moderna shots and very little problem (sore arm) with either. It DOES make the world seem brighter!

Makes me feel a little better, somewhere I had read of a couple of folks with more severe reactions (headaches and fever) so hopefully mine won't be that bad...

My friend received his second dose the day before yesterday. He’s 66, no symptoms with either dose.

We both received our 2nd Moderna shot yesterday as well. Slightly sore arm and we’re feeling a tad “off” today.... tired and like we’re coming down with a cold, but nothing Tylenol can’t handle. Tomorrow should be back to normal. So glad it’s behind us!

several of my colleagues have had fever and chills. I was very tired and groggy after #1 so I'm a bit nervous.
