Not a typical headache, for me, but nothing debilitating by any stretch of the imagination. Just a dull ache that nothing I took helped. It lasted for just under 2 days and then suddenly stopped.

I had very little tenderness at the injection site. My flu and pneumonia vaccinations caused more discomfort, as slight as it was.

No issues yesterday except slightly sore arm similar to m y first shot. Woke up at 5:30 freezing and light muscle aches and minor radiating pain down arm. Took two Tylenol Arthritis strength and about an hour later went back to sleep. All good until about 5 hours after taking Tylenol. Light chills and slightly queasy. Took another dose.

Not a big deal, and delighted to have my second shot done 🙂

Good luck!

The day after the shot my arm felt like it had been hit with a baseball bat and I was really sleepy. The ache was completely gone by evening of the next day and I was back to normal, or at least as normal as I ever get. It was an uncomfortable couple of days but I didn't care.

Your experience tracks with what I've heard from several others. I've already scheduled 4-21 off.
