problems at all. As per a rec here, after getting your shot, move that arm around and upward -- it helps alleviate the soreness.

The second made my arm a little sore and I felt really tired and a bit feverish for a couple of days. That was it.

Husband and I had Moderna. He had zero effects after both. I had a sore arm after first and 1.5 days of discomfort (chills, malaise, sore arm) after the second. We are delighted to have them done.

Best of luck.

6. Got my second Moderna last week

After the first one I had a sore arm for a day or two and weird, very vivid dreams the first night.
After the second, just a sore arm and a little bit achy in the joints for a day.

One thing I have noticed this past week, but don’t know if it’s a side effect or not, is slowed healing. Burnt the roof of my mouth on hot pizza last week and it still hasn’t healed all the way. Usually those only take a day or two to go away. I also have a few small cuts on my hands and bruises on my arms (from work) that are healing much slower than usual.

After shot #1 I only felt a slightly sore arm, shot #2 was much different. Later that night I started having really bad chills, so I just went to bed. I woke up the next day feeling awfully warm, but I didn't want to get up since I felt so woozy. Then the chills started again and continued for most of that day - that was it. Your experience will probably be much different, but I'd plan to take it easy the day after the shot...

And one thing that I learned that kind of tickled me - you'll remember that Dr. Fauci said to get whichever vaccine you can get first, and I learned that when he got his Fauci ouchi, he got the Moderna, too!

My experience with both shots was good.
First shot gave me a slightly sore arm.
Second shot gave me a slightly sore arm and some cold-like symptoms that went away a second day after the shot.
Nothing too bad.
Looking forward to booster shots Moderna is making for us.

Had the Moderna

First shot, the next day had some chills and muscle aches, felt tired. So drank a lot of water and took naps.

Second, felt fine. Better than fine; I felt free.

MAYBE a little fuzzy brained after the first one, but who knows? husband had a sore arm after first and barely after second. son was flu-ish for about 15 hours after the second but pretty much slept through that.

2nd Moderna shot, I was super tired the following day and my arm was sore. Took a nap for 3 hours in the afternoon which is unusual for me. I was fine the following day. Arm soreness totally gone in about 5 days.

Arm was sore for a day or two after....a week after developed a red blotch where I got the shot. Looking much better today, barely visible now. Getting my 2nd shot in 2 weeks....kinda nervous but at least I have that weekend off work.

BF got Pfizer, he said he felt a little tired for a bit the day after but otherwise fine.
