I'm on day six of Moderna fatigue [View all]

I had absolutely no side effects from shot#1; my husband's arm was pretty sore, but OK the next day. I expected to have very little, if any, problem with #2 and thought my husband might be a little unwell.

Shots on the 14th and that evening we both were wiped out, despite taking it easy all afternoon and drinking lots of water. Since then, we both have had sore throats and sleepiness, taking naps at the drop of a hat all day long. Don't feel unwell except for the sore throat, which responds to salt-water gargle and Tylenol, but feel like we had the wind knocked out of us. We drag around all day, and the smallest chore seems way too much to try to do.

We are 73 years old, with co-morbidities. He's diabetic type 2, and I have copd. Every day we're feeling a little better, and I would do it all over again to get the shot, but I was caught entirely by surprise by the duration of these symptoms.
