Wife got Moderna, I got Pfizer. She was wiped out for 36 hours (fever, chills, nausea). I got lucky and just had a headache for 12 or so hours.

Not to mention a tiny third arm growing out of your forehead.
I was holding out hope for telepathy, but a 4th appendage will work nicely too.
Wonder if the difference in reaction to the vaccine is any indicator of how different people would’ve fared had they actually gotten the virus?
I did. That night I had severe chills for about 4 hours in the middle of the night. Threw on a heating blanket and champed through. Had nothing after that subsided. My wife however had body aches, nausea, and just felt generally unwell for about 4 days or so. She definitely got it worse than me. Sore are lasted a few days but it’s a bigger needle with a higher fill so it was expected.
Everyone I know who had the Moderna vaccine had the same exact reaction on the second one, accompanied by high fever. Everyone except me, that is. I know of at least 30 people who had the Moderna injections and every one of them had that reaction. Luckily, it only lasted a few hours for most of them, but the majority of them either had to call in to work that day or leave early because they were so sick.
have heard the ambulance crews on the scanner taking a few patients to the hospital due to reactions to the shots maybe 2 or 3 so far.
Four hours after you get the shot regardless of whether or not you have any symptoms take at least one Tylenol.
The arm soreness part seems gender related to me, at least anecdotally. My wife, her sister, and several mutual female friends all complained of a very sore, tender arm. Like I joked about play punching my wife in her arm and she threatened extreme violence if I did that. On the other hand I barely felt anything in my arm and I haven't heard of any excessive soreness from male friends and family members of mine who've had the vaccine. Could just be coincidence though.
I was told when I got my 2nd shot that younger peeps had a greater chance of a reaction than old dudes like me. I felt a little crappy the next day but nothing too bad.
I had a sore arm for a day after, but it was pretty comparable to flu shot arm pain. Nothing excessive
First Pfizer shot was just sore at injection site, maybe a bit less then a flu shot. Second shot was a bit more sore and my entire arm was hot to the touch. Like I had a fever that was constrained to my arm. Took a Tylenol before bed just incase and woke feeling fine.
My dad also took Pfizer and had no reaction except soreness at the site.

I just got my first dose of Pfizer yesterday. traditionally, I have bad reactions to vaccines. I always get the sore arm, and more often then not, I will run a low grade fever to go along with chills and body aches. I usually plan on feeling crappy the day after my yearly flu shot. So, I was expecting this to be similar. But so far, I've only had the sore arm. I felt a little tired today, but I wasn't planning on doing much besides watching the Masters anyway, so it didn't impact my day too much. The second shot may knock me on my ass, but knock on wood so far.
Have only had first Moderna. I didn’t even realize they had poked me and had no reaction at all. Had worse reactions to flu shot.
Husband had no reaction with either Moderna. Got his second in January. One of his coworkers did have fatigue on her second one. Hoping my second goes as well, easy day to remember, 4/20.

My parents both got the Moderna. Both shots they just had slightly tender arms the day after and that was it.
A group of people I work with had chills exactly 12 hours after getting the shot. I was asleep by then and felt nothing. Some people felt ****** but I didn’t feel anything but a numb soreness in my arm for a few hours.
I felt nothing after my first or second Pfizer dose. Not even arm soreness. And I had to get stuck with that needle multiple times, since it kept breaking on my arm.
