I just got super tired the next day. Nothing a good sleep didn’t fix.
Wife and I both got Moderna- no problems other than sore arms for both doses. So far so good...
I've read that younger women have worse symptoms. First dose both toddler and spouse hit my arm (forgetting) and I was highly displeased with both of them. I threatened spouse with a matching hit to his own sensitive body parts so I'm with your wife there.
I will haunt you like a Dead Old Woman of Dunharrow just to give you a head’s up ( or off)
Got my first Pfizer yesterday. Arm hurt more than flu shot. Felt rough, tired and achy yesterday and today. I usually react the same to flu shots but this was a little worse. Still, I went about my day as normal with a bit of a nap both days. Like a mild illness. I'm a little worried the 2nd shot will knock me on my ass, but whatever. It's worth it.
The doctor in the van who gave me my shot says if you heat it up right on the spoon the reaction is minimal.
This could be huge

My brother listens to police scanner 24/7/365. He says lots of folks call 911 with bad vaccine reactions. On that basis, he decided against getting the jab. I got my first jab of Pfizer, don't really feel like getting the second, especially since I read that it doesn't work against the new 'South African' variant that is making the rounds.
Makes sense. You had COVID, so the first shot would be like a second shot for someone who didnt already have antibodies. Ive seen quite a bit of anecdotal evidence supporting the idea that shot 1 is roughest for those who already had antibodies.
Everything Ive seen suggests, that while the vaccine is somewhat less effective against the South African variant, that it is still effective. To say it "doesn't work" is a gross overstatement.

I hope not because I think the various side-effects/reactions that people are having to the vaccine are interesting. The wife and I have had both of the Pfizer doses and really didn't have much side effects/reactions if any. The shot arm was a little achy for less than a day after the second one. I took a Tylenol a couple of hours after the second just in case.Looks like we are headed to the cave....

Just got my 2nd of the Pfizer one on Sunday Not too bad but I was a bit sleepy and now it feels like I have a cold. Not much on my first one. So happy to have gotten it though.
I received second dose of pfizer on Thursday. Sore arm for 2 days and a slight tiredness (but that could be from a newish baby (6months old))
Seems like anyone I’ve heard having a reaction had previously had COVID (of varying degrees). I wonder if the vac is spiking a still increased level of proteins/antibodies.
