Pfizer in June. 1st shot: nothing other than slightly sore arm. 2nd: about 12 hours of flu-like symptoms of headache and chills. Wife had minimal side effects for both. We’re in our early 50s and likely had COVID in early March 2020 (not tested but both sick for about a week and wife lost taste and smell for a little bit)
Moderna shots Febr 2021. Blood pressure went up - a brand new problem!! One of my patients developed renal failure which lasted 6 months - now gone. One of my nurses developed headaches which lasted 3 months and another nurse also developed hypertension which now requires 3 drugs to control. My brother had the Pfizer series - developed massive venous thrombosis - now on blood thinners and doing well. Our small collective experience sounds bad, but the majority of my patients and acquaintances have done very well. I do not intend to get the third injection!!

I was forced to get jabbed or lose my job. Got the Moderna. First dose was nothing other than a sore arm. Second dose made me sicker than a dog for three days (everything hurt from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, nauseous, fever, heart racing). I haven't felt "normal" since then. Ringing in my ears, dizzy spells, no energy and I sweat at the drop of a hat.

Had the Pfizer shots in March. No effects at all. Had the booster last month. The day after felt like someone had swung a crow bar at my arm. Very sore for a few days. After that nothing. Wife and daughter had no effects from the booster.
Wife has chronic lung problems so we took the Pfizer shots back in Feb and March. No problems other than mild irritations at the injection site. Have not taken booster yet.

Wife and I have had two Moderna. I had nothing other than a sore arm, a little fatigue after the second. Wife had the sore arm and was feeling ill the day after her second. Overall no real issue. Waiting to get our boosters, just not in stock near us.

My wife & I had 2 Moderna shots with no effect, except after the 2nd shot my arm was slightly sore. I had the Moderna booster last week & had no effects.
J&J in early April. Booster of J&J on 1 November. No effects with either, other than slightly sore arm.
Wife got Moderna in late March. Following the first shot, no effects. With second, she was pretty sick for a day, vomiting, achy, tired. She felt great the next day.

This thread is somewhat refreshing. I'm glad to see that so many have not had serious effects. My wife took both doses of the Pfizer without any effects. My Mom was not so lucky. She has had serious clotting issues and hasn't been the same since her second shot.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
