My wife and I have both received the Pfizer series of vaccinations, my last one being in March. Neither of us has had any serious or even noteworthy reactions. A couple weeks ago, my wife had the booster. Same lack of complications. I haven't had it yet. We both may have had COVID in late December of 2019 (her) and January of 2020 (me), before diagnosis was possible and the symptoms were merely shrugged off as "flu like."

The first shot of Moderna back on December 29th, 2020 then the second shot of Moderna on January 26th, 2021. The first shot was sore and had a slight temp and felt sluggish.

The second shot the about the same but not as severe. I had a quicker recovery time on the 2nd. I felt great the next day. The first shot took a couple of days for the soreness to subside.

As a note.... the thread is titled "If you've gotten the vaccine.." There was no need for that post to be here, but it was inevitable, even with the polite OP request to not do it.

Seriously debated calling that post out, generally of the camp to let it die out, have to concur with JHE on this one, nothing wrong with the concept of age, but it belongs in the original Corona thread not this one, again JMO...

wife had both Moderna,
felt funky after the first, and full blown crap for a couple days after the second

I had Pfizer,
sore in the arm on the first
tired the day of the first, and hungover feeling (like a bad drunk) early the next morning,
by 10 or 11am, I was fine

Moderna, two standard shots and one booster.

1st shot, slight arm soreness that lasted a few minutes.

2nd shot, slight arm soreness that lasted about a day and a half.

Booster, don’t remember any arm soreness and was fine all that day. Next day, I was feeling cold all day, and started shivering around bedtime. No fever or any other symptoms, except the chills. Started feeling better next morning and was back to normal by noon. Lasted a little more than 24 hours. Not 100% sure it was related to the booster shot, but I’ve never had something like that come on quickly and leave quickly without other symptoms.

Pfizer-1: mild arm soreness day one (but my arm always hurts after I get any shot).

Pfizer 2: moderate arm soreness day one. Day two lethargy and soreness all morning (like you're fighting a cold; I sat in a chair on a heating pad until early afternoon), cleared up in the afternoon and 100% (okay, mild injection site pain) day two.

As this thread may be long and yield some good insights, would it be well served to post as a survey as well?

Something along these lines?

1) No effects
2) Typical effects as with annual flu shots (sore arm, fever, tiredness, and/or other flu like symptoms); symptoms but nothing unexpected beyond annual flu shot
3) Adverse effects (ie tinnitus, fainting, whatever); unexpected effects but would still consider taking the shot again.
4) Severe effects (ie myocarditis, nerve damage, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, death); would not take shot if mulligan.

Moderna for me and those I know who took the shot. I had a very sore arm after the first one for about 3 days, no other issues. After the second one I had minor flu-like symptoms starting about 12 hours after the shot and lasting for about 24 hours. My parents and my sister had pretty much the same experience. None of us had Covid symptoms prior to the shot. My brother-in-law (45), aunt (65) and neighbor (75) all had Covid earlier and took the shot. They all had a fairly strong reaction to the first shot, pretty much full blown Covid symptoms for about 36 hours after the first shot. They had no side effects from the second shot.

I got the J&J in March, about 8 hours after I started feeling bad and went to bed, woke up about 5AM my shirt was wet from a fever. I changed shirts and went back to sleep and felt fine.

I am going to get the Pfizer booster, our health adviser at our company says not to get the J&J booster but opt for the Maderna or Pfizer booster.

Moderna in March and April. Slight pain at the injection site on 2nd shot. No other effects.

Moderna Feb & Mar. Sore arm for a couple days.

I'm 51yo, had the Pfizers. Zero issues at all. Literally zero. The errand itself was more trouble and hassle than anything associated with the shots and it was only mildly inconvenient at that.

Both sets of my Parents and Stepparents, all in their mid to late 70s, also had the Pfizers (including the booster). My mom was a little groggy/sluggish for a day after the second shot. No one else had an issues at all.

Further, the woman I'm seeing had the Pfizers and had no issues.

And beyond this nuclear group, I could cite another 50 or so success stories, easily, maybe 100, between friends, cousins/etc, colleagues, and their families, were I to bother typing it all out, merely amongst my very close relations.

I have one friend who has a 90yo mom that has skipped the vaccine due to a litany of other medical issues she already has, a decision the family and their doctors made after a thorough consideration of the totality of their circumstances. Rare...

I have one cousin who refuses to get it, one friend who is scared, and it's my suspicion that maybe three others are pretending they got it when they didnt. Even crazier is that I know at least four people who got it but pretend they didn't.

Additionally, every single person I know personally who died in this timeframe (five so far) was unvaccinated. We buried the most recent one this past weekend, a 54yo, who was perfectly fine not 90days ago. I've never seen anything like it, myself.

Strange times.

I had both the Pfizer shots with no issues.

Three Pfizer shots. First shot sore arm. Second shot sore arm and spent the day after in bed but more because I was being a baby than there was anything that would have prevented me from doing anything that needed to be done. Third shot sore arm, hurt more and longer than the first two.

Wife had all three Pfizer shots and zero issues besides a sore arm.

I received 2 doses of Pfizer. Shortly after getting the 2nd dose, I developed some tinnitus. Can't be sure it was caused by the vaccine, but it's an interesting coincidence. Still have the tinnitus.

I had two shots of Moderna in May/June with zero side effects except a slightly sore arm after the first one.

I had Pfizer 1 and 2 in Jan/Feb. Nurse at local hospital warned me that side effects from shot 2 more pronounced than shot 1. 1st shot had a very peaceful, deep sleep for two days; similar side effect for Shot 2, though not as pronounced for shot 1. Had booster in September. Do not even recall side effects. I am a senior in my early 70s.
