About 24hr past COVID vaccine shot

[sdfernando]

Its just over 24 hours since I got my 1st COVID vaccine shot. I was given the Moderna vaccine. Other than some mild soreness in my left shoulder and some tiredness last evening I've not felt any other reactions. I had the exact same reactions to the Shingrix vaccine that I got 2 weeks ago. I'm feeling good about this and the 2nd shot is already scheduled. Piece of cake.

The tech giving me the shot commented on how I watched him stick me with the needle and the most people look away and grimace. I always watch, its no big deal

2. It'll be the second shot that gets you, if anything does

I'm like you. Just arm soreness after the first Pfizer shot. Nothing with the shingles shot.

After the second Pfizer shot, I had joint stiffness the second day. Nothing I couldn't cope with. It was totally gone the day after that.

4. I was so busy after I got my second shot

I have no idea if I felt well or not. It just wasn't something I could even contemplate, so I felt fine. I slept a lot yesterday and today, but I think that was just the relief of having the project complete.

6. Isn't the relief wonderful

I feel so liberated. I'm still wearing a mask in public and staying away from people I don't know. But I got a hug from a vaccinated friend on Easter. What a gift.

7. It's a different way of feeling, that's

for sure. Although, I'm in a very red state of trumpers and so the maskless are rampant and I know that at least one of them is a carrier.

3. Same here!!

My reaction to both Moderna shots was exactly like yours. I actually went to work after each shot, with "mild soreness" in my shoulder, and stayed as a cashier for 5 hours with no other reactions.

5. Congratulations

I get so many shots a day that I did not look away
