Got My 2nd Dose Of Pfizer Today

So far, no side effects from either dose. I was told by someone who got the Moderna vaccine that his side effects started 11-12 hours after he got his second dose. I'm still about an hour away from that. I do feel tired and have a bit of a headache, but that could just be from having an incredibly busy day, capped off by an evening workout at the gym.

Overall, so far, so good.

That's what the CDC says. You should get it as close to the recommended time as possible, but it's ok if it takes up to six weeks.

So far so good. A bit tired, but not sure it's from the shot. Will keep you posted if anything else happens.

I got my second at 3:45pm and woke up with chills at 5am. So mine was more like 13 hours. Good luck! Even if you happen to get a few side effects they pass pretty quickly.

7. Second Pfizer dose reactivated some of my long-term Covid issues

Specifically, heart rate, breathing, fatigue and an outbreak of the HD (hidradenitis suppurativa) that has plagued me since I was hospitalized with Covid, but had subsided with the other symptoms.

My interpretation: the inflammation in my body reactivated to a certain extent.

No problem except for a slightly sore arm, same thing that happened with first shot.
