I got my second COVID vaccine on Friday

[gopiscrap]

it was wierd...my fist vaccine, no symptoms. This one, about 3 hours after the shot, I couldn't keep my eyes open and was like that all day yesterday. Today, back to normal. So thankful for the vaccine. Please every one who is able, get the vaccine when you can!!!

1. Yay! Congratulations!

BTW, I had the same reaction after my second Pfizer vaccination.
I planned my vaccinations for Fridays so I could rest and sleep.
Our bodies are now stronger and ready to defend against COVID19!

5. Same here,

I knew I would sleep a lot so I planned for it. Today is the first day I felt clear enough to accomplish a bunch of stuff.

I still had to take a nap a little while ago, though.

9. Welcome to the herd!

The DU herd grows daily. Thanks for getting it done.

10. Congratulations

I'm glad you're feeling better. It hits everyone differently. I just had a very sore arm for several days the first time and very little pain for a day on the second.

11. Congrats And Welcome To The Club

Looks like we’re all headed for a booster down the road and almost certainly this will be an annual thing like the flu shot.

12. Congrats!!

13. Great news. Day after my second one,

I just did an extra nap. Pretty normal for me.

14. My wife also had her second vaccine on Friday.

We both had Pfizer.

And you know what? Two things:

The GOP is crap, so your handle is right on the money.

I can hardly wait to be able to HUG my kids and grandkids again! I have missed my children SO much during this last year.

15. Similar reaction to you

Pfizer - 1st dose, a mildly (and localized) sore arm the day after
2nd dose, fine for about 6 hours, then feeling dropy and sleepy. Next day I was really worn out and really got nothing done but sleep and watch a movie. Next day, however, I felt great!!

WAY worth the minor inconvenience

16. 2nd moderna

My second Moderna shot is tomorrow. Hoping for zero side effects.

[SuperCoder]

18. Yay! Got my 2nd Jab of Moderna This Morning

My arm is less sore than the first time. And I have a surplus of energy compared to the last 2.5 weeks. Yay!!

[Native]

22. I had a burst of energy the day of my shot too. The next day was an entirely different matter.

It's been 6 days and I'm still not back to normal.

[CentralMass]

19. Congratulations. I got my 2nd st around 3:00 today.. My arm is a liitle sore.

No other symptoms yet.

20. The fatigue hit me almost exactly 24 hours later...

... with a light-headed feeling and a temp of 101 F. (I didn't feel hot, but I checked my temp with two different digital thermometers anyway.)

It was just about the time that I figured that I'd have no side-effects. None of it was terribly bad anyway.

The fatigue then lasted almost a full day, but that was the end of it!

Thanks to all of you who have been similarly vaccinated! It's a team effort!

[Native]

21. I got mine last Tuesday and I'm still exhausted.

23. Anti Vaxxer I work with got their 2nd dose yesterday!

This guy is a good dude, extremely smart, but he's a total right winger politics wise, says FOX News is too far left for him. When the virus hit he was saying it's just the flu and we don't shut the country down for the flu. Then when the vaccine came out he expressed antivax sentiment. But he's fully vaccinated now, not sure what changed his mind, but it's good to see people are relenting.

I fully believe we will get to a number of vaccinated in this country to reach herd immunity. I think we'll get to 75% when vaccines become available to children.

24. My wife and I had our first (Moderna) a week ago

Round two is scheduled for May 10. We fly back to Germany on the 15th. If there is a round three, and Germany continues to be hopeless, we will fly back to the States for it. We just read that our town outside Düsseldorf had over 300 new infections over the weekend, a tenfold increase over the usual 27 to 30. The population is about 90,000 and Düsseldorf is about 600,000.

The EU is a hopeless mess, completely unprepared to handle something like this. It was set up as a massive bureaucracy, there to make rules, not serve people. If we have needs that the EU bureaucracy is set up to handle, we get them taken care of. If not, we fly back to America. At least in the States, “initiative” is not a dirty word.

25. My 2nd shot happens this Wednesday (Pfizer). First one produced fatigue

that lasted most of the next day, and was totally fine after that. Small price to pay for the increased level of protection.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

26. The 2nd Moderna...

knocked me for a loop for about three days. Mostly fatigue. It was rough.
