Three hours ago. So far, nothing other than feeling I got punched in the arm. Same feeling I always get after getting shots. I’ll let you know if I died overnight

Arm feels like it was punched by The Hulk. Minor muscle and joint aches and headache. Noting that coffee and ibuprofen can’t handle

I generally have mild to zero reaction to such things. Hoping my luck holds tomorrow.

. . . . . said it was best to do it high up the shoulder. So she did that in both arms.

I got the shots at 9.45 this morning.It is now 8.00 in the evening. So far there is zero reaction other than a very mild headache which has been with me all day. Not even enough to take an acetaminophen.

i will check back tomorrow if this changes.

a week later with no symptoms yet. I think I will be OK.

Both arms were sore the next day and gone the next. i did sleep more than usual, though. Relax and pat yourself on the back for your decision.

I always get side effects and didn't want any worse. Got covid shot yesterday, actually not as bad as last time. Usually feel bad for 2 days. I just had super sore arm and a bit fevery last night feel fine today except arm a bit sore.

Usually flu just gives slight sore arm.

I feel sooo stupid! I had an appointment to get both today and I totally spaced it out! I got a phone call and forgot it, got another call after that and while I was telling my friend about how I was going to get my shots, I realized I missed my appointment by a couple hours! I got off that call and called the clinic and apologized for blowing it and rescheduled for next week. They only do it on Tuesdays.

I feel like such a jerk.

The other vaccines and boosters knocked me out for three days.
