Moderna Second Shot [View all]

Received it Friday at 0800. Did my 1/2hr sit down under supervision.
Felt fine. Got home and was tired. Friday night was hell for me. Fever, bad chills, body aches, tossing and turning.
I was on the couch all day Saturday like I had the flu.
I thought my Typhoid and my Yellow fever shots were bad. This one really hit me hard.
Others who got the shot with me had little to no symptoms.
If you are on this protocol. Many people recommend starting meds and keeping up with them before and after the shot.
Having the peace of mind is nice though.
