I had no side effects other than a sore arm for a couple days.

After my second shot, same sore arm but also had slight nausea the next day.

I do feel extremely lucky. Texas has the lowest rate of vaccination but I'm in one of 5 underserved counties that got a special allocation of Moderna back in January and my wife was able to get us signed up for one each of the 100 doses allocated to the county. Administered by the Texas National Guard, we were automatically signed up for the second shot.

That will be two weeks ago as of tomorrow!
