17. The moderna vacine side effects were no walk in the park for myself and most others that I know.

Got shot up with the first shot of the Moderna vaccine Jan 17th and second shot Feb 11th. After first shot had the common "flu shot arm" soreness for day 1,2,3. Day 4,5,6 felt like I had been stomped on all over my body, hurting down to the bottom of my feet. Day 7 stopped eating and kept a bucket nearby. Day 8 shaking on and off with 102 deg fever in evening. Morning of day 9 all better, had taken max Tylenol dose over nite. Since then I have had consultations with four med Drs and have asked all if they had any side effects from the Moderna like what I experienced. All responded yes to some discomfort with "moderate" side effects following the 2nd shot, but nothing like I had with the 1st shot. All but one reported chills with fever lasting one or two days following their 2nd shot only. Was not looking forward to that 2nd shot Feb 11 and was bracing myself for the worst. Everyone had said its after the 2nd shot that the side effects show up the most. Got my 2nd at 3PM, got the chills by 9PM and 102.6 deg fever shortly after. Took the Tylenol and over the next two days had just very low fever and moderately sore arm for another week.
