(86,323 posts)Moderna shot yesterday. I was given an info packet with a list of side effects and what to do about them. They say that loss of tastes and smell can occur short-term but if they don't go away after a day or two, you should contact your doctor.
So far, roughly 19hrs in, I had a really sore arm where the shot was and made it hard to sleep. I was a little tense too but that could be residual from the reflexive cringing about being pierced by a needle. This morning I felt like crap until I had my coffee, now I feel pretty good and my arm doesn't hurt much at all. I hope that's the extent of it, I don;t like to feel crappy.
If those symptoms have lasted longer than 48 -50 hours, I'd get in touch with someone who can answer your questions. Did you get any printed info when you got your shot? If so, there should be contact info there.
