In reply to the discussion: For DUers who got 2nd Pfizer shot, how long before side effects? [View all]Tree-Hugger
(3,370 posts)29. My experience
My 2nd shot was it about 3:30 pm. I on my had a mild sore arm, which didn't interfere with anything. I didn't sleep very well that might, but I had disruptions from kids and cats in the middle of the night. By 10am the next day, I was fatigued and developed a fever. I hovered at 102.5 for the entire day, which I spent laying on the couch. I also had a lot of sinus pressure. Even though I had the fever, fatigue, and son is pressure, I didn't feel truly sick. Blah, yes. Sick, no. I will admit I totally milked it all day. My fever broke overnight and I had no lingering symptoms. So....shot on a Saturday, symptoms Sunday, woke up fine on Monday.

I felt stoned the next day then tired for 2-3 days after that. I didn't feel anything the first day.

I didn't really have any side effects except that I took a nap and had a slightly sore arm.
