69. I got my second Moderna the Saturday before Palm Sunday

Tue Apr 13, 2021, 11:22 AM

Apr 2021

I received the vaccine at 1 p.m. Saturday. Sore arm within a few hours, then feeling sickly by bedtime.

Fever, chills, and body aches, arm hurt like hell all day Sunday. Same all day Monday, although things improved late in the day. Tuesday I was gradually recovering, and I was pretty much back to normal by Wednesday evening.
