Feb 2021

I had my first Moderna early last week. No side effects whatsoever, not even pain in my arm. A very slight ache the next day, but barely noticeable.

My second comes up on March 9th. I hear stories about the second vaccinations (no particular brand) of coming down with various effects... Yet, I worry about side effects with the second shot. And I'm curious why the second shot is often regarded as the one people experience side effects like the chills, fever, nausea, aches and pains etc.
