I got mine Wednesday and have had several reactions. None on injection day but the day after, sore arm, dry mouth. Next day felt fine! Day after that had chills body aches and fever, stayed in bed and thought I was riding it out. Next day thought I was back to normal but got up to greet my niece and I got to her in time for her to hold me up. Felt like I was gonna faint and my body couldn’t move. My eyes were fixed but body couldn’t move. I could hear them talking to me but b all I could say is “I’m fine”. My whole body was tingly so strong that it truly left an impression.

my Dr thinks it all was due to the Corona shot!!

I had my first on March 18 and had a really sore left arm.  With my second on April 8, I didn't have any side effects at all.

I had the first covid vaccine last Friday and I'm just now starting to feel close to normal.  I don't really remember Saturday at all and had intense pain in the arm I got the vaccine in, extremely achy, weak and exhausted.

I've gotten both shots (Pfizer) and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of side effects.  Sure my arm (muscle) was a little sore, but nothing more than that.  As an editorial, as far as if it works, my 21 year old son tested positive for covid about 10 days ago and I was around him (in the house) maskless and thankfully didn't get it.  Luckily he seems to have made it through okay (he's now tested negative and has no lingering symptoms), so I recommend it as a diabetic.

I got the Pfizer vaccine and the only issue I had was the sore arm. I was fully hydrated before the second shot and no side effects

I got the 1st Moderna vaccine in April and had a sore arm for a day. I got the second one 2 weeks ago and I felt like I might be getting the flu the next day but that's it. I still feel fine.

I had Pfizer for both and for the first shot I just had pain at the injection site and then for the second one it was the same thing, plus on the second day after I had total flu-symptoms with fatigue, muscle ache and just feeling like I wanted to sleep. It went away after 24 hours but was sure a doozy when it was happening!
