1st dose I had back in February and I had no ill effects at all. 2nd dose, which I got yesterday was fine until I woke up this morning feeling like I got run over my a truck. Body aches lasted for about 8 hrs then disappeared.
 
Which vaccine did you get? I'm gonna be eligible later this spring based on Connecticut's age based schedule. I didn't want the Pfizer one because I don't need something that's like 90 degrees below zero being shot into me, so I was hoping for the Moderna one.
 
I took Pfizer 1st shot 2 weeks ago only feel minor aches for several hours. Today I took the 2nd shot and so far OK for 6 hrs already. But my friends all say the second shot will feel some aches for a day, and the disappear.

MODERNA 1 last month, less effect than a flu shot, virtually nada

Today: 2nd shot...bit of a sore arm; just a hint of a chill at dinnetime....this evening almost nothing.
 
I got the 1st Pfizer shot last week. No soreness at all. On the advise of the nurse, I kept moving my arm around continuously until I went to bed that night. My wife has had both Pfizer shots and her arm hurt quite badly after the 2nd shot. (she did not know to move her arm)
 
I got the first Pfizer shot this morning and then went back to school to finish the day.

About five minutes after I got it, I got really hot and flush for a few minutes, but that subsided. Could have been the vaccine or it could have been a little of the anxiety from being face-to-face with students since August.

Just a little bit of soreness in my arm, and upon reading some other recommendation, I took ibuprofen when I got back to school and again before heading up to bed to skim the BY and pass out.

Not serious, right? As I think you know, both Moderna and Pfizer are stored super-cold but are injected near room temp.

Had both Moderna shots, first a month ago with no side effects. 2nd was scheduled for the day of a long road trip to games, fortunately health department let me reschedule since I felt pretty punk for about twelve hours with dull headache and low grade fever along with body aches. Soon went away, and it’s a relief to be fully vaccinated- sure hope there isn’t a need for a steady stream of boosters for some of the variant strains.
 
Got Pfizer #1 on Jan 25 at St. Vincents in Bridgeport. Shot #2 on Feb 16. Two week period ends on Mar 2. Only side effect was minor soreness at injection site on night if shot both times. Same goes for both my sister and her husband. No side effects.
 
Happy to say that I got Pfizer #1 this morning. Had a very mild headache a few hours later that faded. Hard to say if it even had anything to do with the vaccine. 15 hours later, just a typical vaccine sore shoulder.
Kudos to the Middlesex Vaccine Clinic in Middletown. It took just 7 minutes from my arrival to the vaccine injection. Automatically scheduled me for #2. Smooth operation.

Central Florida here. Got the Moderna vaccine. First shot was on 1/18. Arm a little sore. Second shot was on 2/15. Same reaction.

We received our shots at our local church. Counties in central Florida had local community groups become POD sponsors. Our 55+ community was/ is a POD sponsor.

Most of our friends have received the Moderna. Pretty much the same results.
 
have had both doses of Moderna . Just a sore injection spot with both shots. with second shot , felt a little out of sorts for about 24 hrs on the second day. Now past the two week wait time and you know what? nothing changes ...we still have to wear masks and practice social distancing and wash our hands ....probably for the next six months at least and then they will say we need another shot.
 
I had both Pfizer jabs, 19 days apart some 18 days ago. I had zero pain and no negative reactions both time, but I had prepared to take it easy the day after my 2nd jab. It was not necessary; I played golf in the afternoon.

All the doctors say Pfizer and Moderna are just as effective for patients. Now, I continue to mask, etc but I can now visit my kids this weekend in the same room for the first time in a year.

I should add that the Johnson & Johnson 1-shot vaccine results are confusing. If I did have a choice among the three, I would select Pfizer or Moderna. Getting a 2nd jab is no big deal.

CT VA Moderna shot. Some two day arm soreness for first shot, second was fine, just a little soreness at injection site. They had 10 shot stations, all busy, very professional, you sat down and were monitored for 20 minutes. I asked if anybody had a problem and was told no. Great to have it, a load lifted from your mind. America is the greatest.
 
My wife and I received the 1st dose of the Pfizer vaccine about a week ago. My arm was sore for 24 hours, so much so that I couldn’t sleep on my left side. My wife was fine. Other than that, we’re feeling great.

Had a four hour round trip to the mass vaccination site in Plattsburgh, NY to get the vaccine, but we would have traveled a lot farther if we had to. The site was a large airport maintenance facility with 5 sets of overhead doors. The National Guard handled all the logistics of checking you in. The medical personnel were great. You drove in and out, never getting out of your car.

Looking forward to getting our second shot in a few weeks, and then getting back to work on my “Bucket List” which has taken a serious hit in the last year. The day after getting the vaccine I booked a trip for the week before Thanksgiving to Paradise Atlantis to watch UConn WBB and swim with the dolphins. 😊
