I was immune to covid totally immune still am I got the jag which was a waisted journey all it did is fuck with my anxiety and mess it up and literally made me wanna die still feel that way but that’s getting better

I got the first one and had a panic attack after. Never got the second one even thdo everyone in my family was pressuring me to get it. And they finally all caught covid. I was around them the whole time and never had symptoms or tested positive.

I got 2 rounds and the boosters too. I feel like it helped when I did get COVID to keep the symptoms less awful.

I did feel weak after it for a week. But I think it's better than dieing if I get covid a second time. I still have breathing issues and chronic fatigue from when I got it the first time.

My doctor advised me not to get the vaccine. In my case I kept getting virus after virus and with me never getting a long enough period for the vaccine I just never got it.

I have had 4 doses and everyone made me I’ll for about 4 days. I still got Covid twice and was poorly with it. Imagine what I would have been like without the jabs

I can't help much I had no problems with it other than a slight sore arm mostly around the injection site.

It was fine

I got the first two shots of Moderna and I got COVID arm which was annoying but not biggie. I haven’t done any boosters though.

I got the Moderma vaccines at my mom's work (CVS) and my left arm was sore for a few days after each shot. Thankfully, I didn't have any bad side effects from it. COVID on the other hand was awful. I had it for 10 days after Thanksgiving last year and I wasn't alone going through it as my parents had it as well. Thankfully the vaccines kept us from being severely ill from COVID. It started as a sinus infection and I still have a lingering cough from it, but I'm not contagious anymore since it's been months since I had it. I still need to get my 2nd booster shot for COVID-19.

I had Pfizer for both of my vaccines. I had annoying/uncomfortable side effects for about a week after each shot, the first 2 days were AWFUL. But I'd already had COVID twice by the time I had the vaccine (even with over the top sanitation and masks). Honestly can't say it helped, got COVID twice more after vaccine and both times were just as rough as the times before. I have a very weak immune system though and seem to fall ill when no one else does. My reactions to the shots were worse than most of my social circle as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️I just seem susceptible to COVID.

Absolutely nothing went wrong. Just stupid Trump is trying to freak you out in my point of view.

the ones I've had weren't too bad just arm ache a bit but that was it my only issue is I'm unable to get some of the vaccines because of the medication I'm on so I'm behind on covid vaccines right now

It made me loose the ability to use my arm for the longest time, I got the ability back but that pause scared me

I have had the vaccine and the boosters and still ended up with COVID for about 2 weeks

First and third were just fine, day of the second booster took me out but I was absolutely fine by the next day.

Little sleepy. Third booster led to diarrhea 🙈

I mean even with the shot we can still get covid. It's a personal choice but me and my doctor decided it might not be a good idea with my conditions. I've had covid a few times once in the beginning of it September 2019- April 2020 was sick this whole time. My doctor thought it was the flu but it was something much worse. I caught it once last year and once last month. Both of the last times were because my in laws didn't tell me that they were sick. As they always do putting me and my kids at risk. Other than that I haven't been sick. I wear my mask while I am out. I stay far away from people. Especially if they are sick. When I go out I get the things that I need and go back home.

I have had COVID for a week and half and it sux big time walking up and down stairs was the worst feeling ever

One shot..Jansen...no more. My doctor keeps trying to get me boosted, but I don't want it. I have been exposed up close and personal with Covid +, family and friends, my co tinued results...-, many of my boosted Co workers are also excessively sick 😫...hmm. Are the ARVs promoting some sort of viral defense?

1st shot, not much. 2nd shot, I was sick for 24 hours with vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, chills, vertigo, and horrible acid reflux (much worse than my normal) for 7 days straight with no breaks.

The only side-effect that *might* have been from the vaccine was my tiredness the next day (although, that could be from a number of other things too)

My experience is that I didn’t get any side affects until it hit right about 2 hours after and then I was just donezo. I was OUT! I slept the whole day and woke up sweating and in jeans still 😭

I can't have it as it paralysed me waist down my legs for or 2 months

i’ve had zero vaccines and i’ve has covid once but it was very mild and barely there in my opinion, just a common cold.

I've had 3 with no recactions

I've had 4 with little to no issues other than I sore arm.

The first one gave me a sore arm for a day. The second once gave me mild flu symptoms the next day, but nothing else. Haven't gotten the booster yet.

had every vaccine including boosters. Best decision I made. I'm vulnerable and caught covid after 3 vaccines and it was horrible. I now have long covid

I'm never getting it

never had any issues I'm 4x vaccinated I'm just suffering with long covid right now because I had covid last month

Never had any issues with the first 2 and my first booster aside from a sore arm. My second booster made me feel like I was hit by a bus the day after, but after that I was right as rain.

Not too bad, just some drowsiness

The vaccine was really tough for me, but that only made me realize how much I needed the vaccine and boosters!

I have had both main vaccines and both boosters. I have had covid twice, once before and once after. The one before vaccines put me down for 2 weeks, left me with breathing issues, gave me blood pressure issues, and left me with neuropathy of the hands. The one after was a mild head cold. I wouldn't have even known I had covid if I hadn't been required to be tested by my boss.

I personally didn't get the vaccination bc I was worried about the side effects with my heart. I had Covid once, it was pretty bad but my doctor gave me the antibody infusion and I almost immediately started recovering. I haven't caught it again since, even after being exposed several times. My children had Covid twice and showed absolutely no symptoms. That's just our experience with it though. I understand that many may have different health issues that push them to get vaccinated for protection.

Worst side effects I had was a migraine with the first one and a sore shoulder with the fourth one

I had side effects with every one, fever, chills, body aches, etc. Worth it though for the peace of mind.

I felt unwell the next day. I have been fine since.

My family got covid really bad about a month or so before the vax was widely available to everyone. I felt that my natural immunity was enough and decided not to get it. Over a year later- I still support my decision.

The first two not so bad the booster felt like I had a cold for a few days and the chills but after that I was good

I didn't get one, but made sure to be extra cautious, vaccines are important but unfortunately Im not able to get one for reasons

I got both of the Novavax injections and they were really good. No pain or sickness at all.

ive gotten the juice a few times and got my omicron boost recently... no major symptoms outside of arm hurty and a small fever

First time I ever gotten a COVID vaccine I had side effects the day after (fever, cough) but luckily it went away after 2 days. I have since gotten 4 vaccines (second dose, 1 booster, updated booster) and i have felt fine after those.

100% good. I have not had covid.

Like gas masks lmao.

All talking about covid vaccines... I went back to work at the peak of it. In a hospital on a covid ward. We had to be tested to wear specific masks.

I got the first 2 and had a reaction to it. I got this rare skin disease where my body is attacking my hair follicles causing terrible pustules that scar. Took me a year to get it under control and it still comes back now and then. In january I got COVID. The rash flared even worse than when I got the shot. I dont regret getting it. I have severe lung disease. If i hasnt gotten those doses, I would have reacted even worse when I git covid and would have probably ended up in the hospital or dead. At least this way I was able to beat it. I knew from the start, I wasn't going to get out of this unsxathed

Got the first 2 shots before becoming chronically ill. I received my 1st booster shot after the onset of my illnesses... at the same time as a flu shot... WORST DECISION EVER oh lord it was so bad 😂😂😭 I crashed with bad PEM and all the symptoms. But, worth it because I was protected and now I need to get the new booster 🙏 Never had covid, despite multiple in-house cases 🤞

Went 2 years without covid, got the vaccine and contracted the virus twice in 11 months.

Yes this app is for 18 plus but I'm 13 but I have all my vaccines except for one buster

I just feel super tired next day. Same way I feel like I need a shot I get…. ie flu shot. It was no big deal.

I received the initial Pfizer shots but never went back for boosters. I didn’t get covid until this year. And when I had it, it felt like a really mild cold. I didn’t have any side effects at all. It was good for me. I also did a genesight test for my mental health medication interactions. Wondering if that or another medication interaction DNA test could help others make a more informed decision considering their own individual health and possible conditions.

i hadthe first 2 and a booster with no reactions at all

I have had 5 covid shots and haven’t gotten covid even though everyone I know has gotten it

Better then covid but did mess up my menstrual cycle for a few months

Far better than actual covid.

I worked in the emergency room throughout the pandemic. I got sick after getting the vaccine but after seeing what it does to people and what their loved ones go through, I thought and still think it’s worth it.

Never got the vaccine. I already had covid without even noticing it, and I don’t live anywhere near my grandparents and other family+ everyone in my household felt they didn’t need to get it or really trust it 100%. no one but me got covid in my household thank god

At first I was really against having it because of all the negative things I was hearing about it but I've since had 4 but my most recent one was 14th October and I had morderna B and I felt so rough I couldn't get up with out feeling soooo dizzy and nauseated so I was in bed all day and slept most of the day next day miraculous recovery! Definitely glad I had it so can't risk getting covid with heart disease and asthma 😷😟

I was a first responder position for the COVID vaccines/first in line to get them due to me being a primary position (I worked as a Lifeguard), I remember the second and third boosters were hell to my system! But after that I think I can say I feel like I have more vaccines in me than water, haha.

I haven't had mine yet because I rarely leave my house, and when I do, I don't have time for a vaccine

How sick they made me which sent me to the ER

I've never had the vaccine and I have never knowingly had covid. And I work in customer service.

I got moderna. Felt somewhat tired and achy but not too bad, I’ve had wayyy worse pain from existing medical issues. The only weird thing I experienced was getting a huge baseball sized red welt on my arm where the needle went that lasted for about a week

I had my vaccs and my booster. The first one, I think I got sick- fever and chills. I feel like I was sore, but don't remember? The second shot all I could do was sleep for a couple days. I could barely move around the house even and was up only a few hours of the day it seemed like. The booster made my chronic pain flare up badly and made me feel like I had a really bad cold or a mild flu. Super sleepy again. Of course the vacc'd arm was very sore with all of them.

I felt ok the day I got my phizer booster but I woke up in the early morning the next day with chills, a fever, and body aches. Later in the day I developed a headache and the fever and chills kept fluctuating. The arm was sore for a couple days. Now I'm ok but it was a trip!

Felt sick for a day with Pfizer and sore for a few, sick for like 3 days when I used Moderna as a booster with the flu vaccine in the same arm same day. Also had “covid arm” which was just an increased swelling muscle weakness and soreness in the injected arm; the new bi variant one I was just sick for a day and sore for a few. All sick day’s meant achey and feverish

Just stiff n tired

With not knowing what is truly going on with my body at this time I opted to not get the vaccine. I did however catch COVID about 3 months ago. I had a super bad migraine for about 5 days, no appetite, my thighs hurt like no other, I wanted to sleep and couldn't get comfortable. Day 7 of symptoms I was in the backyard with my husband and ended up fainting and having a seizure. An ambulance rushed me to the ER where I was finally officially diagnosed with bradycardia. However they did not address my seizure once. The ER doctors and nurses kept brushing off that fact even though that's what concerned me the most about the whole episode.

I didn't take it. I didn't catch COVID. I don't really catch colds. I just get sick and suffer through my conditions when they want to annoy me, but I don't really catch stuff like that in my adulthood. And now that I make my own medicines, I really don't catch stuff. I'm blessed.

First dose: completely fine just sore arm for a couple days Second dose: 102.5 fever, pretty bad wide-spread muscle aches, headaches, pretty extreme chills, fatigue for about 3 days (took the rest of the week to finish recovering more though) Booster: Same side effects as the 2nd does but much more mild and only lasted one day Bivalent Booster: Same as the regular booster Overall, the 2nd dose was pretty bad. But I’d do it all again because I’d rather suffer for a short amount of time than be more likely to have severe Covid / long-Covid effects. And to help protect the people around me.

First time was like a headache in my arm. It was perfectly fine, just weird. Second time, I didn't feel a thing. Relax your muscles and it won't hurt.

first time- felt nothing second time- woke up in the middle of the night to vomit, felt unwell for the next day, then felt perfectly fine after that third time- felt a bit unwell and feverish for a day and that’s it

i’m not vaccinated

Me, my son, or mom will be taking them due to personal reasons

I had two shots of AstraZeneca and both were terrible. During 24 hours I was in severe pain.

Got my first two Moderna, no side effects, third Pfizer, lethargy, and fourth idk tbh but it made my arm sore as heck 🤗

Got my 1st/2nd with Moderna. I had a high fever the day after (not hospital worthy) and I was ache-y for a few days. Then, I was fine. My dad had a slight fever, then was fine the next day. (Moderna) My mom got Johnson-Johnson and had no side effects. Both my parents got COVID about a year or so after their shots and their sickness was mild, though my mom has developed an aversion to dairy.

Got my first and second vaccine, Moderna. I had little to no side effects at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just a little injection site tenderness

Had both shots plus 1 booster. Pfizer. No issues.

I was knocked out by my first shot lol but the second and booster were just fine!

It's absolutely fine. Just like getting the flu vaccine.

I was fine with the first with the second I was just really tired.

Never got one shot

I had no issues

I passed out on the second shot. Scared the pharmacist that gave it to me LOL - luckily i brought a family member with me.

A mild sore arm for a couple days and felt tired for 1 day, that's it!

I almost passed out from my fear of needles.

My mom is currently in the ICU due to the vaccine. I will not be taking it.

i had no problems!! i got my boosters too. only thing bad was i felt weak for a day and slept a bunch. next day i was fine.

There was one dose that really took me down but other than that I’ve been pretty much fine. Just got the new booster on Sunday and other than being a little shakey I was totally fine :)

I got a fever after each one but then I'd be fine the next day! I've had 4 shots so far 🙌

i don’t remember how i felt after my initial 2, but my boosters have been fine

I got terribly sick with each shot ,but dr says that means it’s working.

I've gotten 3 pfizer and it's been fine. I scheduled the next day off work each time so I could rest my arm and have a moment to "recover" but they really weren't much worse than the flu shot. Sure I had a small headache and felt a little bit tired the next day, but it genuinely could've been my chronic illnesses which make me feel tired and have headaches most days lol. 9.5/10 would recommend. Now I know I'm more protected and a bit less likely to get others sick. I'd much rather negligible discomfort on a lazy day than a week of sick days and the risk of DEATH for my disabled self or my older loved ones in the future. Plus I've seen a couple grocery stores offering discount coupons to anyone who gets the new booster. I'm planning on heading to Randall's tomorrow for mine and some grocery deals

One of the doses gave my symptoms, but they were mild in comparison to the actual disease itself that I had 2 years ago

They all made me really, really sick but I reckon they're worth it since I have awful anxiety around covid (and also am just now starting to realize I might be immunocomromised:/)

Just.. exsisted I guess? I did everything happily and normally I felt no tiredness or pain :D

got all 3 pfizer shots, same as the other 4 members of my family. we all work and have school, none of us have gotten covid. my parents (in their mid 50s) both got pretty lethargic from the shots, but the rest of us were fine. even had 2 coworkers get covid, came back after a week, worked in close contact with them and i never had symptoms. i tested to be sure, never got it.

I had moderna for both shots and I got a full booster because I'm immunocompromised. I had a sore arm and was super tired the rest of that day and the next. I've been in very close contact (son and a few weeks later boyfriend) and never got it. The only difference was I had the full booster.

Both shots and one booster. No side effects save for normal soreness at injection site and when my husband got Covid I did not. My husband also had the same vac as me, got them at the same time but he still got it so

I got em all. No side effects. No COVID.

I was nervous of a reaction. I have now had the 2 original shots, a booster of original and just got the new booster. My allergist advised I stay 1 hour post injection to observe. No reactions other than soreness at injection site.

I'm afraid of them. I'm not against them, but they're too new for me to trust them. I also didnt like how the government tried to force people to take them. Made it harder to trust their effectiveness and what is in them. My mom had mini strokes after each of her Maderna shots which didn't help my fears.

I got two shots and a booster. I got covid but it was super mild.

Then I got my shingles vaccine and just finished hep B vaccine and I got my 2nd Hep A vaccine on Friday ,then I'm all done .except I'm needing one more phirzer booster,but I'm kinda hesitant on getting. The last one which was 1st booster my arm had a big knot on it for a week and it. Was.Red and it really hurt .I think I had allergic reaction to it .so I dont know about getting second one for myself .

I've gotten both shots plus one booster phirzer vaccine. I ended up getting covid it was awful for the first 3 days I thought I was gonna die ,had high fever and chills . After breaking fever I was only experiencing body aches and head ache for about week .but I think it would have Alot worse for me if I didnt get vaccinated. Because I have a poor immune system ,kidney disease too. My Liver Dr.suggested me to get it .. They wouldn't let me get the Shilnguls vaccine until I got the covid vaccine. So finally I got the covid .

Beat the heck outta the virus. I've had COVID twice. You can bet I'm in no hurry to get it a third time. I got the vaccine three times, and actually chose to seek it out. I got more side-effects from tetanus and hepatitis vaccines than COVID. Meanwhile, I'm on this app in the first place due to chronic conditions that having COVID exacerbated to the point I haven't been able to hold a job.

😕 how do you get around not taking it???

It was alright

I have Hashimoto's and for all 3 shots, I was sick for 2 weeks straight. My regular symptoms just got more severe: fatigue, headaches, cold/hot intolerance, brain fog, etc.

It's been bumpy every time, symptoms like the flu for a day or two (or three...) but I still view it as worth it. I had COVID in May but it was just like a bad cold, I don't want to guess if I hadn't been vaccinated...

I reacted badly - fevers, bad body pains, nausea, worsening of my chronic illness symptoms for a few days. But after a few days, that all died down

I got Pfizer, and my arm was just pretty sore for like 2 days. When I got what I'm assuming is COVID (some of my siblings tested positive, I never got my results back lol), it was almost the WORST sickness and pain I've been in, in a long time. My body aches literally left me crying and praying to God 😭 it was the worst. And I hadn't gotten my boosters then, which really sucked. I'd rather have vaccine soreness for a few days than another 6 hrs of my symptoms, by a long shot.

The vaccine was completely fine for me! My arm hurt for a long time after probably like a bit more than 3-5days compared to most people telling me it'd take 2 for the soreness to go. I'm glad I got it overall to help the immunocompromised and people who actually can't, even if it was a bit late. Can't wait for my booster soon enough.

I had no issues with the vaccine. When I got sick with COVID my jaw joints hurt so badly.

I got Pfizer vaccine due to a job I really wanted it had less side effects than the others the worst I had to deal with was being really tired for a few days

I have yet to be vaccinated and I was thinking of getting the j&j because my fiance did, however I recently learned that it is more dangerous for women than it is for men. Not massively more dangerous, however from the studies I've read (and I've read a LOT because I hyper focused on it) 15 women have been admitted to the hospital within 1-3 days of getting the j&j and 3 have died from blood clots. And with how unlucky I am I would probably end up being another woman to have to be hospitalized because of this. Obviously with that low of a number compared to the thousands of women that have taken the vaccine it's of very low probability, however as I mentioned before, I believe I am just unlucky enough for it to happen to me.

I did okay with all three shots. Mainly pain at the injection site. I recommend to start drinking pedialyte the night before, and drink a whole liter over the course of a couple of days. I also recommend to take Tylenol for injection site pain and flu like symptoms.

I had pain in my heart for a couple days.

because of preexisting conditions, im often extremely allergic to vaccines- and unfortunately the covid one was the same. after a severe allergic reaction to the first shot- we waited 6 months and i was very fortunate to be able to be monitored by allergists for all of my vaccines that point forward- fully vaccinated now and getting boosters :)

I work in the health field. I have personally seen some nasty side effects for some. One of the worst was paralysis on one side of the body directly related to the vaccine. I don't understand why no serious side effects has been openly reported to the public. I have refused the vaccine due to current and past health problems. My body cannot even tolerate the flu vaccine. I have been exposed to the virus steadily for 3 years and not sick one day. I get tested twice a week and always negative. I don't oppose the vaccine but I do believe people need to be cautious as there have been some severe side effects for some otherwise healthy individuals.

The vaccine was no biggie to me compared to the virus itself, which triggered a chain reaction which eventually cost me my employment, many relationships, and eventually a permanent address. I'll get each new vaccine to come my way if it means I don't get COVID for what would now be a third time, or reduces the severity if I do.

I did because I work with toddlers who have disabilities.

Honestly I can't see myself getting this vaccine knowing it came out in such a short time if the " haven't " came out with a cure for us diabetes " yet "

Got covis a few months ago and it was so mild. I had 2 Phizer vaccines in 2021

I got pretty sick, which is normal so I expected it. it was especially hard with already having pots prior to covid ever even existing. pots is now a frequent result of long covid, so its pretty self-explanatory that I would have a hard time if I contracted it!

I've had 2 im going to get the boaters as well they make me moodey sore and tierd thou at first it dusnt hurt which helps I have this thing with nedlies where I can feel them moving through each lare of skin and stuff but that one is one I can't fill till after words

A health insurance I was with forced me to get it. It's extremely painful and I couldn't even move my arm for almost a week afterward.

i haven’t gotten the vaccine yet but i did get covid it was so awful so so awful, ive never been more sick. I was out for 2 and a half weeks before I could even get out of bed. It was so just awful. It was scary too because at times I couldn’t breathe.

I got it last year but honestly I don’t think it works because I’m sure I’ve gotten the virus since then

My problem with the shot is I breakout with a rash,couldn't breathe, I now have Inflammation of the spine, Can no longer get vitamin B shots or the flu shot, Keeping recurring bladder infections. My dr said it is a result of the shot.

I could barely use my arm for a week and it hurt. I can't remember if it was after the first or second one though. I know it wasn't both though, wasn't the third either.

painful. i hate needles. but i had my mom there to support me. im glad masks arent a rule in most places but still is in hospitals.

got a covid shot, then 5 hours later i got my blood drawn. not wise, let me tell you. i didnt get covid, but i did sleep for 20 hours.

I just felt really worn out for a couple days and then I was fine, my mom had a worse reaction but even then it only lasted about a day.

Like any other shot

It was nothing more than a flu shot for me. Little tierd. Maybe slightly sore but nothing more

I had a bad experience. For about 2 days i felt like my skin was trying to crawl off my body. But i mostly slept through it and actually requested days off from work for the second shot.. which didn't really faze me.

I got vaccinated early 2020? I think. Boosted late 2021. Just recently got COVID for the first time, it's not nearly as bad as I expected. Will be getting a booster with my flu shot.

I felt like I had the flu for days after each dose. I developed a caffeine sensitivity from it, so now I can’t have caffeine other than soda. It makes my heart rate high and I get anxious. It also made my anxiety much worse and gave me heart symptoms (high heart rate, palpitations, and pain) that’s now better with a medication. My cardiologist said that it probably triggered an immune response. I’m not getting the boosters.

I’m definitely glad I got the two doses bc I haven’t had it yet (knock on wood) but they both made me sick the day after

First dose flared up my disorder (PANDAS) so I had to get a medical exemption to avoid getting the rest of them 🙃

first one gave me a terrible fever and shakes for one night, then nothing. the booster didn't give me any side effects.

got both vaxxes and ill be getting the next one soon. felt perfectly fine afterwards, didn't even feel sick like most people do.

Caused me to have brain inflammation, doctors found graphine oxide in my blood from it which was lacking my blood from oxygen. I regret getting it

I think it actually made my pots worse, I could have also gotten COVID at some point and that could be what did it. My heart rate significantly increased after each dosage, the first one being the worst

I have pre existing conditions (that I didn't lost on my profile for privacy reasons) that would most likely kill me or put me in icu for a while if I got vaccinated :( please get vaccinated if you can.

With my initial two doses I had absolutely no symptoms. My booster gave me mild symptoms (muscle weakness/soreness, chills…). Going to get a second booster on Friday!

I got it, my arm hurt for a bit and then it was just like any other vaccine

My sister experienced many issues immediately following her vaccination, as a result I decided not to get it. Considering I had it when it first arrived in the states (1/20) and my antibody count tests high I do not find my risk of contracting it or spreading it high enough to risk permanent damage to my body like she has been experiencing. None around me save for her have gotten it and none have been sick. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have been getting migraines on and off ever since I got my second vaccine

I was fine from my first does but my second does I didn’t feel good after it

I didn't have any issues

I got 1&2 and then had to wait for the 3 cuz I had Covid it wasn't any fun would not recommend lol

I know few people Very sick after getting never recovered , humans are the 1st to ever take anything like this .. wait for years to come .. good luck to all

My entire family got the Pfizer vaccine. I was sick for 3 days after each shot, and like a week after I had hella swelling and dead arm. Then I caught covid and was sick as a dog for a week but my kid was locked in the house with me and my also sick husband, he never caught it.

No vaccine, have had it and isolated like a reasonable person. No plans to get one. Not against it, just don't really feel it necessary for me. I don't go places because of my disabilities. It was brought to me by a family member. The body should learn how to fight threats. If you're worried, get a vax. It's up to you.

I got lucky-no symptoms on shot one, one day of feeling “more hot than usual” on the second dose. Booster dose (shot 3) o felt sick for a couple days, but was fine.

the first dose was fine. the second dose made me extremely sick with fever, chills, shivering, exhaustion, loss of appetite, and full body pain, but i felt better within two days! i think i made the right choice by getting it

I didn't have any side-effects

Both me my Daughter and Mom and dad got them and had no complications at all to them

It's saving my life I have covid rn

I didn't have any recommendations to any of the ones that I had.

i was able to get it early since i lived with a hospital worker and am disabled and i didn’t feel any symptoms until a week later, i felt SUPER sick (i think a fever broke) and i got sent home from work. the second shot had zero symptoms. I’m planning on getting my booster soon

I didn’t get the shot because having it the first time was an absolute nightmare and I wasn’t going to voluntarily inject more into my body after that. BUT, since just having Covid, I’ve realized the inflammation in my body is way worse than in my life. I had a neck injury in 2015 and I’ve been able to deal with it without major issues. But since I got covid, I can’t do any activities because my neck will swell up. I haven’t had a good nights sleep in, I can’t even remember how long. It sux so bad!!

I slept for like 36 hours after every single one but I didn't really have any symptoms besides being dead tired. Plus I love doing my part to ease the pandemic (and a lot of my anxiety around covid)

The symptoms sucked 🤷🏾‍♀️

Had all mine. The last made me sick for a few days, but not get COVID.

Had no side effects

My mom had 2 strokes and she still got it twice, and the second time was way worse than the first

All 3 of mine seemed to effect me the same way each time. I got the shot in the afternoon, would start to get a sore arm and headache by bedtime, would wake up feeling sore, fatigue, headache… felt like that for 24-72 hours and then fine again. I never was at a point where I couldn’t function or go do normal things the next day

I've had 3 doses. First one made me WAY more fatigued than I normally am. Also noticed my stomach was a little off for up to 2 weeks every time. For someone who has bad health anxiety (somatic symptom disorder), it was difficult, but I was much more scared of COVID.

I’ve gotten 3 shots so far and with my laundry list of illnesses I didn’t need to add the risk of getting COVID. I didn’t have any problems. I would get a shot every day than have to go to the hospital and get a tube down my throat

I didn't get one. No regrets.

Both times I had to go for the shot, the day before I felt better I literally thought I was dieing. I felt terrible. And despite everything, I've had cocod twice

I got vaccinated for work and took the shot twice. I felt a little light-headed but other than that it went fine. I got covid a couple months after that and it landed me in the hospital because I collapsed in the shower. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the vaccine, but I don't think it is doing what it's supposed to.

Taken two doses. Didn't feel much. Just went amongst my day.

I honestly don't recall my shots well. That means it wasn't bad. I've had everything, including at least 1 booster. I've had a LOT going on the last 2 years, so forgive my swiss cheese memory... I JUST got a booster on Wednesday (it's now Sunday). My arm developed a fairly large raised red area on Thursday. It was sort of hard to the touch, hot, and quite sore. Yesterday it was itchy. Today, everything is much better. All of the symptoms have reduced to the point of not really being worth mentioning. My husband gets knocked on his butt for about a day, feeling overall crappy, then is fine. He's not had the most recent booster yet. My kids--5yo--didn't have much reaction either, save for telling the entire store how pissed they were via screams. 😆

1st shot - sore arm the next day and some achiness. 2nd shot - exhausted, severe aches and pains and a bad headache for a day Booster - no reaction at all Happy to be protected and protect those around me. Worth the day of symptoms.

Other than a bad headache once and a sore shoulder with the 4th shot, no I'll effects.

All three shots! No ill effects! My 94 year old grandmother is fine after. Honestly I can't say enough about antivax with thier 200 year old logic. It's not a new idea. It's worth the hassle to think of at risk groups, and take one for the team Earth! Think of the history books! Arnold Schwarzenegger, Matt Damon, and The Rock got it and are pushing for everyone to get it. Matt has a 160 iq so I'm going with Jason Bourne, The Rock, and The Terminator. Sorry for the ranting but I have strong opinions... BTW Matt Damon is pissed about the stupid negligence of antivax. Do what the actual doctors say, not Facebook experts...

i got moderna. and my first shot-if i remember-was the worst one. i felt dizzy for a bit and i was also super sleepy. the second one wasn’t near as bad. i only experienced sleepiness (as well as a heart-shaped spot from the shot on my left arm that lasted a few days!).

I got the 2 vaccines and the booster, and still got covid, I guess it varies on the person

Godsend - had my second booster about 4 months ago, and feel it was so worth it. I did struggle with some fatigue the day after (on all 4 occasions) but would do it all over again. Everyone in my immediate family has gotten covid, and although I have never tested positive, I am glad I know I have the extra protection for when I go get in contact with COVID 🙌

Sounds like CAEBV

I drank a ton of water the day before and a ton of water the day of and I didn't have any side effects. Same for the 2nd shot. I never have had covid so it must be working!

The first vaccine left me feeling like I had a mild cold for a while the day I had it, but didn't last long. The second vaccine landed me hard on the couch with awful symptoms (chills, sweats, shakes, body ache, and fever). But those were both Moderna. My husband read that the Pfizer vaccine didn't give as severe side effects for some people, and I should try it since the CDC said mixing vaccines might be useful. My first two boosters have been Pfizer (one in the fall, one a couple months ago), and I had very mild cold symptoms and fatigue with those. But I will switch it back to the Moderna vaccine when/if I qualify for a third booster.

I always have a REALLY bad reaction to any vaccine I get. with that said I've got all 4 covid vaccines and had a really small site reaction. thats all. in my opinion very worth it.

I got 2 shots, got a rash, headache and major fatigue, plus just an overwhelming "sick" feeling. Few months later got COVID after being vaccinated and it hit me harder than anyone in my house who were all unvaccinated.

Not getting it. From what I've seen it doesn't even prevent COVID, and it can give you other health problems. Plus I've already got COVID and it wasn't that bad.

I didn't have any reaction to mine other than a little pain.

I got Covid twice and I’m vaccinated 😩

Both times just made me really tired and passed out and slept for hours. Other than that I felt great!

I got the vaccine BUT I still got covid even while wearing masks.. it's only gonna protect ya from a singular strand of covid and there are several.

I got very sick for my first dose, I had Moderna, but every other dose had little to no side effects

I have had 3 Moderna shots. I was down for several days with all of them. Intense body aches, headaches, nausea, chills. After the 1st, I just made sure to take a couple of days off after for the 2nd and booster. I feel like my discomfort was worth it to protect both myself and loved ones. The new variant has me pretty freaked bc it seems to be immune to the vax. But, fwiw, I got the vax.

It made me sick two out of three times but hopefully I’m protected.

Two vaccines and a booster. Got COVID much more milder than expected. I got "COVID arm" with the first vaccine but otherwise, no problems. I'm so grateful I got them, I could have gotten deathly ill with COVID if I wasn't vaccinated prior.

I had covid in late 2020, and it was bad so as soon as I could I got the Pfizer 2-dose vaccine. Both the 1st and 2nd shots hit me hard. Later when I got the booster I was completely fine, not even sore!

The only side effect I got from it was exhaustion but after a day it went away and I went back to life as usual. My arm was sore but you’re supposed to keep moving the arm you got the shot in and it helps the pain ease.

I've had all of them and I feel just fine. Does it work I don't know. But I don't regret having them.

first one had me shaking with a bad fever all night, other 2 didnt do anything to me

The first shot made my arm sore AF my husband and I got the Moderna, the second 1 made our arms just as sore, then made us sick Af but so far we haven't gotten Covid (knock on wood) even tho we've had friends and family that have gotten Covid also recently our dr has had covid for the second time so idk how well the vaccine works but I know uts worked for us thus far

My neibors throat started bleeding from the shot and my cousin died from it so I do know what it's like

Honestly I never got the shot an never caught covid, just kept my vitamin levels up especially d and the other one... FEEL GREAT. would do it all over again

I died from it an haven't recovered but I would deff do it all over again

I was achy and fatigued after my second shot but I do feel better having it. My partner is also immunocompromised so it gives me peace of mind knowing we are both fully vaxed. We can go to the grocery store, go to the park, or see loved ones without so much anxiety.

I'm extremely immune compromised. The vaccine gave me some peace of mind instead of being the nervous reck I was before. And even though it doesn't stop you from getting it can stop you from getting really sick or dieing.

Don't believe in it nor trust it

Didn't take one due to my previous reactions to vaccines. I did get COVID last August and the fatigue was something I wasn't prepared for. Otherwise felt like I had a serious sinus infection with a weird cough. Husband got it the same time and his biggest issue was high temperatures.

First shot was ok. The second had me lit up with pain, nausea and dizziness. It passed after a day. I was still in pain but not as bad as the day before. Booster shot no problems.

Have gotten the J&J and a booster. Both made me feel like crap the next day but I can go to work and feel safer and not get tested as often. I sometimes worry about long term after effects but I value being able to go do things in the moment more? So far I haven't had any additional symptoms or anything though so I feel lucky.

**important extra note, still have not caught COVID.

I got Moderna and it WRECKED me. Haha still support getting vaccines, would still do it again. Just bad body reaction. I suffer from chronic pain due to musculoskeletal issues -- the side effects simply kick that into hyperdrive. In addition: • 1st shot: fine for 8 hrs. Then arm pain started at injection, spread to an inability to lift my arm due to pain --gone in 3days. Fever after 8 hrs, lasted 4 hrs. Fatigue lasted 3 days. • 2nd shot: arm pain after 3 hrs, lasted 1 day; fever and chills not till 15hrs after, lasted 4 hrs but came back in waves for the next 3 days; fatigue 2days. The musculoskeletal flare ups lasted about 2 wks each time. This is normal for me, though, if I were to, say, have a fever or not take care of my pain and participate in hard sports. Ie Regular muscle ache vaccine symptom, continuation is just a biproduct of my chronic pain.

No problems with the vaccines aside from a sore arm. The booster made me so sick for 2 days. But no long term affects.

I never did flu vaccines but when covid came out i went and got both flu and covid.i might have been more ill from the flu shot.

the first shot wasn’t that bad but the second one put me through hell. still decided to get boosted anyways & surprisingly the booster wasn’t bad at all.

i got my first two, second made me a little sick for a day and my arm was sore but other than that it was all good!🤗

Needles don't bother me. I used to donate plasma so I had a lot of practice. And once I got both shots I was told they work. Well if they work why did I get it three different times?

wasn't bad! second shot kicked ny ass the most i felt feverish and unwell but i was also recovering from surgery at the same time so that could explain it. my booster i also had a fever when i woke up in the middle of the night but when i fell back asleep and woke up again i was fine :)

I didnt have anything other than a headache, honestly the shingles vaccine was much worse. My husband had covid, i will take the headache over covid

The first I had no issues Second shot I was very cold and fatigued, as well as had some backache and emotional outbursts that I correlated to some of the studies I've seen that it can affect afab peoples hormones Third shot....let's just say it was worth it to get boosted but the 12 hours I had to deal with afterwards were literal hell. No matter what I did I could not get warm, my teeth were constantly chattering and my body was shaking uncontrollably. Even a heater and blankets didn't help and I ended up crying in bed over the sheer frustration of what was happening to me. For reference, I have Raynauds and can't stand anything below 60°F, my cold intolerance is super low. Eventually, it was so bad I couldn't sleep so I stayed up and distracted myself watching the new Witcher season at the time. I'm lowkey worried what will happen if I have to get a fourth boost/shot but I also don't want to get covid, not just because I've heard of the Long Covid issues, but also because my family is immunocompromised and I don't want to accidentally spread it to anyone else :( I plan to talk to my doctor before I get another dose, if I have to get another dose

It's saved me absolutely none, I've gotten covid 4 times since i got the vaccine.

Got the vaccine Pfizer and still got covid. Vaccine was painful at site an hurt for about a year. But was only drozzy for a day after.

POPS GOT MODERNA AND DIED. 😥

I had pain at the site of injection and a swollen lymph node in my armpit on the same arm after the pfizer booster shot, also just alot of fatigue but ig that's common

I got completely vaccinated and then got covid. Not fun.

I was already planning to get the vaccine when I first moved down to Texas and my ex boyfriend family forced me to get it or they were going to kick me out of their house while I was visiting him??? Let me know if you want to listen to the whole story cause I dont want to make a long paragraph then I already did

I got VERY sick for both of them. So much so that it took a week to recover, idk if anyone else experienced this either. Please do get your vaccine, just because mine didn't go well doesn't mean yours will too

I'm grateful I'm vaccinated. I did get covid and was fairly sick. I believe the vaccine is the reason why I was not hospitalized.

Couldn’t lift or lean on my arm for a couple days, sometimes felt tired or ill.

No problems with either shot. Have not received a booster- everyone I know who has had a booster has since come down with covid. I have not.

It was okay, especially after dealing with the Avonex shots

I have lupus but I didn't know at the time of the vaccines and I was sick for a month and had swelling and pain in my arm for about 3 months after both shots

This appears to be an old post. I didn't take any of them. I won't be taking any either. After all of the information that has come out and what's in them, to the tons of issues and deaths reported. I'll take the cold again. I am eat up with auto issues. I've had the cold twice. Made it through just fine. I'm glad others haven't had as bad of a time other than sore arms, fevers, headaches. But I feel so bad for the ones that went to the hospitals & never left. I pray things never happen like this again. Yet something tells me. It will.

And I don’t believe Covid is real

I don’t like the idea of someone putting something in my body and I don’t know what it is

I got my first two doses but haven’t gotten my booster… and I’m wondering if it’s worth it at this point? I have been exposed to COVID 2+ times since being fully immunized and I haven’t gotten it (both times were family members who got COVID and live in the same house with me) so does it make sense I get the booster when I know more people who have gotten the booster and then have since gotten COVID, or do I just stay where I’m at with my initial 2 shots??

I mean, I've gotten the shot and for 4 days I was weak and very lethargic, but after that I was fine. I've been vaccinated for almost a year, and even though I know I'm not immune to it, I'm protecting people who haven't had it yet. I am around someone that has a very bad immune system. So if they were to get it, it would kill them. So im doing my part and protecting them.

#1 i think i would be dead i had not vaccinated. I lucked out with the earlier variants. My husband caught covid in Dec 2020 and had 3 very long and serious visits to the ER. The latter one resulting in ER for almost a day before being stable enough to be admitted. Then just as contemplating ventilator, he started getting better. Problem is they sent him home. And i had to take care of him and not catch it myself. Somehow i didnt catch it. Then vaccines cane out and i got that as soon as i could. 2 Moderna early 2021. No significant reaction even though i had a significant reaction to stand tetanus booser just 2 months earlier. Booster feb 2022. Caught newest variant in Mid May 2022. Hit hard with mid respiratory (esophagus sore for a month). And first time since chemo 20 years ago, i had a fever (102); didnt even havexa fever with appenditis 7 years ago. Any way, i really dont think i would have made it through this covid episode without the vaccine. Went from slight cold, to major croup, phlegm clogging airway, burning at bottom of lungs, temp went from 97 to 102 in a couple hours, etc. Only thing is that we took the last booster with the flu vaccine at the same time. That was too much for both of our systems. Won't double up vaccines again.

I had to take it for school. I dont mind it to much since most of the vaccine is stuff that's already in the body and the dose is so low it has to be boosted so much. I havent had any more because the second one gave me the worst headache I've ever had and I couldnt move for a few days because of it. I haven't gotten covid yet though thank God.

As someone who is terrified of needles, I am so so so glad I got it. I'm immunocompromised, so when I did get covid, it hit me hard and left me wiped out on my partners couch for a couple days, barely conscious. Being vaccinated then likely saved my life.

I had no issues with shots 1 & 2 but 3(booster#1) was horrible. I was out of commission for 4dys. I've had covid 3x and hospitalized for a week only once in 2020. Also have taken the covid pill. So if my doc recommends a fourth shot/2nd booster then I'd get it.

I didn't and hadn't taken the COVID test because it will trigger my seizure and I don't need that to happen... it has been 4 years and a month since I had one and I just got my license back.

My family had COVID in May and those who'd gotten the vaccine previously were actually much sicker than those who were not vaccinated.

Horrid side effects! Highly allergic to moderna resulting in anaphylactic shock. And awful side effects from Johnson and Johnson including fever, nausea, and nerve pain so severe that just the air from the fan on low had me screaming in pain for days plus itching and hives that took 5 doses of oral Benadryl and one dose of iv Benadryl to reverse

All the symptoms I had were worth it and worth it to my family. Covid took the life of my son before a vaccine was invented. It's saving people from that loss.

I've had four doses of Moderna. I'm sad to say that it caused extreme depression, high anxiety, and just overall horrible for me for several days afterwards. BUT, I have not gotten COVID, and if I do my chances of dying are much less.

All three Pfizer shots knocked me down for the count for a week each. I was extremely tired and also experiencing nasty flare ups with them. All that said, I'm one of few who had reactions to the vaccine and was kept longer every time I got one just to make sure I'd be okay. Chalking it up to a poor, overwhelmed immune system and anxiety. And while it was hellish to go through, it isn't the worst of my pain experiences and it actively protects me so I'd do it again if need be in a heartbeat. 11/10 experience, also all the nurses who gave them to me were great. First one even made sure I knew she'd not leave my side while I was having an uncomfortable reaction. ❤️

I just had my 2nd booster 3 ago, this one got me worse than the others. For 36-40 hrs had a fever and was exhausted and of course arm pain. Also the injection was so high up on the arm that it hurt a muscle that's connected to my neck. That and the arm really hurt still.☹️

I'm thankful for the vaccine. My entire household is fully vaxxed. We all had covid earlier this year and I am so glad that we were vaccinated prior to becoming ill. It could have been so much worse. ❤️

A sore arm for s few hours and felt a little crappy for a few hours but that’s about it. Just feel better having it knowing I am at high risk. I still wear a mask if I am out in stores and doctor appointments

just got my 2nd booster slight headache and sore arm of course no other problems

Me and my husband are fully vaccinated yet we both still caught it. I had it three times. But I learned that the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting it. It just makes things more manageable when you do get it.

The Covid vaccine and booster made me super tired like I was almost dying and I got the j&j vaccine both times. I’m scared to get the next booster if I get it at all

I'm too anxious to get the vaccine. I know it's proven to help, but my brain always goes to the worst case scenario.

Felt like I got hit by a truck the day after my first dose but subsequent doses were virtually side effect free. Definitely worth it.

i didn’t have any notable side effects with either the first or second shot. i did run a fever with the booster though

I got all mine and my boosters. It has helped me battle COVID and I haven't needed to hospital for it. It saves lives. I understand not everyone can get it, especially people with certain immunocompromised disorders/diseases/stuff. But, I am also immunocompromised (undiagnosed 🙄) and works for me. It helps protect my family. All of use got our vaccines and only half of us actually got COVID. Half positive half negative. The science on these new vaccines is all real. I even have someone in my family who volunteered in the studies before they were released into the public. They work!

I can't have them and I'm terrified because of that😥

I never got any of them. But im not one of those types who bash people for their decisions. I have a lot of friends who have tho. I think its a matter of your choice❤️

Have not had the shot or COVID. ❤️🙏🏽 I have a very vunerable immune system and I stay away from ppl I Mainly stay inside. I make sure everyone else around me is covid free. My family members have had COVID and the shots. I have had neither, and it's going to stay that way. 🤗 Stay clear from others and keep your space clean. That's my ticket to a healthy life and it's been working well. 😌

I got two covid shots and still caught it three times. It was hell. But I have to say the vaccine may have kept it from becoming worse. So it's all good.

My whole family just got Covid and all we had we a fever and achy for a few days now we antibodies. Beat that.

I have had four doses of Moderna. Each round made my mental health really bad for a while after...we are talking extreme depression, high anxiety, etc. Each dose was worse than the last. I say this not to scare, but hopefully to comfort someone who had similar reactions.

I wanted to get it but I could never make the time to get it.
