It gives me peace of mind to know I'm less at risk for getting COVID now, and my family/community is more protected as a whole. The only side effect I had was achey muscles for a couple days afterwards.

The first shot gave me a dull headache the same day but was easily treated with ibuprofen. The second shot have me a milder headache that day. The day after, I felt tired and feverish without actually running a fever. And of course the injection site is pretty sore for a couple days.

I had a night with high fever and shivering. Also, my injection shoulder was extremely painful for 3 days.

I had a headache and arm pain for about a week after both doses, but otherwise had no issues and haven't had anything still after 7 months.

I only had fatigue after the second shot, no other side effects at all. I usually have stronger reactions to vaccines, so that was a very pleasant surprise, but I would have considered it worth while even if I had gotten sick for awhile afterwards.

After the first and second one I only felt fatigue and had pain in my arm where i got the injection. Also I had migraines every day for a week after.

never had any issues with it walked right through it just had a sore arm for a few days

Got Pfizer, had no side effects but arm swelling. Feeling good about it

I was totally fine. Just felt pain in my arm for couple of days after the injection

I didn't really have any but I don't recommend moving half way across the country the next day

The first one was horrible! I had fever and fatigue but the second one was easier. Im happy that I did it though, makes me more calm.

I got the Pfizer one. I was nervous about it, I'm always nervous about needles, but this one moreso because of the rush and how a lot of people are against it. Besides a sore arm for a couple days I had no side effects. I also noticed it cleared up my runny nose both times (I have seasonal allergies) but that was probably psychological.

The only side effect I experienced was soreness at the injection site. Other than that.. nothing at all.

Tired and a sore arm. That’s it!

I had a sore arm, for both, but that was it.

I had 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Other than a sore arm and the sniffles for a few days, I experienced no problems.

I’ve had 3 doses of Pfizer so far and have only had a sore arm and some body aches after the second and third dose. Other than that, no other side effects.

I had two doses of Pfizer, about to get my booster. Had a sore arm, and a mild fever after the second dose, but otherwise totally fine!!

I got Pfizer, both shots. Unfortunately I did develop neuropathy (Guillain-Barré syndrome). My neurologist said he isn’t sure if it was due to the vaccine or related to Covid-19 when I got it last December. Other than that the vaccine just gave me a bit of a sore arm. :)

My arm was sore obviously, and I was super tired the next day. That's about it! I heard some people having their period come back and worse but that didnt happen to me.

Slightly sore arm and tired for a day or two but not a bad experience

I got the Pfizer first shot sore arm second shot nothing

I had a reaction to the 1st Manderna and a worse reaction to the 2nd one.

With my conditions and sensitivity to inflammation, I reacted horribly to both Pfizer shots. They left me so swollen and completely in pain throughout my body. I would do it again though since it means keeping myself and everyone around me safer from COVID. Much better than intubation and being alone in ICU

I had the J&J, and I slept the 1st night - my roommate said I yelled out in pain (I was asleep, idk!). After that I had only (to me) normal achy run down feeling. My friend had the J&J, and was fine for 3 days, then felt like he got hit by a truck with body aches and exhaustion. Our preexisting conditions also change how our immune system responds. I think that explains the difference between me & my friend

got my vaccine as soon as i could. it’s been great knowing that i’m less at risk and so are those around me. i knew i had to get vaccinated when my niece was born. i couldn’t put her at risk. i feel great and am getting ready to get my flu vac.

Got the shot in July, was dizzy for about 10 minutes with first shot, second shot no side effects. No big deal

I got mine in April, and the second dose in may, it made me really sick but that's how I react to every vaccine so it wasn't surprising, other than that it was completely fine

A vaccine gives you a tiny bit of the virus so your body can produce antibodies, that shouldn't affect medication. I suppose there could be an ingredient in the delivery system that would negatively affect some medications but I haven't heard anything and it's such a small amount. The best thing is to discuss this with your Doctor and/or pharmacist and they can address your concerns.

@Nightowl the mRNA vaccines actually teach your body how to make a protein to trigger an immune response in your body. It doesn’t give you a part of the virus. This spike protein is completely new and never been used before. @sleeplessness19 definitely discuss with your doctor but do keep in mind they might not know either. It’s all very new.

Thanks @sleepysleeps. I guess that's what vaccines were up til now. That's why consulting a medical professional is always the best advice.

when I was finally medically cleared 3 weeks ago I got my first dose - I got Pfizer. I had a 101.4 fever for about 15 hours & severe chills, but nothing else. as soon as I was able to take benadryl it all went away. I'm getting my 2nd dose this week, so wish me luck!

I felt sick only after the last one.. I had low fever, my hand and neck were really painful and my Crohn’s symptoms were worse. I had really bad stomach aches, nausea and diarrhea 😖

👍I didn't really have any issues except mild fever and sure arm

I had a really bad rash in the arm that I had the shots in and felt run down but really nothing much else.

I had a bad flare up. My inflammation was crazy. I was in bed for two weeks. But hopefully I won't die from covid.

Felt sick for a few days with each shot. Good other then that.

I had the Pfizer vaccine. After the first shot, I had injection site soreness and felt tired. After the second, I ran a 101.7 fever for about 18 hours and had a headache. I get my booster tomorrow.

I've had all 3 doses of the Pfizer. I was pregnant during the first 2 (around 13 and 16 weeks along). Very tired after the 1st and 3rd, I had a migraine and vomiting with the second...but that could have been from my pregnancy 🤷🏼‍♀️

I received my vaccine in May, the only problem I had was a sore arm.

I had a sore arm and slept a bunch for a day, then I was fine.

The 1st dose just made my arm hurt, but the 2nd dose gave me a sore arm an some nausea, but that's it.

After my 2nd shot had 101° fever back in May. Had to miss work

I had Moderna. I just kinda slept all day, thank fuckin goodness. I was so paranoid.

Sore arm and mild headache is all I had. I can't say if I got sick after 2nd dose because I was already in a flare before the 2nd dose, so I didn't feel any different or worst.

After my second dose, I felt like I had flu for one day. The first dose was mild, with just a little pain in the injection area.

I had no effects from the vaccine but did have a UC flare up a couple months later which I feel is related (no other triggers identified). No regrets because a flare up is better than death by COVID but it ruined my remission which is frustrating 😥

It hurt for a little bit in the arm over the following night but overall that’s it

My arm only hurt for like a day

My arm hurt for 3 days while working, had mild cold symptoms, a little nausea on one day, but overall was worth it ❤️

My first shot just gave me arm pain just like the flu shot, the second shot game me chills for like an hour or so but I jumped in the shower and I was ok 👍. Taking the shot may have a reaction just like if you get Covid but I rather take my chances with the shot because the risks are a lot less then getting Covid. Ask your doctor for advice if your doubting it based on your health.

I did not have any reaction from the Covid shot.

I had two dhots of Moderna. Rashing first dhot, no side affects second.

I had my 1st shot on Monday and I've been really tired and slow to get my chores done. Having to rest more.

Had no symptoms from either doses of the Pfizer and it was quick and easy injections! I did them both in my right arm, since im right handed, and it went rlly well like nothin happened.

Had no side effects and didnt even feel the prick!

Sore arm with both had the Moderna. 2nd time I say I had more side effects, not feeling sick per day, but just tired

Last time I was sick was jan or Feb of 2020, thought I had flu was sick for like 3 days then on a sunday I felt fine so I thought it was over, well monday I was sick again, it was like I had 2 illnesses, but no one was resting at the time so I guess I'll never know

*testing

I have a chronic lung disease so I was so terrified of catching covid, I stopped working. I got the Pfizer vaccine, and the only side effect I had was extreme exhaustion for 3 days. I feel safer knowing even if I catch it, it won't hit me as hard as if I wasn't vaccinated, and hopefully wouldn't be hospitalized or worse.

I just had my booster and felt achy for a day. I think it’s extremely important to get especially if you are immunocompromised!! I’m a nurse too so if you have more questions feel free to reach out!

I just got mine yesterday. Today I feel like I got hit by a bus. And my arm is bruised where I got it (normal for me) I have an autoimmune disorder so my doctor strongly suggested I get it. And my therapist hopes it will help my anxiety.

We’ve had mRNA technology since the late 60s/early 70s so the technology is pretty old— we just haven’t had a chance to use it in the US until now (source: Johns Hopkins). If you’ve had COVID, you’re more likely to have side effects than if you haven’t had COVID and got the vaccine, with any vaccine. Personally, I got Pfizer and was just really tired 24 hours after my second dose (I slept a lot, was really light headed). After the first 24 hours passed, I was totally fine! I didn’t have COVID before getting vaccinated. Overall, getting the vaccine is a way better option than getting COVID! Whoever gives you the vaccine keeps for 30 minutes to monitor for any side effects, and tou can report any weird events to the CDCs VAERS system

I was only sore at the injection site for a few days, nothing else happened.

I felt sick for two days after my first Moderna shot. After the follow-up, I felt sick for 3 days. I recently received my booster shot and felt ill for 2 days afterwards. Well worth it, though.

Got the booster shot (moderna) yesterday. Still experiencing minor side effects : low grade fever, headache, body aches. Not as bad as the second does . I got it at CVS and the pharmacist told me the moderna booster shot is only half a dose of the second shot . Maybe that’s why I’m still having some mild side effects

Moderna - I couldn’t move my arm after the first one and I slept all day, otherwise was ok. After the second one I had a little more pain in my upper body and was also really tired but otherwise I didn’t have many effects.

I got the Pfizer one and the first one I had a horrible headache and tiredness. Second one just a mild sore arm.

No side effects at all

Maybe a little sick for a day afterwards. Aside from that, no issues. 10/10 would definitely recommend

1st time, my arm was extremely sore. 2nd time I woke up sick, chills, aches and pains, dizziness, extreme headaches and exhaustion. However, I did end up getting COVID about 3 months before. I’m waiting to get my booster till I finish school and I don’t have to work, just incase I do get sick again.

Both shots were easy! I got the Mederna. My arm was a little sore and that’s it!

I had the virus last fall and have since had three shots. Each one made me terrified I had the virus again because of symptom resurgence but have given me an added peace of mind after that passes. Pain at injection site, extreme fatigue and body aches, chills, and a low grade fever

I took Pfizer. The rest of my family took Moderna and felt weary. If you want to feel good after your shot I recommend Pfizer.

I had Pfizer. I was tired the next day, but over all I didn't really have any side effects

My first dose was fine! With my second I had the midnight fever and chills but I broke it with a heated blanket and was just tired! With the third I just had a bit of a sore shoulder! All 3 were Pfizer!

So happy to be fully vaccinated plus booster

The first one my arm hurt SO BAD, I almost went to the hospital about it. The injection site itself and surrounding area were fine, not hot or red, but my whole arm hurt so bad to move and sleep on for 4-5 days. Second my arm hurt mildly for about 2 days but I had a low fever and felt kind of blah.

I had an awful reaction to it. I was so sick for days, even more so with my second dose. Come to find out I was having an allergic reaction. I'm also currently getting my heart checked out as I started experiencing problems once I was fully vaccinated.

My body is already on fire - flare-up. I get to not touch a vaccine yet.

First dose (February) - nothing Second dose (March) - next day I was tired, flushed, and had a small headache Booster (October)- next day I woke up feeling okay-ish, but then I made the mistake of running an errand, and when I woke up from a nap, my whole body ached so badly. Temperature got up to about 100, but all of that went away after less than 24 hours.

FWIW, I had Moderna

I spent three days not being able to sleep on my side both times, and i got body aches, headaches, fever and fatigue pretty bad. Im going to do it again for the booster though. Its worth the feeling of security, and being able to go out again.

Headache, arm hurt couple days.

I got my 1st and 2nd shots while my husband was home so he could keep an eye on me in case anything untoward might happen. I was fortunate enough to not have any major side effects of any kind. Now I'm just waiting to get my booster shot. I still have a couple of more months to go before I can.

i was kinda tired and sore a day or so after i got both my shots but other than that i was fine

I've gotten both doses and the booster, all Moderna. I had literally zero side effects besides a sore arm the day after each one

Sleeplessness19 - I had no ill effects with my anti-psych meds at all. In fact I had only the usual sore arm at the injection site. I had the Moderna vaccine both times and when I go get my booster I will be getting the Pfizer vaccine. I've had two DVTs and I certainly don't need anymore!

Fine. Side effects for a day or two then was all better.

I had a severe allergic reaction to both of my manderna(spelling). So my Dr has put in my medical records that I am allergic. Every patient is different. So I hope no one makes a decision solely on my experiences.

My first dose didn’t result in any side effects, only a sore arm. The second one however was quite a rollercoaster. I got hot, achey, tight skin, loss of appetite, headache, and clogged nose. Regardless I would get the vaccine again, I’ve had family members and friends who refused to get the vaccine and have died, young and old. Feeling terrible for a few days is better than lying in a hospital bed with those same symptoms and an increased chance of death.

we got pfizer and the first shot was fine - we went out to a ranch immediately afterwards. the second one though was bad. i got headache and i threw up the night i got it. i am not getting the booster until i am not as busy as i currently am in casr it gets really bad

I have a needle fear I will have a panic attack and punch or kick the doctor so I can’t get it 😢

Made me sick for 4 weeks with first shot

I got moderna. I had body aches and chills for two days but that was the extent of my reactions. I was really nervous about possible side effects but luckily I had my partner supporting me and they came with to the appointment. I’ve heard it’s affected everyone a little differently

i got pfiezer. the first shot i was okay with and the second one hurt my arm a lot and i also felt like i had a really severe flu for about 48 hours

My body is already on fire - huge flare up since august so I’m not gonna add fuel to the fire

the first one was alright but the second one made me sick and i had to leave work early 😥

I received both the Pfizer vaccines. Haven't gotten a booster yet. But my experience with it was positive. My arm was super sore with the first shot, but I managed pretty well.

Mmm I got Moderna and also moderna booster. I was feverish and headache and body ache and obviously pain at the site. But a warm compress helped the site pain and moving my arm alot. I had the effect for a day. Body pain for like 1.5 to 2 days. But not bad. The second was the worst for me and the first shot I had no issues. The booster I had body pain but that's it. I'm glad I got it though. 👍

My experience was very uneventful I had no bad side effects to it I got the Pfizer vaccine and booster

Both shots were awful for me. The first one was worse, I had vertigo, nausea, migraines, aches, etc. The second wasn't as bad. Mostly just aches and migraines. But im fully vaccinated and feel it was completely worth the few days I was down

I had a 2 week flare up with the second shot. The booster wasn’t half as bad as the second shot 😊

Oh man, I reacted so poorly to the second dose. It sent me to the hospital. With all my conditions and illnesses, my body is so sensitive and I guess it got overwhelmed. I was in observation for 4 days while nurses slowly got my electrolytes back up (because they were dangerously low from throwing up for 3 days straight :’) ) At least I’m immunized now, but I’m very afraid of getting the booster and repeating what happened!

I got both doses, but after what I can only assume was a mast cell reaction that included a delayed onset depression/ anxiety attack thing (I don’t actually have either) I am thinking it might be better to just stay in quarantine.

I thought id be fine but my dumbass went to Walmart and frew up. My poor rph KEEP IN MIND THO its normal for me. I just wasn’t expecting it.. just vasovagal. I was fine the first shot otherwise!! I (obv) hate needles and it rlly didnt hurt :0! The second one tho i was fine with but i got a headache and the next day i felt like i had a cold. Like just the body aches and malaise feeling. Feeling awful and laying in bed. Then i was fine!! My patients tell me the 3rd puts them out for a day too so im not excited

i’m a very sickly person but i surprisingly had no reaction besides a sore arm and some fatigue

I had covid in Dec 2020 and it’s the first time in my life I honestly thought I might die from an illness. I’m so glad I got the vaccine for any level of protection. I had Pfizer for both doses…the first I had arm soreness and took naps for a few days. The second dose was barely noticeable. I am truly thankful to have both natural and artificial immunity.

First one hurt my shoulder like hell, second one my shoulder didn’t hurt but I felt really tired and achy so I took some children’s Tylenol since it comes as a syrup and it helped greatly

I've had three Covid shots and no problems at all!

Made me feel like i was dying after the second shot moderna increase my period to heavy instead of normal had to constantly change. Couldn’t even eat felt dizzy i told my obgyn she didn’t really help

neptune_mars do you plan on getting a booster shot? I heard that if you got the Moderna, the booster should be Pfizer and vice-versa. I'm still a few months away from getting my booster, though.

I had no issues on the first one but the second one I had a normal reaction and stayed in bed and felt gross for a few days and then I was fine :)

I had Pfizer. First and second shots were fine other than extreme pain and inflammation at the site. The third shot (booster) left me in bed all day no enery and no appetite.

I was just sick for about a day both doses and then I was fine. The first dose I was also having an adverse effect to a new med I had started so it mixed with the covid vaccine side effects and I was completely out of commission miserable all day. The second dose? Just sore and a little nauseous. Nothing a good ride through the city in the car didn't help. Plus making sure I actually filled my belly too. All in all I'm ready for the booster tbh.

I had COVID before the vaccine and only got a little sleepy when I got my second dose. Highly recommend getting the vaccine even if you have had it or are not at risk

I haven't had a bad reaction to either Pfizer initial shots and didn't have any reaction to the booster, aside from a sore arm. My girlfriend had nasty reactions to both rounds of the pfizer vaccine though.

Fine with all three doses

all three doses (all moderna) made me sleep for a couple days straight, but that was about it besides injection site pain. definitely worth it.

I had no problems with the covid vaccines. I got both and the booster shot. (:

felt kinda gross for a day after the first, just sore arm after the second. def worth it for me.

My first and second weren’t bad but my booster shot kicked my butt. It felt like I had a flare of all my conditions at once especially my RA. I was in so much pain for almost a week

For the first vaccine I was fine, but the second one was so bad. I actually thought I was gonna die, so I lied on the floor and cried

Very sick from both. Nausea and hot flashes.

I developed an autoimmune disorder after a vaccine so I am refusing to get another one unless I absolutely need it. I’m young and relatively healthy and had covid twice already! I’m worried it would cause me to get sicker over time.

The first dose I had of Pfizer caused the lymph nodes in my neck to swell really bad and they didn’t go back to normal for a couple of weeks. The second dose went better, I didn’t have a reaction like I did from the first dose but I did feel like I had a hangover the next day lol

first shot (pfizer) went fine & the second shot i had muscle soreness & was tired but felt good enough to go to work still

I got moderna and I had no symptoms other than a sore arm at the injection site and I just booked my booster for next weekend so hopefully all is good there too

Greatest nap of my life

I got the first shot at 6pm and the next day my arm was really sore. I ended up taking Motrin but the next day it wasn’t that bad. Other than that no problems. The second shot I didn’t have any symptoms. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

The first one just had me sleeping for two days and a very sore arm, the second dosage I got with while fighting a sinus infection with swollen neck lymph nodes lol soooo I didn’t have the best experience I just felt like a very bad sinus infection with fevers and headaches and I haven’t gone for the 3rd one because I’ve been fighting a cold

Got Pfizer - first shot gave me hot flashes (okay, but manageable). Second shot made me feel ill and I should’ve taken a day or two off.

I go it as soon as I could!! I got Pfizer 1st two doses and the booster. I was exposed in close contact at least 4 times. I have tested negative each times. I know without a doubt I would have been at least hospitalized with it if I didn't get the vaccine. That firt days after we're hard, but nothing like being hospitalized

I had no problem with the first one the second one I had cold chills ache body the bosster I was fine

I had a sore arm. Not much more than that.

I had covid in November 2020 and then got my vaccine in January and February. Covid was thankfully mild for me, the first vaccine gave me the worst sore arm I've ever had, the second one made me sick for a few hours the next day. Worth it, though. Waiting to see when I can get my booster through work.

Both doses i just had mild flu symptoms nothing crazy and im gonna get my booster sometime in the next week so we'll see how that goes

I don't get sore anymore for normal vaccines (thanks immunosuppressant meds!) First dose, felt like had cold water running down my arm for hours, got super light headed and thought a would pass out about 2 hrs post shot. 2nd dose was just minor soreness and no other symptoms. 3rd dose/booster no soreness or symptoms at all. 🤔

Had no reaction to my first shot. About 18 hours after my second shot I had slight aches and was just very fatigued. I got my booster yesterday at 4 (it’s almost 7 the next day). During the night my body started reacting to the shot. I got awful aches, joint pain, a fever, and in the middle of the night I vomited. My stomach is fine now but I’m not feeling any better yet

I got Pfizer. My first one I had no side effects. My second one I was fine, felt a little tired while I was out shopping the day after and went home and took a nap and then was fine otherwise. I got my booster in November and I figured since my first two I was okay I would be fine but I did feel pretty achy and yucky with the booster for a couple days. But I’d rather feel icky for a couple days than end up intubated. Or shed more virus and potentially give it to someone else. Totally worth it. No other symptoms from it.

Didn’t get the shot yet but I’m planning on getting it . I was afraid of it hurting me in some way because of my condition but now I want to get the Covid vaccine. But I did get the flu shot and everything was fine.

Everytime I get a vaccine, I get Covid Arm!!!

my first shot was fine, i thought i was dying with the second(headaches, crazy fever, thought i was going to vomit, and just crazy pain that only lasted about 12 hours) and then my booster was headaches, a bit of a fever and some tachycardia that was a bit concerning but ended up being fine

I had no problems with the first shot and the second dose made me feel tired and a headache the next day only. I got Covid months after being fully vaccinated before the booster came out. A month later I got the flu and was really sick for 2 weeks. It’s taken me 2 months to feel like myself again. I’m glad I got vaccinated because Covid didn’t hit me hard thank goodness! Flu knocked me down!

Since I am high risk, with a chronic lung condition, I have had the two vaccines and see my Dr Tues, to possibly get a booster shot

Only achey arms and that's all. It was a great decision

I didn't know I had OCD at the time. I got Johnson & Johnson first. My aunt went me or I would have chickened out or canceled my appointment. I got my first shot late afternoon on a Thursday. I had a mild fatigue and a mild headache that lasted about 2 days. I got the booster (Pfizer) in October 2021. I was nervous. My arm hurt a little at the injection site. Again, had mild fatigue. Got the booster 6:30 pm on a Friday. Felt a little off Saturday and totally back to normal by Sunday morning.

I got my booster the weekend before last. I was super miserable on Monday. I had a fever, I was exhausted, and everything hurt so bad...

I had a little fatigue and a slight headache with shots 1 & 2, but that was it

My body swelled up and I couldn't move. I had a fever for about a week with each shot and I was pretty sick. On the bright side I've been exposed to covid a handful of times since then and I haven't tested positive for it

Over all not too many… Having Turners, I was a bit anxious

Yep. Your arms gonna hurt. You’ll have symptoms a little more worse than the flu. Stops at 24-48 hours after shot. People bitchin for no reason

I think it really messed with my condition. All the sudden objects are talking to me. It feels like I’m in a massive room and I’m an ant and the sounds are getting louder and louder every day. The echos of my past scare me. But this wasn’t the case before the vaccine.

First shot was not bad just sore arm second one was bad…fever every joint hurt, muscles throbbed even while laying still, heart palpitations. The day after I started to get heartburn and it was the worst heartburn I’ve ever had. My chest was on fire the skin was burning. It took about 3 days to go away. Got an EKG it was normal. Booster was totally fine no side effects other than mild injection site pain

I can’t get it cause I had a glue shot couple years ago got so sick from it I was off work for a month

Flue I mean

I’m 3 times vaccinated and I’m very glad I did. Being immunocompromised is terrifying atm. I did feel REALLY sick with my booster though.

I was really tired and my asthma was a bit more aggravated than usual, as well as a dull headache but that only really lasted 3 days max. The booster did pretty much the same thing, accept my asthma wasn’t has bad. Glad I got it though. Would rather went through what I did then being at a higher risk and/or actually getting covid.

First one was fine, but when I got my second, I got Covid 19 for a whole week.

First one felt fine, second I had fatigue for a few days. I felt it was the best for me and glad I choose to vaccinate myself.

My first shot had my arm sore to the point where if i moved it i would feel like someone punched me really hard or pinched me :T

I got the vacation and I still got covid. All the adults in my house with it end up getting too. Kids never got it and they don't have the vacation. But I also took the most extreme measures to avoid contamination

Got covid twice. Once right after I had the vaccine and a second time early this year

i had no issues with both it felt like i had allergies like a stuffy nose a little cough and my throat was a little sore but it went away quickly

My experience was that it really was not that bad, I mean for both doses, and the third. Not bad at all, I did suffer from mild exhaustion after the second one but man I tell you what....if I had covid before the vaccine, I would have been toast

I had a sore arm & it was a bit red

Sadly after the second injection I started to experience seizures again. Before that I was seizure free for about 3 years.. the vaccine was the only thing that changed!

First wasn’t too bad, just a sore arm. Second caused major flu like symptoms and I felt pretty sick. I honestly think the worst for me was my booster shot, because it gave me a headache unlike any I’ve ever had before. I have a history of chronic migraines but that headache was the absolute worst I have ever experienced.

My doctor told me that since I'm Immunocomprised that I shouldn't get mine yet.

I was only sore in my arm for the initial shot, but the second one hit me much worse (still worth it though). I woke up in the middle of the night and threw up, then I just felt heavily fatigued and a little chilly the rest of the day. Nothing I couldn’t handle though. When I got my booster I did not have any symptoms.

My partner on the other hand had severe symptoms from his second dose. He had muscle soreness so bad that he want bed bound the day after he received it. His symptoms cleared up completely the following day though, which was quite funny.

felt completely fine (other than hating needles) however, passed out after the second one 😅 sore arm as usual after shots but i’m glad i’m doing what i can to keep everyone safe

First dose- cold-like symptoms that lasted through second dose. No soreness. Second dose- puked about 16 hours after getting it. Then was completely fine, minus a sore arm. Third (aka booster) dose- cold+flu-like symptoms for about 5 days.

I actually had no problems with the two shots, aside from obvious soreness. However the booster shot knocked me out for two days 😂

I'm 23 with the Pfizer vaccine. My first two shots were fine. But my third one, I had an injection site reaction. And it stayed for about a month later. Being the size of an egg, extremely itchy, and bright red

I was asked if I was on blood thinners after my shots both times.(haven't gotten boosted yet)

Injection site was sore for 3 days with every vaccination, that was pretty much it

Just had my second booster. No problems at all except a sore arm

I was forced to get it because im a nurse or I would lose my job, first shot was fine the second one made me very very sick for over a week. 103 fever for days, throwing up, diarrhea, felt like I was hit by a truck..that was 8 months ago and my immune system is shot and im so tired all the time it's hard to get up and function

I got all three, and hated everyone of them. The first two made my arm hurt for a couple of days. The last one gave me cold chills, sweating, and I was extremely tired. If they have a forth one I am not getting it.

This is a bit tough for me because I got the booster in late December then horribly sick about two weeks later. So congested and had a feeling of not being able to breathe. In some ways I wonder if my nasal passages have been swollen since. I don't know if I had Covid or not. I probably wouldn't get another booster unless I had to for some reason.

I got 2 madernas and caught it 3x

I was totally against it at first, but since I worked in a nursing home and my parents are elderly I decided to get it...not long after it came out. I had the Moderna. The first one was fine but the second one made me sick for about three days, like a bad case of the flu. I had covid last December and I truly feel that being vaccinated kept me from being much sicker and being hospitalized. I'm 64 and diabetic. I got pretty sick, but with advice from my RN daughter and my niece that works in a hospital with covid patients, I come through it without major complications. I'm not getting the booster.

The second shot make my back hurt & my head hurts if I know all that was going happen then I wouldn't had got the shot if I had a do over I would never would got the shot

I have three, I got really sick with the second one but the rest were fine.

The first shot was fine but the second shot I was really sore and couldn’t move. It lasted only for a day though then I was back to normal

I had no reaction from the first dose other than sore arm. The second dose I had intense muscle pain, like crying out in pain bad, and increased migraines from my usual episodic migraines for the next 2 weeks. Booster triggered a 64 hour migraine, my longest ever. Nothing touched the symptoms but I did not have vomiting and I was near broke so I did not go to urgent care or ER.

I got the worst case of cold/flue symptoms of my life. They lasted a week. I never got the second shot.

I had gotten the Moderna vaccine. The 1st one I felt I had a cold afterward just for a day. The 2nd one I literally got sick felt like the flu and the booster just a sore arm.

Had first and second shot amd then boster and then ended up with the cold one of covid

Had no big issues. Took both, and booster fine. Then tested positive months later and was a bit congested and coughing, and slept for almost 3 days straight. Still have a bit of brain fog from it

Felt sick for about 12 hours after shots 1 and 2. Then no issues. After the booster, same 13 hours of feeling sick, but I strangely started getting periods again (I hadn't had one in over a year with my IUD). Talked to my obgyn and she said that happens sometimes and it should go away in 2-3 months, and she was right. No issues since then!

I was so terribly sick but then I never got Covid *knock on wood* the vaccine kicked my ass so hard but while almost everyone I know got it I didn't. I did however get the regular flu twice 🤷

I have fibro and asthma issues..I got two vaccines and one booster...no side effects...

I had no problems with the first 2. When I got the booster I felt like I had flu for a few days. It's because the first 2 shots were half doses, which makes up one whole dose. The booster is one full dose at one time. Because I have an autoimmune illness I was eligible for the full dose. Now for the second booster I will only get the half dose once more. I haven't had covid, and pray I never do. 🙏🏾

i’m vaxxed, went to the justin bieber concert and the girl i was hanging around after the concert told us she wasn’t vaxxed cause she didn’t believe in it and if she needed to she’d get a fake vax card. 2 DAYS LATER I TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID

Had no problems at all.

I am 70 and have taken no vaccine...worked around the public and have had no problems. I won't be taking that stuff in my body.

Not my cup of tea.

I didn't have many sideffects (swollen arm,headache,feeling yucky) from my original dose (jj&j) but since my booster was a different variety (phizer) it completely knocked me on my ass, probably because the two were different. I had a migraine for like four straight days after my booster...and a swollen arm,but that's just usual for me when it comes to injections.

i have an extreme hate for needles but i didn’t necessarily make me feel side effects. the second one was terrible, i was in extreme pain telling them “im going to pass out, im going to faint” (i have pots) and HE TELLS ME “you’re being dramatic it’s just a small needle” excuse me? 😭 i pass out beyond my control, sir.

I only got one shot of Moderna. I've had arm pain and chest pain since receiving it in 2021 which is why I've never gotten the 2nd shot.

I was fine with the first and second but got a little achy with the third.

I never got mine and probably never will everyone was so worried about me and getting it multiple times cause I have a super week immune system. But only got once and had for 3 days that was over a year ago but my man gave it to me and he got the worse of it. And still struggles over a year later from it. He got vaccine only cause he was living with his parents and with then being up in age they insisted he get or he be wearing triple masks whenever he came into their home.

I had Moderna 1 & 2. With both were 24-48 hours of fever, freezing, shivering and fatigue. It also caused my Fibromyalgia to flare really bad.

I got both Vaccines and 2 boosters and I can honestly say that I had no problems with them, except for some pain in my arm.

I had to take extra time to rest after them, but no complications. Totally worth it to avoid complications of the virus being added to the conditions I already have

Still scared to get it with my conditions

First shot made me pretty ill with flu like symptoms (low grade fever, fatigue, muscle aches that were outside of my normal pain) for about 4 days, and I felt more fatigued than usual for about a week. Second shot was easier for me, I had an intermittent headache for about 3 days that was easily treated with Tylenol, and my arm was pretty sore and I was tired for a day or two after, but no fever that time and just had to take it easy for 2 days after. Third shot I had a sore arm the day of and mild headache the day after but past that no issues. Other than the first shot, the reaction I had for the 2nd and 3rd shot were pretty much identical to how I feel after my yearly flu shot. And given my living situation with high risk immunocompromised family members who were advised by their doctors to not get the shot, it made more sense to my personal risk assessment to get the shots and take a half week off and feeling crappy for a bit after the first one than to not. I'm still taking precautions and wearing my masks and socially distancing to help protect my family, but I'm very grateful for the added layer of protection I have now

I was fine apart from a sore arm.

Nope

No issues with it at all, I waited a while for testing to have more research done but I got the first and second one just find. I personally didn't even get sick from it. Just a little sore. My college offered J&J but I got Pfizer

I didn't have covid, my first dose gave me a headache and a sore arm. My second dose didn't really phase me. My partner *might* have had covid before tests were available, he had a fever and headache the first dose. Second dose was a fever and stomach issues.

i had alot of soreness for the first one, mild for the second and barely any for the booster. other than soreness, i had no problems

I had no problems. Got it in my 2nd trimester and both my baby and I are great! He's 7 months old now.

I had no reaction to the first dose, second dose though brought an onslaught of fatigue, drowsiness and my hip pain was 2x worse. I called my mom in tears because I physically couldn’t do anything I was so exhausted. It was during the Summer but I had to attend drivers ed and after that I came home and slept through the rest of the day, 12pm-7/8pm. Would get it again in a heartbeat, though.

Have any of you seen the video of the guy who invented the mRNA technology?

First one gave my a bad headache and I slept all day, the next 2 I was totally fine (honestly I usually feel worse after the flu shot than I did Covid shots). I’m grateful for getting them!

i got the pfizer for the first 2 and felt achy and sore after the second one but was pretty much fine. i also got a pfizer booster and experienced pretty much the same.

I had no issues with it and I haven’t gotten sick or anything.

It gave me a light headache for a couple days but nothing too bad. I’m glad I’m able to help protect myself and the people around me.

My experience with the shot was way better than I thought it would be

I got covid and was so incredibly sick I lined right up to get my vaccination when I recovered. I had an awful reaction to the infusion, I only had some arm pain from the vaccine at the injection site.

Horrible reaction. I already had reactivated epilepsy from my initial covid experience. So a little bit of tremors but after the shot I was having such violent ones I couldn't hold anything and sometimes fall. I also got a rash had it biopsied which came back as a drug reaction

I didn't get one, there's not enough testing done yet with epilepsy

Still got it

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

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.

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 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.

I felt like I got hit by a truck the day after my second vaccine dose, from what I remember, but then I got better. I keep forgetting to get my booster though!

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 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❤️

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
