Got my second vaccination today!!!

Got the Moderna vaccine. Friends of mine have had reactions to the second Moderna ranging from "Vaccination? What Vaccination?" to being laid low for a couple of days. I stocked up on Tylenol, Aleve, and Dr. Jack Daniel's elixir -- so, bring it on!!!

Vaccination was at 11:00 this morning, as of 9:00 PM, still feeling nothing but a slight sore arm.

Sweet Thing gets her second vaccination (Pfizer) April 24.

I'm gonna search Amazon for one of those "I've Been Vaccinated" T-shirts!!

Early Boomer here. Two days of moderate shoulder pain after shot #1; hoping for same or better results next week.

Hope your reaction stays mild.

I'm actually hoping for some reaction, just to assure me it's working. Mind you, not too much of a reaction, just enough so that I know I wasn't injected with saline solution.

at all with the first one.

For the second, though, while one staffer was talking to me at the passenger window another came up from behind and did it a bit higher and behind than usual. I wasn't looking that way and didn't feel it, just the quick swab. Turned out I was the last "arm" of her very long day and she just hit and ran.

I can't say I worried about saline solution, but I was nevertheless happy to poke the general area and find a sore spot, then and again later. And for the same reason I was happy when it started itching a bit the next day. Wishing you some little reassurance too.

Been 30 hours since my second Moderna -- no ill effects except for slightly sore shoulder where the needle went in.

Daughter had her second Moderna this morning, she's feeling achy and tired.
