    I hope your experience is better than mine was. As I said back in post #15 of this thread, my first Shingrix shot hurt more than the COVID shots did, and my second one was even worse, and also made me feel like crap for a day-and-a-half. Still 100% worth it, of course (my sister got shingles, and she said it was absolutely awful).

    Moderna second dose.

    elevated temperature for a few hours last night.
    Then pounding headache / dizziness over night
    Woke up around 5-6 Am because my body hurt

    they say it feels like you got hit by a bus. That is a great way to put it.

    Just got my second shot today at 2:30 P.M.(Phizer)
    So far so good. After first shot had alot of soreness in the arm and fatigue for 2 days.
    Hopefully tomorrow isn't too bad.

    Had my 2nd dose of Moderna on Sunday afternoon along with my mom and sister. I am in good health and shape but man the 2nd dose got me hard.

    Fever, sweats, aches, chills, drowsiness, and lack of movement for most of Sunday night all into Monday night. I went offline at work, be prepared to take a day off if you get a 2nd dose.

    It really varies by individual...my mom and sister were fine for the most part the next day. In fact my sister had surgery on Tuesday while I was still recovering.

    I do feel great now though so must be the immune system doing its job.

    My wife had Pfizer #2 yesterday (we were 4/4 in Aqueduct getting us out in under 30 minutes including the 15-minute after-shot wait). She felt fine yesterday, but today has been a bit tougher - a little fever, a little fatigue, a little bit of chills. It seems to be going away tonight, so no real complaints from her.

    I do want to comment that the workers and experience once inside the facility has been some of the best health experience I've had. These people make you feel welcomed and answer any questions.

    I agree with a lot of what you post so please don't take this the wrong way. If you don't want to get vaccinated, that is your choice. That said I don't feel bad about my decision to get vaccinated. I'm not afraid of needles and even if it turns out to be useless (which I don't think it will) at worst I've wasted 2 hours of my time. I waste more time watching the Jets play on Sundays

    I was thinking about being vaccinated until the J&J vaccine fiasco. I've always though that the flu shot is one of the biggest pharma scams and now the COVID vaccine starts looking pretty similar in that regard.
