I also got the second dose of the vaccine, last Friday. The day of I didn't feel anything. Then felt a lot of the same symptoms as TC but just not nearly as bad the next day. Felt like I was physically sick with the flu (muscle pains, chills, fatigue, headache) but my mind was functioning normally. It was a bizarre feeling. Like my body felt like shit but mentally I was ready to go do anything other than rest in bed.

The following day (Sunday) wasn't nearly as bad. Completely normal by Monday. I took an advil every 6 hours or so, I think that significantly made a difference.

If you are fearful of the vaccine because you think you will get covid-19 from it, that is just straight up impossible. If you are worried about the short term side effects, they only last 2-3 days (in most cases, some people don't feel any side effects at all). If you are worried about long term issues, that's understandable because long term testing was obviously not possible with these vaccines. However, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any significant long term effects...like at all.

So in short, get the vaccine, take some advil and be prepared for a couple days if feeling kind of crappy.
