I'm hoping I don't get sick or have side effects. I'm still recovering from surgery in April and haven't been quite right since.

Anecdotally, drinking lots of water helps with the COVID vax.

Also anecdotally, having kept up on your shots in the first place helps a lot.

I know a lot of people who fit both categories and none of us had any side effect. Nothing at all.

If this is your first shot since kindergarten and you drink Monster, Red Bull and soda, it may suck.

Tylenol, and other OTC should help.

Anyway, don't worry. Any side effect is moderate compared to COVID itself.

Stay well and safe, and as one human to another, thanks for getting vaxxed.

Depends on which one you get. I got Moderna and didn't have any issues after the first shot, but after the second shot I felt like ass and ran a 102 fever for a day. Woke up the next and felt fine.

Anecdotally, I don't agree with much of this. My wife and I are both in great shape, exercise regularly, chug water so much that we own a water cooler, and have been up to date on all our vaccines, and we both got railed by pfizer #2.

Meanwhile a couple of my friends who don't exercise, drink a lot of soda and eat junk food, they got off pretty scott free.

Not saying you're wrong, just pointing out my own anecdotal experience lol.

Same for me, I am in good shape and both shots kicked my ass. Both gave me the typical fever for the next day, but for about 2 weeks after I had a horrible cough and lost my voice. Had to sit in a steam shower at times just to get relief from the cough

No worries my friend. I prefaced both comments with "anecdotal". Obviously YMMV,

I just fell asleep for about 4 hours. Nothing else.
