Current Events > Did you have any side effects from your covid vaccination?

(+) Yeah! (+)

A lot of people report nausea or headaches.

I didn't get that but first jab my left arm went really numb and weak about an hour after the jab for about 9 days.

I'm super lucky because the doctor asked "do you want it on your left or right arm" and I was like "Ummmmm left I guess " and since I'm right handed if my right arm was numb like that i wouldn't have been able to work for a week.

Second jab was fine but It bled a lot. I think the doctor messed up. The needle was twice the size as the first jab needle.

Pfizer for the record

What was your experience?


---

I got Moderna, my arm hurt for three days and I couldn't lift it above my shoulders. No other side effects.

---

I forget what my vaccine was, but my arm was weak and slightly achy for the next 24 hours, as if I had carried heavy weights with it. I'm glad I chose the left arm. I couldn't even open the fridge without wincing.
I also felt enfeebled, like I had woken up ten minutes agofor the remainder of the day.
Other than those temporary inconveniences, I was fine.

---

1st shot was just a sore arm, 2nd shot was extreme tiredness.

---

Got Pfizer. Sore arm and feeling a little tired, but that's it. I remember getting a "high" first thing after getting them too. That made the 15 minute wait cool.

---

I'm sleepy

Never got much arm soreness, but I got almost no sleep that night. I was running a slight fever and felt a bit achy, and just rolled over and over all night. In the morning I felt perfectly fine except tired obvs.

---

Pfizer. Nothing each time.

---

First shot- it really only hurt a little bit where I got the injection.

Second shot- hurt more where I got the injection as the day went on. The next day I definitely felt flu-like so I only made it through a half shift at work (6-10). Felt fine the day after that though.

---

night of the pfizer first injection saw one bout of pretty good chills and shakes, and nothing else. nothing i couldn't tank.

---

A bit of a sore arm the day after my first, but not to the extent that others seem to have had - tbh, I only really noticed it when people specifically asked if my arm hurt - and no issues at all with the second.

---

In bed for two days after first and nothing after second.

---

1st shot it hurt to touch where I got the injection for about 3 or 4 days, that was it.

2nd shot is next week so we'll see.

Moderna BTW
---

sore arm, mild fever for a few days

---

Pfizer and felt really gross and weak the second time. Also, unrelated to the vaccine but rather the needle. They hit a nerve so now whenever I get a current running through me during electrolysis, I feel it in that spot on my arm and it hurts and even can burn. Should heal on its own in another couple of months, but it really effing sucks.

---

Pfizer, slept for 14 hours after the first one no side effects after the second.

Pfizer. Same as a few said. Sore arm with both. Little extra tired with the 2nd. But nothing too extreme. I was still able to go about my day as normal.

---

I had my first dose last Monday. The only thing I had was mild soreness by the injection site. My second shot is scheduled for Monday, September 6.

---

J and J. No. The worst thing was the day after I moved my arm kind of weird and it was slightly tender where I got the shot but that was it.

---

Yes I felt terrible for 24 hours and like I was slightly hungover for the next two days. Most people downplay their symptoms btw

---

Unfortunately I have developed magnetism powers rivaling Magneto

I feel it's the opposite.

---

I got the Pfizer and I was tired for most of the day after and then really hungry for half of the next. Nothimg horrible.

---

my arm was sore and hard to use for 5 days

I became one with the force

---

I had flu like symptoms the day after my second Moderna shot but recovered within 36 hours.

i got fever, headaches and felt sleepy af the next day after taking the Jansen one but been feeling good ever since...

Pfizer. Later on that day my arm was sore and felt fatigued. The next day I had chills.

---

There was at least one patient I talked to who got put in the hospital for several days, others it's mostly the symptoms everyone is describing.

No, just mildly sore. And when I say mildly I mean mildly.

---

Pfizer

1st shot: Area I got the shot was sore for a few days.

2nd shot: Felt achy for a few days.

Both very minor compared to what would have likely happened if I didn't get vaccinated.

Well, I certainly didnt lose the ability to keep a GFAQs account alive for more than a few weeks, thats for sure. And, no, I didnt close that thread.

Functional or vestigial?

First dose, sore arm started after around 4-5 hours, lasted around 3 days.

Second dose, sore arm after 12 hours. Second day, felt like flu but without the chills, fever or headache. So it was only tiredness and weakness. Felt fine on the third day. Arm soreness went away on the 4th day.

Who did then the mods?
Nah it was you.
Least I can keep a tidy home, a job and a girlfriend.
But by all means brag about retaining your gamesfaqs account.
Because that's one of the important things in life right?
Goddamn

I mean, youre (obviously) familiar with the moderation system and understand that they have the power to close topics, so if you find it hard to believe I have no idea why.

There was no problem with the vaccine, just a tiny little pain which was like nothing. I can't say there was anything wrong apart from that.

Vestigial... Like the other one.

Did you have any side effects from your covid vaccination?

Yeah. I didnt die from COVID.

---

Moderna. 1st shot, just a sore arm for a couple days. 2nd shot, sore arm for a couple days + feeling lousy the day after the shot; basically like having a bad cold without the cough or congestion for 24 hours. 48 hours after the 2nd shot I was back to feeling fine. Most of the people I know had very similar symptoms.

Bummer, but... twinsies!!

Moderna

2nd shot gave me chills and a fever for about 8 hours then I felt like a million bucks

---

Sore at the injection site for the first, nothing for the second. Had the Pfizer shots

I got Moderna and I got nothing. No side effects whatsoever beyond the tiny bit of soreness directly at the injection site that comes with any shot.

---

Pfizer. I just had the sore arm for a day or so whenever I made an big mocemenets with it.

---

j&J

shot injection site pain for a few days. along with fatigue for half a day. arm got sore if i moved it in a certain range of motion (to grab anything) for a week.

Yeah. I didnt die from COVID.

I'm unvaccinated and nor did I.

I was administered the first dose recently.

I experienced a gamut of unwelcome side effects, including but not limited to:

Chills
Hot flushes
Insomnia due to said chills and hot flushes
Fever
Muscle aches
Nausea
Loose and watery stools
Fatigue

However, my attitude towards that motley assortment of temporary ailments was and remains that unpleasant as the experience was, it was infinitely preferable to contracting the virus, being hospitalised and/or popping my clogs. I would happily have another dose (and I shall, next month).
