Those of you who have gotten both your Moderna shots, question?...

amyb — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 23:15:32 GMT

I go for my 2nd on 4/5, BF goes tomorrow for his second.

First one went well...no sickness, only fatigue the day after and sore arm for a week. BF and others I know didn't have a sore arm.

Of my friends who have gotten 2nd Moderna, some have gotten fever, headaches sick after about 12 hrs, for about 12 hours.

Just wondering if anyone who got both Modernas, did you experience sickness on 2nd (or first) shots or not?

I got my second Moderna shot two weeks ago yesterday. Had no reaction at all except after a week I got a big goose egg on my arm. It wasn't ever sore at all but it itched like crazy for 4-5 days. It's all gone now. My sister had the same reaction.

A total guessing game, for as many who say they felt very sick, there wil be just as many who said they felt fine, we are all different.

I got Covid Arm with second shot. Arm was sore, with a large red rash, felt hot and hard at site, and itched. Symptoms lessened each day and were gone in 5 days. Also, had chills at night and needed a nap the next day after vaccine.

All good now.

It varies for each person, but with my 2nd Moderna, I had a fever of 101, a nasty headache and I was really cold, but no actual chills. It started around 15 or 16 hours after my shot, lasted an entire day and I was ok the next day.

My nephew had his 2nd Moderna last Saturday. On Sunday, he said that "every cell in his body ached" and he had a slight headache. He was fine on Monday.

I got my 2nd Moderna shot about a month ago. After the 1st shot, I was fine. After the 2nd - not so fine. That night I had chills, fever, vomiting, could not eat for 2 days. Felt like I had the flu. Better and back to normal on the 3rd day.

My husband and I have had both Moderna. He had a sore arm on the first shot for a day or so, and the second shot made his arm sore and he felt fatigued. I am another story. I am extremely sensitive and have horrible allergies. After the first shot, I had a sore arm and some fatigue. About 5 days later I started to develop a rash on that arm. It took a week or so for that to clear. After the second shot, I felt fatigue about 6 hours after. About 12 hours after the shot I got a headache, shaking chills, and ran a temp of 100.9. After 24 hours the symptoms were completely gone. That being said I would take another tomorrow without hesitation. If we find the need for boosters I'll be the first in line.

I had my first Moderna vaccine a week ago. I had terrible aches all of the first night. Every area of my body ached. My arm was very sore and I felt very tired all week until today. I am not looking forward to the second shot because I hear the side effects are worse.

@amyb I felt like a truck hit me after the second shot. Also, my eyes got red and irritated. DH said he felt like he played a football game with no pads. Neither of us had reaction from first shot except sore arms.

My arm was a little sore after the first shot. After the second, in eight hours I started developing chills, low-grade fever and headache lasting throughout the night. I was perfectly normal by the next afternoon.

My husband and I had both shots. We both had sore arms after the first shot and some fatigue the day after. The second shot however was different. My husband felt like he had a virus. He was exhausted and achy for a day. I couldn't sleep because the pain in my arm was horrible. I had a very large rectangular hard bump on my arm. The severe pain lasted only one day , then the itch started. All in all not too bad!

Just got my 2nd shot today!! So far so good. With my 1st, I only had a sore thigh (that's where I get my injections) for a day or two. My hubby had 2nd a few weeks ago and had no reaction except sore arm. It is different for everyone and makes no difference as far as which vaccine. I know of people who had Pfizer, Moderna and J & J and all are about the same as far as reactions. Good luck and thanks for getting the vaccine!!! You are helping the cause!!

I have to think about who got which one. For some people I can't remember which shot they got.

I know for sure DH and a few of our friends have gotten both Moderna shots. All had arm pain both times and no other side effects of note. I think one other person may have gotten Moderna and had no arm pain at all.

More people I know have gotten Pfizers. Anecdotally I've heard about slightly stronger side effects, all of which went away successfully and were not a huge deal, with Pfizer.

As long as they go away quickly and aren't severe I don't mind side effects. Proves it's working. I want at least a little arm soreness but if I don't get it, I won't worry, I hope.

@amyb I had my 2nd dose of Moderna 3 weeks ago. The only effect was a very slightly sore arm at the injection site for 2 days. Nothing else. No fever, chills or headaches.

Maybe since 4 years ago I had lots of chemo and radiation I got let off the hook for after effects for this!

I had an annoyingly sore arm from the first Moderna vaccination that lasted three or four days. It was annoying because it only bothered me with particular arm movement.

After the second injection my arm was not as sore but I did have some swelling and a mild "covid arm" rash, neither of which was bothersome. This lasted three or four days.

The day after the second injection I experienced a very brief period of "chills" that caused shaking. Jacking up the heat and a bowl of very hot soup quickly took care of the problem.

I did feel tired the day after the second injection but not to the point of fatigue.

Got my second Moderna vaccine yesterday. Arm is much MORE sore then the first time. And this afternoon, about 24 hours after the injection, I started feeling achy, tired, with some minor chills. I feel like I have a fever but just checked and it's 98.6, but my normal day in day out temp. is usually 97.7...it's almost written in stone. Ha! Haven't had a headache or loss of appetite or anything like that. BTW, on the first shot I had no problems at all other then a minor sore arm.

My arm hurt more than the first shot and I was tired that afternoon, few chills. But I shopped, walked the dog and drove in traffic 40 miles for the vaccine.

I happened to have my annual physical the day after my second Moderna and the clinic said in general more side effects with Moderna than Pfizer. Arm was tender like a flu shot but I felt like I was getting the flu also. Body ache, tired and chills. Just felt blah. Took Tylenol a couple of days. Thankful to have received both and finished so just a minor discomfort.

Exactly my reaction to the second Moderna, even with it hitting 24 hours later. My achiness and chills were very minor. Everything gone by the next morning.
