I was only asked to stay for 10 minutes. I have no idea if I was monitored. I walked around the store, bought a few little things and, by then, the 10 minutes were done so I left.

I had the Moderna, and didn't stay for the 15 minutes either. I already had my second injection, and suffered no side effects. I guess it just depends on the individual.
That's what I'm hoping for. My arm was really sore for a day and a half. But I never had a fever or anything like that.

They ask the vaccine recipients to stay in order that they be monitored for anaphactic shock. Very rare, but vaccine sites should be equipped with life saving epi pens if necessary.
Yes, there was a waiting area, and I followed the instructions and stayed for the 15 minutes. (A person driving a vehicle who goes into shock could potentially injure someone other than himself /herself.)

I read that that most of the younger people get more side effects because they have a stronger immune system.

You side effects show that your immune system is doing its job.

With all the talk about bad things that can happen months later or even years later from these vaccines, I don't trust them. I'm not the only one. I'm not laying down my life for anything I'm not sure of.
The new diseases that are now coming on board will make this one probably look like a party. I saw that one of those vaccines can cause heart trouble oh man, just all kinds of horrors. I stay to myself anyway. I've been a recluse by choice way before this thing walked in.
After all, you REALLY don't know what you're putting in your body. "Only" what they tell you.......

Of course you may experience none of this, but I wouldn't plan anything the couple of days after your second shot just in case. I'm relieved to have it done with and be fully vaccinated.
Just based on personal experience, younger people seem to have a harsher reaction. My mom, who is over 80, had barely any reaction, and her friends didn't either, but most of the people I know under 50 got sick for a day or two. I don't know if there's a reason for that or if it's just coincidence.
and they're saying that this is probably only good for six months and you have to do it again. This disease is cousin to the common cold. When I was a teenager I got tons of colds, flu, pneumonia. I trust GOD alone. He can protect me, not man can and if He does not, I still don't trust whatever it is they've got.

A younger person's immune system does not have all the "memory" that an older person's has. An oler person has come in contact with tons more pathogens and the immune system logs them all. Just paraphrasing but long story short, this is more where I lean towards.

I was told my Moderna was only good for six months, also, @77yangya . I believe Covid will always be with us in the future, just like our Influenza vaccine. Many still die annually with the influenza. I've always taken the flu vaccine and can't remember ever having it. So, I will continue with the Covid vaccine.

It's unbelievable what's happennhg in India. They have vaccinated less than 1%. They have no oxygen, and I heard the number of 3000 dying daily. The U.S. is going to help them. Indian doctors talking about watching them dying w/o oxygen. Desperate for help needed.
