I'm supposed to get my shot in eleven hours from now. Sure hope I don't get the bad effects some have mentioned. I've been able to avoid the virus but figured I need to take the vaccination.

I'm going to ask you to not worry about it, because, we know the best thing we can do is get both shots.

First shot, nothing...not even a sore arm.

Morning after the second shot I was a little achy, moved slow, headache. I just used it as a day to catch up on my sleep! I knew my body was being strong and gave it time to catch up.

Next morning, I was back to 95% and even felt more energetic.

You may not get any of these symptoms! From one worry wart to another...please don't worry

@amyb ..................Hubby and I had our 2nd Moderna shots Feb. 22. No problems of any kind. I take what people call reactions to the vaccine's with a grain of salt.

I received my 2nd Moderna toward the end of February. The only side effects I had was having thge chills for a couple of hours the next day. Not a big deal.

I do have a question for those who have mentioned itching in the arm, with the second injection, what did you use to deal with the itchiness or did you just deal with it?

@icezeus, I used a topical anti-itch cream (generic Benadryl).

For my first shot, I had a pretty sore arm for about 4 days. Received my second one last week and had the same thing but only lasted 2 days. Everybody will react a little differently.

Just got my first moderna a week ago----developed a headache that I took meds for , and I also put cbd cream on my arm. Day 2 was ok, just out of sorts. Day 3 arm hurt like a flu shot but nothing else. Days 4,5,6 am fine. Over all--felt like a normal flu shot for me.

@icezeus - I got "Moderna arm" though I had Pfizer vaccine. The arm occurred more in Moderna studies so it was named that but is really vaccine arm. You can use cool compresses and OTC cortisone preparation. I gave many flu vaccines when I worked and it is a common reaction. It's annoying but not harmful but can look awful. Mine came on day 2 after the vaccine but can come as late as 8 days after vaccination. Mine will be a week old tomorrow and though very light it's still there with one tiny spot the size of a dime which itches like crazy periodically. A small price to pay.

1st injection - mild headache and tiredness

2nd injection - "Covid arm" with swelling, itching, redness, and warm to the touch that lasted a week, and a few episodes of chills, only lasted several seconds. I used cold compression, hydrocortizone, and Benadryl for the itching.
