    So, got jabbed, #TeamPfiezer, and arm was a little sore, headache and generally tired.

    My back also hurt a little. Back kept hurting while I waited three weeks for the second jab.

    Second shot, back still hurts and seems to be getting worse, arm a little sore and a little tired. After a day or two, everything passes but the back pain.

    Last day of the two week was a Friday. Back still hurts and thinking seriously about going to a chiro the following week to have it checked out. Wake up on Saturday, back isn't hurting and I feel fine.

    The back pain was a very specific, sharp, jabbing pain on the right side. Right of the spine, and maybe in the vicinity of the kidney on that side. I understand that the back pain may not have been connected to getting the shots and that it was all just a coincidence that it flared up and then went away all around the same time.

    So, I was wondering if anyone had any side effects or noticed any issues after getting vaccinated.

    I was lethargic for a day or so after the second shot but that’s it

    My 2nd Moderna is at noon. Will let you know around 8 o'clock if it takes effect.

    Same as before. Almost no issues from the vaccine. Got both my jabs. Slightly sore arm both times, like going back out to the ball field after a winter off from throwing. Feeling barely lasted a day.

    No issues at all except that the injection site was sore for a day.

    Got my first one as part of #TeamPfizer on Sunday, I used to get really sick after getting a flu shot when I worked in junior hockey (and haven't got one since I left) so I was expecting the worst but other than a sore arm I had no issues. We'll see how it goes after shot 2 in August (hopefully sooner).

    I proved my hatred of Amurrica by getting the Moderna 2x. No issues with either shot.

    2x Pfizer. No issues. My wife got a little cold-ish for a day after each.

    Day after the 2nd Pfizer shot my joints ached quite a bit, more than the usual background aching that comes with being 53, and I was a bit lethargic; other than that, I never noticed a thing.

    Pfizer second dose on April 2. I too had back pain but it was short-lived. Mostly just fatigued. No headaches or fever.
