    First Moderna shot, just a sore arm for a day or two. Second Moderna is a couple weeks away.

    Wife had her two Pfizers. First one, she had the sore arm and needed an hour nap the day after. Second one, she had a sore arm for a few days, was tired and had a fever the day after, then was tired and needed a nap the second day.

    My wife just got the first Moderna shot yesterday. She sleeps on her side so a sore arm today.

    I got Pfizer. After the first shot I was tired the next day and had a sore arm.

    I got my second Pfizer last week. Just a little sore around the arm that day, then a little foggy the next day, however given that I had an afternoon tee time, that over-rode any further lingering effects :) (Unfortunately, some poison oak that I apparently got the week before decided to announce with a bang and I'm in skin itch hell right now).

    Sore arm for a few hours after the first. No sore arm but felt a bit achy for a few hours the morning after the second. All in all, no big deal.

    No side effects after Moderna 1.

    After Moderna 2 last night, mostly body aches and lethargy today, plus sore at the injection site, minor chills and a slight headache. No complaints here, well worth the trade. Glad to see those reactions, in fact.

    As a general precaution, though, I will apply alcohol medicine tonight.

    I took my second Moderna on 2/28. First shot, a bit of a sore arm and a touch of fatigue. No biggie. Second, arm was a little sorer and on day two and three post shot I was tired and took a two to three hour nap. Since then all I have felt is relief that we got vaccinated.

    I got my second shot yesterday, feel fine. My wife gets her second Thursday, hoping she handles it well.

    Nothing after Moderna 1 outside of mild arm pain. I popped two Aleve after the first shot. Taking Moderna II: Vaccination Boogaloo on Friday. Planning to pop a couple Aleve and maybe chug a Gatorade or something after the shot. See what happens

    Zip on Pfizer 1 except I wouldn't have been able to throw the high, hard one that night. Sore arm.
    Pfizer 2 was 10 a.m. Sore arm, felt fine until 11 p.m., then hit by a ton of bricks, with body aches, fatigue that last until mid-afternoon the next day.

    Pfizer shot one I has a sore arm for a day or two. Very minor.

    I get shot two at midnight tonight. We'll see...

    Shoulder and elbow joints ached for a while after the first Moderna shot (along with soreness at the injection site for a day or two), and I thought the first shot was supposed to be the one without symptoms.

    Already took the day after the second shot off.
