What I heard and have read about is the side effects besides the sore arm at the injections site is because of a robust immune response. Those robust responses usually occur in younger folks because they have stronger immune systems.
I'm not a younger folk but my immune system kicked ass. Fourteen hours after my second Moderna shot, I wound up with a 102.6 fever with the usual effects of a high fever. By that night, my temp broke and by the following morning I was back to normal and good to go.
Now I understand why I never get sick, not a flu or even a common cold for many years. I'm happy to know I've got the immune system of a much younger person.
