I got my second Moderna Covid-19 vaccine shot yesterday at 3:45. I was wondering if I might wake up today not feeling so good or with a headache or fever. So far I feel fine. I don't know if some of these adverse reactions come later but so far nothing.

I've heard that the reaction is because the vaccine is actually working. Now I'm wondering that since I'm having any reaction, is the vaccine not working?

By the way, I found out yesterday that it takes two weeks for the vaccine to become effective. So once you get your second shot, it's two weeks before your safe.

I had a bit of a reaction after the first shot of Moderna. I had the shot on a Thursday and I played 18 holes of golf on Friday. The entire round I was winded, out of breath. When I got home and looked up side-effects, it wasn't until I was on the FDA website and clicked on additional information I found "Difficulty Breathing" listed as a side-effect. My second day, a Saturday I felt very tired and fatigued and went back to bed. On Sunday I felt fine.

After my second Moderna shot, it was 16 hours when I became feverish with nearly 103 accompanied by the usual body aches and malaise that I have any time I run a fever. By that night, my temp broke and by the next morning I was feeling perfectly fine and good to go.

My wife had the same experience. Zero issues on first shot, but like you, had some after
second shot (this was Pfizer). When it cleared she was back to normal.

Good luck Doc

We had second shot going on one month next Saturday no problems.
I was worried after second shot b/c when my wife and I sat where we were told to wait 15 minutes before leaving a guy who looked like he lived off the grid w/ no mask ask the pharmacist aide for a certain product band aids I think.She pointed him to look right behind me and he started rumaging around looking. She then came over(masked) and helped him look. I sat there not payed attention except to ask if I’m in the way still not paying attention to Grizzly Adams. Well a month later I’m fine still being reminded of it by wifey but that will wear off soon.

3 of my friends, myself and my 90 yr old mom had absolutely no reaction to the second shot. I had 1 friend who had a small reaction the next morning. Nothing major. Just tired and slightly achy. I think alot of people are expecting a reaction and kinda imagine theyre sicker than they are. And yes, the shot works even with no reaction.

I have to laugh.

Years ago - ( I am in my 70s) - I remember all my old relatives - grandparents, great aunts and uncles, their old friends ..... would always sit around (this was well before any type of social media) and lament about who had the worse health issues and symptoms. They each thought they knew the causes, diagnoses and treatments for almost every disease and ailment out there...... as a child - I never understood why they did that and why they chose to do that rather than go out and do fun things.

They are long gone - but, I see things never really change......

I read that they initially said that 2-3 weeks after you get your first shot you were approximately 65% protected. Now they’ve raised that to approximately 85%. 2-3 weeks after the second shot it goes up to 95%.
The day after my first shot I nodded off a few times while watching TV so I guess that fatigue thing hit me.

My wife had her second shot last Monday. Yesterday she had a low grade fever around 99
and today she seems fine. I guess you just wait and see, don't predict and all will be fine.
As a side note I would like to say how great the process is at the Civic Center in Wildwood.
They are totally organized, understanding and if you have to have this kind of thing they represent the gold level of care.:bigbow:

I also had my 2nd shot on Monday at noon. Was good for a couple of hours and then it hit. Felt like a truck ran over me. Temperature that night reached 101! (normal for me is 96.6 or so). Sweats over night. Next morning still felt achy and low grade temperature all day. Last night, chills. This morning feeling MUCH better. Still a slight temperature but coming down. Everyone is different but from what I am reading, it means the immune system is kicking in. A good thing !!! Just another perspective.

An article for you rabid shot (not a vaccine) supporters ... and for those still on the fence that have been told that this is safe, effective and approved by the FDA. Let's understand "approved".

Employers can't require Covid-19 vaccination under an EUA - STAT (https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/23/federal-law-prohibits-employers-and-others-from-requiring-vaccination-with-a-covid-19-vaccine-distributed-under-an-eua/)

From the article:
Given the uncertainty about the two vaccines, their EUAs are explicit that each is “an investigational vaccine not licensed for any indication” and require that all “promotional material relating to the Covid-19 Vaccine clearly and conspicuously … state that this product has not been approved or licensed by the FDA, but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA” (emphasis added).

After the first Moderna vaccination shot, the shot injection area was swollen and there was some pain starting one day after the vaccination shot, and lasted for three days. This was much more swelling and pain compared to any shot I’ve had in my lifetime.

After the second vaccination shot, I massaged the same left arm where I had the vaccination, and I had much less swelling and pain starting one day after the second vaccination shot. The swelling and reduced pain lasted for only only day. There were. no other bad side effects for me. However, I heard a story about a doctor in the Miami area that was dead 16 days after the COVID-19 vaccination shot, from swelling in his brain. There’s risk of bad reactions, but the risk seems to be very low.

I’d like to hear some real life stories if the vaccinated people are still getting COVID-19, or if the vaccinations actually are effective.

At this point in time almost 50% of the seniors 65 and over have had at least one vaccination shot in Florida. About 12.5% of Florida’s population has had at least one vaccination shot. At the rate the vaccinations are going, it looks like all the seniors will be vaccinated in about 8 more weeks. It will take till 2022 to complete the vaccinations for everyone in Florida, unless the vaccination rate is significantly increased. The next group are teachers and law enforcement 50 and older. Hopefully, there will be another group of near seniors, just under age 65 soon, for the vaccinations.

Good for you! It’s really only a very small percentage that gets side effects beyond soreness at the injection site.

Seems like the reactions are all over the place for different people. Me:

First Moderna shot: Sore arm for two days, no other reaction.

Second Moderna shot: Sore arm for four days, second day very tired and slept 11 1/2 hours.

All-in-all, not a bad experience.

It's been 39 hours as my only reaction has been that I felt very tired yesterday. That could have been because I decided to take it easy and do nothing yesterday so I sat in front of the television and dozed off several times.

So far I feel fine.

I'm wondering if all of this concern about side effects is because we only hear from the people that have them.

If it helps I heard from a good source that if you do not have side effects, it is still working! Younger people are more apt to have the side effects because their immune system is more robust.

My daughter got Rona and that was the exact same thing that happened to her. One night, over and done with. My son had both shots because he had to for work (in the hospital all the time). First shot nothing, second shot sick for 2 days.

It’s interesting to see the range of side effects that people report. I had no side effects that were troublesome in any way. 38 hours after the second shot I developed a red circle about 4” in diameter just below the injection point. I had mild soreness at the injection site, but nothing unusual. The redness persisted for 48 hours, and then completely faded away. At 40 hours post shot, I began to feel tired and lethargic. That lasted a day. None of the effects were troublesome, and faded after a day or so. I have no fever that I noticed.

JT&J vaccine has a 66% efficacy after one shot. The mRNA vaccines are just as good as J&J, if not better, after their first shot. I wonder what the efficacy could be if J&J offered a booster shot.

From what I'm hearing and reading about the side effects is that younger people have more side effects than the older folks. That is because younger people have stronger immune systems. If you are an older person and have a "kick ass" side effect from the vaccine, celebrate that you have the immune system of a younger person.

Very aware of that and I would imagine most everyone who has received these vaccines that they are approved for emergency use. FDA approval will come at a later date. We get that but thanks for the reminder.

BTW......is most certainly is a vaccine and every time you say it isn't, I chuckle.

Probably right. I have heard several times by doctors that the older you are the less it seems that the shot effects you, as far as side effects. That's good news for many of us...IF true.

Sadly, most of the health groups turn out to be, you think you have it bad I have is sooo much worse. What do they offer? You get to feel not only your pain but theirs as well.

I have a sort of hobby or reading old books. All what we think are new issues and problems were issues and problems in the past as well. We seem to have a need not to learn from the past and making the same old mistakes as if they are new.

Maybe all of this to do about side effects is because only the people that have adverse effects are the ones that post about it online. It's beginning to sound like the majority of people have no side effects at all.

Received my shots at Publix. No pain in first shot. Second shot, I didn't even realize that the lady had given it. Thought she made a mistake, but then toward night the arm started to feel a bit tender. During the night, it was pretty tender at the shoulder. In the morning, raising the arm was very sore, but basically felt as if someone had hit me on the upper arm real hard. Had a headache, but not sure if it was one of my regular headaches or related. Felt a bit warm, but was it my imagination?
12 DAYS!!!!! Then the mask will be off unless it is mandated by the business. And then, we'll see.
Find it hilarious that our grand leader is still wearing his mask on TV after having been inoculated a long time ago. I won't say any more or it might turn into a "political" thingy.

He is wearing his mask to protect those around him who have not been vaccinated yet. That is the understanding I have and I'm immune at this point too. I continue to wear a mask to protect others around me. I know I'm safe but I'm thinking of others who have not yet received their appointments for their vaccinations.

I'm waiting very patiently to hear from our experts that vaccinated people are not contagious and can not infect others with Covid. Until that time comes, I will continue to mask to protect others. It is not to protect myself at this point because I feel very safe out there.

Like Dolly Parton said, "I'm old enough and I'm smart enough. I'm gettin' the shot."

Mr. Boomer and I had the second Moderna shot yesterday. Doing fine. A little soreness at the injection site, but not much -- actually less sore than the first shot. I fell asleep watching television, slept for a few hours, went to bed and slept more, for a total of 12 hours. That's not my usual so maybe that was a side effect. Whatever it was, I feel just fine today and so does Mr. B.

They use a fine gauge needle -- so you barely feel it, if at all.

By the way, I sure am not one of those anti-vaxxer people, but just for the record, I have never bothered to get a flu shot. I have had the flu one time. That was in the 1980s. (I hope I am not found guilty of hubris and get slammed with the flu. Maybe sometime I will get a flu shot, but for now, so far, I have somehow dodged the flu -- for years and years.)

With this one though, I was very happy to get the vaccine as soon as I was eligible. Covid does not leave much margin for error if your immune system decides to roll over. A friend -- in his mid-60s -- healthy guy (was) -- spent nearly two weeks in the hospital, almost died, back home now, but worrying he might be one of the long-haulers.

The virus is one smart little :censored:. That spikey thing is slicker than snot on a doorknob and is always looking for a ride.

I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine. If Bill Gates is tracking me, he is going to be really bored. I have not looked in the mirror for a few hours, but I don't think I am turning into a werewolf. I guess I'd better go check.

We got our 2nd shot yesterday. 15 minutes after the shot, my forearm started going numb, then started to ache. This went off and on for the next six hours and then stopped. Went to bed, and 2 hours later woke up freezing, and that was it for sleep. A few hours later I was really hot, had a headache, and every bone in my body ached. My temp was 101, but Tylenol took it down. Not feeling great right now, but better than last night. My wife is in bed now with the chills and aches with a 100 temp. I've had colds that are worse, and this inconvenience is well worth it

Husband got 2nd Moderna vac Friday a.m. No reaction that day but during the night got chills and fever @ 101.5 and complained of an awful headache. He normally never gets headaches. Tylenol brought down the fever. Exhausted and cold and in and out of bed yesterday. Except for shoes, went to bed fully dressed with a light jacket and lots of cover. A little better this morning but still has a slight fever.

I had the Pfizer vaccine with no reactions either time, except a little soreness at the needle site.

I got my second Moderna Covid-19 vaccine shot yesterday at 3:45. I was wondering if I might wake up today not feeling so good or with a headache or fever. So far I feel fine. I don't know if some of these adverse reactions come later but so far nothing.

Weird, same time and results the same. I think some folks just get a kick out of scaring others.

I had my second shot the same time of day as you. By the next day at around 10 am, I spiked a fever of 102.6 and had the usual effects of a high fever. Nothing scary about having a fever so I certainly wouldn't think I scared anyone by relaying my reaction. Actually, I have read that having side effects to the mRNA vaccines is actually a good thing. In fact, I posted a link to an article about it and I started a thread about it. This is it the thread...........

Like Dolly Parton said, "I'm old enough and I'm smart enough. I'm gettin' the shot."

Mr. Boomer and I had the second Moderna shot yesterday. Doing fine. A little soreness at the injection site, but not much -- actually less sore than the first shot. I fell asleep watching television, slept for a few hours, went to bed and slept more, for a total of 12 hours. That's not my usual so maybe that was a side effect. Whatever it was, I feel just fine today and so does Mr. B.

They use a fine gauge needle -- so you barely feel it, if at all.

By the way, I sure am not one of those anti-vaxxer people, but just for the record, I have never bothered to get a flu shot. I have had the flu one time. That was in the 1980s. (I hope I am not found guilty of hubris and get slammed with the flu. Maybe sometime I will get a flu shot, but for now, so far, I have somehow dodged the flu -- for years and years.)

With this one though, I was very happy to get the vaccine as soon as I was eligible. Covid does not leave much margin for error if your immune system decides to roll over. A friend -- in his mid-60s -- healthy guy (was) -- spent nearly two weeks in the hospital, almost died, back home now, but worrying he might be one of the long-haulers.

The virus is one smart little :censored:. That spikey thing is slicker than snot on a doorknob and is always looking for a ride.

I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine. If Bill Gates is tracking me, he is going to be really bored. I have not looked in the mirror for a few hours, but I don't think I am turning into a werewolf. I guess I'd better go check.

ROTHLMAO!!!!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. Love your posts.

We got our 2nd Moderna shot yesterday with GMR.
Arm was sore but we slept fitfully.
Woke up today achy and really fatigued.
Tonight I got the chills and am running a temp.
Took tylenol & feeling a little better.

I don’t regret getting the vaccine. A day or two of not
feeling well is worth it.

We have 2 granddaughters turning 4 & 1 this Spring that we do not
want to miss.
