No reaction/side effects from either shot (Pfizer) at all. Safe travels.

Cheers!

Some folks have no sickness whatsoever after the second shot. From what I have heard, those that do get it about 12 hours after the shot and it can last for maybe a day. They have flu like symptoms of achiness and chills and potentially a little bit of a fever. I don’t know what the percentages are of those that have the symptoms or those that have none? At any rate, it’s worth any inconvenience or discomfort once we have completed both shots.

It varies with each person but it seems if you feel ill, within 24-36 hrs you are back to normal. I also think many are expecting to get sick and bring on the aches, pains and fatigue themselves. All in all, the illness effect of the shot is no big deal.

I had covid around Christmas. They told me the first shot of moderna is like the second because I had the virus in the past.
18 hours after the injection I thought I had covid.For the next 24 hours I had all symptoms I had at Christmas plus a migraine headache. It was deja vu all over again.
It’s can be very different for you.

Second Moderna shot and 24 hours later my feet and hands were so cold it felt like frost bite. That lasted for four hours and no I’ll effects after that.

I personally would go ahead and do the drive. The worse that can happen is having to stop and recover from whatever side effects are happening.

So far I haven’t heard of anybody getting sick. My Son in Law works at the Federal Prison & he said like the 1st shot a sore arm, that’s it. Haven’t heard anything in paper, TV or radio about anybody getting sick. But what do you consider sick, throwing up?

Next day, I felt a bit unsteady on my feet and very tired. Day three, shoulder is still a little sore, but no other side effects. Good luck.

Sounds like the same the same thing when I got the shringrx vaccine for shingles.

Actually, it is a big deal for a lot of people and lasts much longer than 24 hours with the second shot of Moderna. Many people we know personally felt worse than they expected with the second shot.

We both had bouts of nausea, tiredness and lots of fleeting pains all over our bodies. And after a stint of no symptoms for a couple of days the fatigue and "wobbly" feeling on standing returned. This lasted for about two weeks and that is not uncommon.

We also think it was well worth every bit of feeling lousy.

Fever and body aches, also fatigue. Gone in 24 hours

[2CopsMom]

Basically the whole thing lasted about 24 hours. Chills, body aches, fatigue.
The fatigue is pretty profound. Giving yourself a good 48 hours after the injection would be wise. Good luck!

Took me 31 hrs b4 the side effects started...extreme fatigue, slight headache and congestion. Slept 13 hrs. Everything OK in the morning. Spouse had nothing🤷*♀️

I have recently heard of two people who had transient balance issues about 10 days after either vaccine dose. All of a sudden had some issues walking although no vertigo or dizziness. This was very short lived, thankfully.

I had my 2nd Moderna shot on Wednesday. The next day had 99.9 temperature. Took 2 Tylenol & a nap. Then afterwards, good to go! Arm very slightly red & sore but far less so than shingles shot.

Have a safe drive!

From what we’ve heard from our doctor and dentist, the side effects from the Pfizer shots were minimal and infrequent. They also report that as among those getting Moderna, reactions after the second shot are not uncommon. Some get “sick as a dog”, but it only lasts less than a day.

My wife and I got the Pfizer shots with virtually no side effects—maybe a slightly stiff arm at the injection site after shot #2, but nothing worse.
