Thank you all for your response. It's been 48 hours and I have some aches and pains but nothing serious. Second night was a bit worse than the first but so be it. Only thing really weird is that I am no longer feel hungry after the shot. I can smell and taste as usual but no hungers. Has anyone experience that? Anyway, I will see you all ( not personally ) soon.

Moderna first shot,I had sore arm. Second shot different story , day after headache, sore throat, muscle aches, itchy red patch on arm at injection site. No fever....took Tylenol and recovered by the next day. Husband had Pfizer and had no issues (other than sore arm) with either shot.
Good luck and hope you are one who has no problem with shot#2.😀

Possible
 
It is possible that some who have a sore arm and red around the site may have made
their arm tight as they received the shot. It is not unusual for this to happen after any shot.
The reason is the fluid from the shot does not move away from the site. If this happens
I have been told to put heat at the site to get the fluid to move? Just an idea??:popcorn:

I also had Moderna and no side effects except...6 days later The same circle you describe showed up on my arm.Eight days later still there and seems to be getting a little larger and not quite a circle anymore. I’ll see my doctor on Tuesday for my annual check up and show it to him.

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.
This pretty much sums up what people in our neighborhood have experienced. Lot's of chills, most reported that night later, not right after shot. A tired, "draggy" feeling for a day to four days. Two relatives have reported very dizzy and unsteady of feet the following day, not the day of the shot ! All had both types of vaccine and seems no difference in the after effects of them. None of those we know personally had any effects on the FIRST shot, all were after the second.

Like so many things, I don't think it's likely that the Villages TV, News paper, radio, etc. is going to be reporting on any vaccine related difficulties or for that matter, any that required ER trip. Not a conspiracy nut case, but, just think there will be considerable filters on any news concerning anything negative about the all the vaccines !

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.
Maybe that improved immune system is due to huge doses of caffeine from the coffee bean.

I *think* it depends on whether you got Moderna or Pfizer vaccine. My dad (94) got Pfizer with no side effects. My husband got Moderna with effects described by Alwann. I also got Moderna, with no side effects.
I got the Pfizer shot on 1/29 and the second on 2/18. I had no side effects on either except for pain in the insertion area and then only when I pressed on it. I am 75,

I don't think so. I've been mostly caffeine free for 40 years.

I had exactly the same effect. First night OK. Second night about 3 AM had severe chills and shaking but I was not cold. Under the covers it stopped in 30 minutes. 2 hours later I woke up in a sweat with a low grade temperature. Daytime was OK. The next night, mild shakes but no fever. My arm is a little sore but that would happen even if they injected nothing in you. That's just the muscle reacting.

Sorry, I guess I was going by the forum name and the little icon holding a coffee cup. So, what could explain that improved immune response? Quite a mystery.........maybe just clean living, like myself!

I had both doses of Moderna, nothing with first one, second one shoulder area at infection site was sore for a day.
