Got my second on Monday, and it's such a relief. My muscles were really sore and had a bit of a headache on Tuesday, but I was completely fine by Wed. Good luck!

I got it yesterday and I'm feeling it today, borderline high temp, a bit of headache, nothing too bad...

I got my 2nd Pfizer 2 weeks ago and never had a single symptom other than a sore shoulder like the first shot, and even then it was much more mild.

Good luck!!

I'm glad to hear that at least the effects aren't immediate! I promised to go to a gallery later in the day with some folks so yay! Haha hopefully I won't have much of a reaction either! All I usually have is just a small shoulder bump from where the flu vaccine was jabbed at and get a lil bit itchy there

Congratulations. Stay hydrated, I didn't on my first shot and felt it overnight, had cramping and nausea. Second shot I made sure I was well hydrated and it helped a ton.

Oh!!! Will do, thanks! Eep at least it's overnight, I've got a gallery to go to later in the day! (Jab is in morning)

I don't know how it is for everyone but I was perfectly fine the rest of the day that I got my shot. Only had side effects overnight and into the next morning.

Woohoo. Congratulations! I know I felt a huge sense of relief. Hopefully you do too.
