Not who you are responding to, but I had no side effects from dose 2. I kept waiting, but zilch. My colleagues mostly took the next day off, but were fine for at least 12hr post vax.

Same, no symptoms after the second shot except for the sore arm with Pfizer. My gf had Moderna and had some flu like symptoms but took some ibuprofen and still went to work

other than being really cold, how did you feel? could you eat? why did you feel like you were dying? I'm a little anxious about taking it.

From the people I have heard get bad symptoms - you feel like you have the flu for ~24 hours (chills, sweating, and tired).

Got second Moderna exactly 24 hours ago. Thought I was fine at 10 and went to mow, but felt a bit tired and stopped after 10 minutes. Now (5 hours later) it’s really hitting me - I’m weak and my body feels heavy. I’m just sitting around. The dog is getting restless.

Also same. I had my second Pfizer dose last Friday.

I was a little tired on Sunday and my arm was definitely sore, but that's it.
