Hah, happy to help however I was able. Still feeling like a bit of an armchair QB in the tail end of my PhD, but just got my clinic schedule for MS3 all squared away so I will be a real boy sooner than later I suppose.Originally Posted by RoyGBiv

Get some Tylenol ready before the second dose.
First dose not too bad, but definitely more local soreness than a regular flu shot.
Second dose much stronger of a local reaction for me. Several people in our office not only had that but developed significant systemic side effects like fevers, sweats, chills, upset stomach, and rigors.
So far about 6 hours out I feel about the same/ maybe a touch less soreness than annual flu vax. Maybe a touch of subjective fever too.
Next dose is in 3 weeks on the nose - can't come soon enough...
My mom got her first one on the 8th.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Really glad to hear that.

I found out we are both eligible on the 26th, we’ll see if I can actually get jabbed this trip.

I have a cousin that’s a nurse at Vanderbilt that got pretty sick after her second shot (throwing up, fever, body aches), but it only lasted a day. My wife had a low-grade fever for a few hours after her second shot, but nothing terrible. I should be getting my second dose on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
Oh man. I spoke too soon about the vax side effects. Had killer myalgia/arthralgia that kept me up last night. Injection sight is incredibly sore too. Feels like Mike Tyson gave me a dead arm.
on the plus side, I guess that means its working?

Just got my second dose yesterday. Other than a mildly sore arm I have no issues. I'm 67 in a couple of days so I was glad to have this available.
Several of my friends and coworkers that received dose number 2 last week reported mild flu-like sx lasting less than 24 hrs. We received the Pfizer as well.
I took Tylenol and Pepcid before the injection, JIC.
Thoughts and Prayers for all that have been struggling with this. I lost my mother to COVID last September and my sister, also an RN, was hospitalized in ICU/SD, but went home on o2 after a week.
She's back working now.
A lot of people are touched by this. Thanks for the great info and contributions in this thread.
