Just got my second shot yesterday. I assumed listening to what has been said here and comments by the doctor who treats me, the second shot would produce worse side effects.

I am experiencing the same as the first shot. Slight sore arm and slight headache, both relieved by Advil. I expect this to go away by tomorrow.

I did some looking around and found this quote.

"In other words, it's possible to receive a (perfectly administered) vaccine and suffer no symptoms whatsoever. Just "consider yourself lucky," says Harvard Medical School physician Abraar Karan."

There seems to be a wide range of side effects without any obvious reason. Whatever the temporary discomfort is, it has to be better than getting really sick from Covid-19.

My wife did experience a greater amount of pain and redness with swelling "near" the injection site on the first shot. That was relieved with Advil and went away in three days. She gets the second shot next week.

I did serious research into mRNA vaccines before taking the vaccine. I am convinced they are both safe and effective. I encourage everyone to be vaccinated as soon as they can barring anyone who has medical reasons not too.

Cheers,

Billy
