VERY rare for anyone............
No. I got one brand of 2-dose vaccine and I experienced no side effects beyond the muscle soreness where it was injected. My mom got the other brand of 2-dose vaccine and also had no side effects beyond the muscle soreness where it was injected. But a few of my coworkers did feel like crap with the second dose and missed a day of work, while others had no side effects.
My arm was sore but just a little. Pls get vaccinated and pls don't delay. 560K Americans who died from COVID would have loved to have received the vaccine. But it's too late for them. It's OK to be nervous, but getting vaccinated is the smart thing to do. I am a Republican, wear a mask (long before any govt mandates) and I got vaccinated ASAP.
No to both. I had the Phyzer.
Not really. Didn't feel anything. It's rare I guess.
I had both shots of the the Moderna vaccine earlier this year.
Hurt... I felt the pinch from the syringe, and pain around the injection area which lasted for several days.
Sick... After the second vaccine I had flu-like symptoms for several days. (Fever, aches, fatigue.)
That's it.
Yes, but not always and not all people.
Aside from the feeling that I got punched in the arm that lasted for about a day, I didn't have any other effects from the vaccine.
The shot itself did not hurt any more than a sting. My arm swelled up pretty good after the 1st Moderna shot. After the 2nd shot my arm was swollen, I experienced nausea, a headache, and a 100 degree fever. The nausea, headache and fever were gone 24 hours after the shot. The arm swelling subsided 3-4 days afterward. It’s a sign that my immune system is working.
There has been a lot of misinformation and paranoia surrounding the mRNA vaccines. One of the conspiracy theories is that it alters your DNA. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Actually, unlike other vaccines the mRNA vaccines never breach the nucleus of your cell. They are delivered to the cytoplasm. So that conspiracy theory just is not true.
Could the government put something in the vaccines to sterilize the population or something else bizarre? Perhaps some malevolent actor could do that. Maybe. It would be hard to keep it a secret though with so many scientists working on the vaccine. But they could also do that with any shot you ever get including your yearly flu shots if you think about it. Why just choose this one? The truth I think is the government wants to get people vaccinated so the older folks with money feel safe enough to emerge from their homes and spend again. That will propel the economy better than any stimulus ever could. And major pharma companies like Pfizer that have been hit pretty hard in the press over drug pricing want to come out of this looking good. They have every profit incentive in the world to make a good shot so that public opinion falls on their side in the pharma fight.
I've only had the first dose (Moderna).
The injection wasn't painful at all.
A few hours later I felt a hard lump at the site that lasted about 2 days. The morning after the injection I slept in later than usual, was awake for about an hour, and fell back to sleep until around 1 pm - it seems like that is a fairly common side effect (more than half of the people I've spoken to said similar, and the others said they were not drowsy at all).
I'm scheduled for the 2nd dose in about a month. Most people say they experienced more side effects after the 2nd dose.
all needles hurt , and yes it can make you sick , how sick depends if you have a reaction .
The actual shot did not hurt. It was a very tiny prick, equivalent to something like a mosquito bite. I personally did not experience severe symptoms. I had some injection site soreness which lasted into the next day and for a couple of hours after the injection I felt a little bit weird. But that was it. On the other hand, side effects can vary quite a bit. All of the adults that I know have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine already. Some of them have experienced no side effects like my father. But others experienced more significant ones. My mother, who is in her 70s, experience fatigue the next day. My aunt, who is a few years older, had even more fatigue. The day after she got her second shot she was basically only able to wake up to feed herself. My sister-in-law, who is in her 40s, experienced probably the most significant side effects including fatigue and chills. Still, this is better than running the risk of catching the Coronavirus.
No. And after reading majority of the reactions people had over the past month or so, provided the side effects are mild, like you feeling nothing other then disorientation and aches for like a day or two, you should be fine.
Besides, 1 or 2 people dying is not a cause for alarm as even the usual vaccines that we had taken for years had at least a few casualties as well, we just don’t find out about them due to privacy reasons.
No, not at all. I didn’t even feel the needle go in and my arm never ached.
I’ve had one dose of the Pfizer vaccine so far. The shot itself wasn’t bad. I felt fine until about 7 hours later. My arm got sore, I had a headache (it went away with ibuprofen), I felt exhausted, and I got very confused and disoriented. I felt like I was having trouble focusing my eyes. I woke up the next morning feeling totally fine.
The needle hurt like a bee sting. Nothing bad.
Side effects were a stiff and sore arm. Mild body aches and some stomach pains. But that's all. I feel great aside from that.
No problems or pain from either dose of the Moderna vaccine here. My wife had a small lump for three days where the needle went in her arm. She received the Pfizer. Our two daughters received the Pfizer and had no problems. In fact, among our family and friends nationwide only one person was sick for a few days with what was most likely just a normal cold. She's fine now.
I had a lot of the typical after-effects and felt crappy for a few days, but it was worth going through to know I've got some protection now.
When injected, it feels a little like a boil. The next day there is a little pain in the vaccination area. The pain must have gone away other day.
