Super User gim Posted April 15, 2021 Super User Posted April 15, 2021 Second Pfizer dose today. Didn’t even feel the pinch of the syringe this time like I did with the first one either. 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 16, 2021 Super User Posted April 16, 2021 The pinch comes later. Drink fluids. 1 2 Quote

Do as recommended below, hydrate like crazy, and you should be good to go. I had 0 issues after the 2nd. Quote
CrankFate Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 After being possibly “exposed” I tested negative for Covid a week later, and got Shot # 2 on Wednesday, less than 14 days after possible exposure. The shot hurt more from the time he stuck me. But the injection site was less painful overall. Actually barely hurts now. But yesterday, because I didn’t feel like cooking, I called my wife to ask what I should take out for dinner when I stopped to get gas on my way home from work. Between the time I got out of the car to when I got back in, there was no way I could eat. I went home feeling all weird. My skin hurt in some places. By 7pm I took my temperature — 100.8, went up to 101.1 by 8 and down to 100.3 at 9. Went to bed feeling cold at 9. Woke up around 3am because it was too hot. Kicked off all of the blankets. By the time I got up at 6:30am, my temperature was 98.3. Was thirsty all morning. Drank a 32oz Gatorade and feel fine now. 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted April 16, 2021 Super User Posted April 16, 2021 That's kind of what it was for me, but much lower grade fever. I guess the weird skin sensation is the sensory nerves responding to the carriers in the vaccine liquid itself. It was weird, but went away. 1 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted April 16, 2021 Super User Posted April 16, 2021 Two shots down as of Wednesday. Less arm pain than the first for me, but so far no other symptoms (Yeah!). Wife had a 2 week delayed reaction after the first (“Covid arm”), and has been floored by the second. Fever, aches, chills, nausea and vomiting starting day of. Having a rough go of it as we approach the 48 hr mark, but hoping things resolve quickly like most report. 2 Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted April 16, 2021 BassResource.com Administrator Posted April 16, 2021 Got the 2nd shot Wednesday. The actual shot was more painful than the first (had a burning sensation), but my arm hasn't been sore at all unlike the first injection. But even that was minor. My arm was more sore from my tetanus shot than the covid shot! Experienced an on-again off-again low grade fever starting about 6 hours after the 2nd shot. But an Ibuprofen quickly took care of it each time. Other than those extremely minor annoyances I haven't had any side effects at all. A small inconvenience to be a part of the movement to get America back on its feet and the economy rolling again! 6 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted April 16, 2021 Global Moderator Posted April 16, 2021 My buddy David had a severe reaction to shot #2 moderna. He fainted at home in his bathroom then again at the hospital after an ambulance ride. 4 bags of IV brought him back to normal. His wife was fine i had zero symptoms from either of my Pfizer shots 1 Quote
Happybeerbuzz Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 I got my 2nd shot 3 weeks ago. I was exposed to Covid last week at length on multiple occasions by multiple people that all tested positive yesterday after exhibiting clear symptoms. I feel fine. Perhaps what is even better is my state of mind. I am not worried about it in the slightest. 4 Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted April 16, 2021 Super User Posted April 16, 2021 It's weird. It's like a 50-50 mix on reactions and it always seems to be on the second shot. My son and I are getting our second a week from Saturday. Both Pfizer. I'm hearing a booster (shot #3) for Pfizer inside a year. We'll see. 2 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted April 16, 2021 Super User Posted April 16, 2021 I would have told the nosy neighbors it was just a bad reaction to the penicillin. Quote

After seeing the news reports about it, I noticed there are two extra lines on the vaccination cards that can be used for two boosters. 1 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted April 22, 2021 Super User Posted April 22, 2021 Got my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday afternoon. So far so good. My arm hurts at the injection site is about all that is bothering me right now. 3 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted April 22, 2021 Super User Posted April 22, 2021 My wife and I were scheduled to get the J&J last Thursday, which we’ve been waiting for. They put the kibosh on it the day prior lol. So we decided to get the Moderna. Had our first shot on Monday evening. Other than an ache at the injection site, neither on of us had a reaction. Got it at Walmart. Didn’t even have time to look at fishing stuff lol. 5 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted April 23, 2021 Super User Posted April 23, 2021 The Mrs and I got our second Pfizer shot yesterday?. Both of us can say our arms are surprisingly less sore than the first shot. Other than my having a really low grade migraine headache that was gone in half an hour, no discernible side effects from the vaccine and I don’t anticipate any going forward. 6 Quote
Black Hawk Basser Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Got my first on the 14th of April, second one will be on May 12. I only had minor arm soreness after the first. I got the Moderna after they paused the J & J. 1 Quote
Super User gim Posted April 28, 2021 Super User Posted April 28, 2021 I received my second Pfizer dose 13 days ago, so my full vaccination will take effect tomorrow at 14 days. My wife and I haven’t eaten out inside a restaurant since February 2020 so I am very much looking forward to doing this again soon. 1 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted May 17, 2021 Super User Posted May 17, 2021 My wife and I, as well as my oldest daughter, got our 2nd Moderna today. Hopefully we’re good. 3 Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted August 11, 2021 Super User Posted August 11, 2021 Dragging this back up. In my original post, I put off getting vaxed, well that changed. With the delta variant being what it is. I got my 2nd pfizer dose today. No side effects at all, not even a sore are. Should have done this months ago. Curious if anyone else waited this long to get theirs. 3 Quote

I finally got the first one on August 8th. ( Maderna) My wife and daughter, and granddaughter got it last week also. There were just a lot of people that got the virus that I know well this time. One good friend nearly died from it. I decided getting the vacs was the lesser of the 2 evils. My first shot didnt hurt , but I was tired for 2 days after. Today it seems like Im starting to get a sore throat … Havent been sick at all for years- not even a cold , so I hope this wasnt a mistake… 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 16, 2021 Global Moderator Posted August 16, 2021 I’m looking to get a booster as soon as it’s available, got my 1 and 2 shots back in spring: Call me a sheep but it sure looks like the first vaccine was extremely effective, got a buddy or three in bad shape that wouldn’t take it 9 Quote
