Hey Dan. Yeah, your arm will be sore - and yesterday for me the soreness went down or up a bit to my shoulder - but that goes away pretty quickly. Had that with both shots.

But ugh, I'm feverish and fatigued and achy. I had some of those symptoms - but much milder -after the first but they went away after a few hours. This dose is getting to me. I guess that's a good sign, that my immune system is responding.

The second shot supposedly helps greatly against the different variants or mutant strains. So we all need that booster shot.

Did you have Pfizer or Moderna?

You can expect to have significantly stronger reactions the second time around say the health authorities.
And I think its a sign that your immune system is getting the message, so-to-speak.
Well something like that, anyway.

I had the Moderna vax exactly 3 weeks ago today; have to wait until Aug 3 for my second stabbing.
Two days after that shot I had a wrenching gut ache that lasted a few hours.

Two days later and stomach ache? I don't recall reading that that was one of the side effects. And not 48 hours.

Second dose on August 3? August is three months away? Or did you mean June 3?

I just read that they think a booster shot will likely be needed this fall. At least for those greatest at risk of contracting it and for having major symptoms. Elderly, weakened immune systems, diabetics, et cetera.

Vaccine delivery has been late here and getting as many ppl that initial dose as quick as possible is first priority
There's talk that the 2nd dose will probably be available earlier.

Several of our local pharmacies have walk-in vaccinations available. No appointments needed. That began last Monday or so. Supply doesn't seem to be a problem other than for some isolated areas.

I had the one shot J&J vaccine and the side effects lasted about three or four days...

Fatigue and fever and headache? The second shot is supposedly worse; mine was. If so then you may have a tough stretch afterwards.

Yes. All those things plus nausea.

My wife experienced similar symptoms after her second Moderna shot.
