Had my 1st dose over the weekend. It was painless and I didn’t experience any side effects myself.

I got my first vaccine last week. It was very simple.
I giggled because of nerves but the only side effect was
my shoulder being a little sore for a day.

You can do it!!

Hello Emerald,

I received my first dose of the Vaccine early March, all I had was a little soreness in my arm, but other than that I was fine. Might want to take some Tylenol if it helps. I receive my second dose this Friday.

Everything will be alright, everything will be okay! You will do great!

MY parent had their vaccine. It was easy. It only takes half an hour. They have no side effects. They feel good.

Thank you everyone. Its been 45 minutes now and I feel ok. A littke light headed but thats all. The shot was painless. The pharmacist did say it I will start to feel the arm soreness in a couple hours and it will be very sore tomorrow. I have another question for thos who got it which one did you get? I got Pfizer.

I had Moderna - two doses. First one was fine. Second one kept me home from work for 2 days with chills, bone aches, low fever, headache and just general body aches. But when it left it left fast and I am now fine and happy to be fully vaccinated!

I'm going with the Astra Zenica if I can get it and my second choice is J&J.

My concern is not so much the engineering of the mRNA vaccines but the manufacture. I'll take what I can get and if it does something horrible, I'll just kill myself.

I got Moderna, first dose no problem, 2nd dose, felt kinda flush the day after, but great after that. That seems to be common w/moderna,, but everyone I know who got Pfizer had no prob after either dose. I know one person who got the J&J, it put them down for a day, but all better now. Glad you got your first dose!
