Vaccinated ERA: Pfizer or Moderna?
- Thread starter hitme
- Start date
Same here, it was only for a couple days though so i'm thankful for that.
I'm in the novavax trial, second jab was last week. First one I had no side effects. Second one I had arm soreness for a few days, and full body aches on the second day only. Not sure if I was in placebo group or vax group, but 2/4 of trial subjects get vax
Pretty common knowledge the Moderna has the worse side effects.
Personally, every time someone complains about a really bad vaccine experience, I find out they had the Moderna.
Pfizer has side effects too and I got them, but I see the worst with people who got Moderna.

It had been past 14 days and I was mostly asymptomatic during infection. The guidance was to get shot from the team administering the vaccine and it seems that was a good choice because of developing variants.
I had almost no side effects from either doses, except arm soreness.
Got Moderna for both vaccines. First dose, I was fine. Second dose kicked my ass. Feverish with chills, massive headache, aches all over. I guess that's what the flu feels like (never had it before). Felt better after 24 hours.
I get my second Moderna tomorrow. I'm definitely worried lol, but I know it's absolutely going to be worth it.
Did you have any effects from the first one? My arm hurt for like two days but that was it.
Moderna. Sore arm the day after the first dose. Lasted just the one day.
Second dose due March 18.

Moderna. 1st dose 1145am- 4hrs later extremely sore arm for the night. Woke up for work at 530am and couldn't even lift my arm to put deodorant on, very tender to even a slight touch, big hard lump where the shot was. Exactly 24hrs later 12pm had a fever 100 and body aches that consistently got worse. Had the chills and sweated all night. When i woke up for work the next morning every symptom was gone and i never felt better! Go figure. Even my sore arm felt fine.
Second dose in a few weeks

This. Every single person I personally know that got side effects like fever got Moderna. While the ones that got Pfizer only reported sore arms.
I hope my mom can get Pfizer when it's time for her to get the vaccine
I got both shots of Moderna.
No side effects after first shot; low-grade fever the day after the 2nd shot, with chills and mild back aches, but no other symptoms. It subsided in less than 24 hours.

My work is giving us the Pfizer vaccine. I'm getting my 2nd dose of the vaccine tomorrow. First dose I just had a really sore arm that made it practically unusable for a day but that's about it. I hear the 2nd dose tends to have more possible side effects so we'll see what happens come tomorrow.
I know era is US centric but I'm glad there's a third option in the polls haha
I got the sinopharm one cos it's the only one I could get before moving out of my home country. It's free anyway so why not lol
some minor side effects (sore arms and diarrhea) aside I feel pretty good with it. It's been 2 weeks since the second shot but I'm still in a third country with nearly no covid cases, so I dunno

Your sacrifice will be noted. As the 5g eggs hatch in your brain, just know in the last seconds it was all for the greater good.
(that's super cool, all I want to do is be vaccinated and be able to see my mom in Oregon. )
After my first dose I had a sore arm for about 2 days as well. As for the second dose. Just be ready, but it could be you don't feel much at all. For me the headache and temperature started about 5 hours after. The night sucked. Robitussin helped. This morning was bad but now I can feel the side effects starting to go away. I'm hoping by morning I'll be back to normal. Just know you're doing the right thing for you and those around you.
I'm wondering about me then. I'm youngish (33), had Covid in June, and then got my first Pfizer shot a week ago. Only had a sore arm but expected a strong response since it was the second time my body would've seen the spike protein...
no idea what that means for my immune system, but I tested positive for Antibodies in December still...
Moderna. Got the first shot four weeks ago, second last Friday. No side effects aside from soreness in the arm the first time, but I got quite sick from the second one. Strong muscle cramps, no energy, alternately freezing cold and sweaty. Felt like I had a really bad flu, basically. Lasted for two days. I'm recovering from it now, but my energy is still not where it was.
Moderna.
Got my first dose February 6th. Scheduled to get my second dose March 6th. Hoping it doesn't get delayed due to the fuckery of the PA rollout.

When I'm looking at how bad Germany is right now I'm getting everyone vaccinated, I might never get a shot -.-
my aunt, who is a icu nurse, got the BionTech shots.

I received my first dose of Moderna Dec 26th and the 2nd dose on Jan 16th. I hit peak immunization on Feb 13th.
The first dose was no issue other than a bitching ache in my arm that lasted 2-3 solid days. The second dose knocked me on my ass the day after. The second dose did a number on every person in my department. One person who got it on a Friday had no side effects until Saturday around noon and he called in Monday as well so he was down for three days total. At the very least, people had a day of side effects, some as many as 3days. I work from home so got mine in the middle of the week but anyone who worked in the office got thiers on a Friday to avoid having to call in or take time off. Everyone except the guy I mentioned earlier recovered over the weekend.
My advice is to get it around lunch on Friday and plan on laying low Sat & Sun. Pre game some motrin for the arm pain if you have a low pain tolerance. It was bad enough that if I rolled over in my sleep onto that arm, the pain would wake me from a dead sleep.
below is my summary after receiving the 2nd dose
I'm not going to lie, for me the second day of the second COVID vaccine was a little rough. My temp peaked at 100.8, I was fatigued (not sleepy!), I had some very odd muscle weakness, and I had a head fog I couldn't shake. It felt like I had been drugged. The head fog was the oddest sensation for me. I felt like I was in limbo all day long. I couldn't even concentrate on simple tasks for a long period of time and things like video games or movies couldn't hold my attention for longer than a few minutes. Today, officially day 3 post vaccine, I am probably around 90% back to normal. Even my arm pain is gone. All this is coming from a guy who never gets sick or takes medicine, and is anything but a hypochondriac.
Luckily, I was able to simply take the day off and work Saturday instead. It is one of the many perks of my job.

I've had both doses of Moderna through work, with my first dose before Christmas last year. I had pretty notable flu-like symptoms for both doses that put me out of commission for a day each, but I also actually had COVID about a month before my first dose, so it was probably related to that.
i legit wonder if i'm going to be vaccinated one day judging by the brazilian government choices
All I will say is everyone gets different symptoms. One of my coworkers had a 103 temp and couldn't get out of bed (though they had covid before the shot and I've heard having it makes the vaccine rougher on you). I merely woke up once at 5 am, sweating with chills all over my body and no energy, but when I woke back up at 9 am I felt completely fine.
First shot of Moderna last Friday. Sore arm for a day and weird foggy feeling and was tired. By Sunday I was fine.
Round 2 will be March 19. I'm one part excited one part nervous. If it puts me on my ass I'll just take a day or two off work. No biggy.

Yeah, we'll see. I haven't had COVID so hopefully I get the lighter side of it.
