I got vaccinated against Covid 19 on Friday Apr 9 with the Astrazeneca vaccine. Here are the side effects that I experienced:
nothing on the day of the injection but a really, really sore upper arm and general lethargy for the next two days.
Note: I started this thread as a place for folks to share info on the effects of the various vaccines available, but, not as a place to debate the merits of vaccines in general or specifically.

Re: Got the shot
Pfizer - had the first shot, super tired the first night. 3 days later had terrible lower back pain all day, could barely move around. I hope that doesn't happen again with the 2nd shot, which is coming up this Saturday.

Re: Got the shot
They're still prioritizing medical workers and first responders here so it looks like I won't be able to get mine for at least another two months or so.

Re: Got the shot
Pfizer, first shot just felt like I got beaned with a fast ball to the shoulder. No other symptoms. Second shot put me on my tail for 36 hours. Flu like symptoms and extreme fatigue. My advice is not to plan anything the day following the second dose. Good luck everyone!
Re: Got the shot
I got more reaction to the first one, but not more than a bit of pain in the arm, the second one I didn't feel it.
I do have great 5G reception now

Re: Got the shot
No chances of getting a shot here (age restrictions) and do not even plan of getting it in the near future when available; given infections are skyrocketing everyday on the 2nd wave here; plan on keeping personal protections and hygiene on high priority.

Re: Got the shot
Just had second shot of Pfizer; sore arm both times, and 24 hours of lethargy this time, but all fairly trivial.

Re: Got the shot
Have had 2x Moderna. Deep sleep for 2 hrs after the first (may just be correlation), no reaction at all to the second.

Re: Got the shot
First shot of Pfizer in January, second 3 weeks ago. No side effects with the first, 2 days a bit sniffy after the second.
