Sorry to hear that your reaction to the second dose was more than uncomfortable. Although it may have been more than you expected it was well within the norms of what we have been told. People react differently to vaccines. Yours was not a good experience. I have friends that had had virtually zero side effects other than are arm soreness with either vaccine. I'm glad you didn't skip the second dose. You will get through this and then, hopefully, be glad you did.Hello; I had the second dose of Moderna vaccine yesterday morning. First dose was not much. Some arm soreness.
The second dose is bad. About 8 to 10 hours after the injection the side effects started. The nurse told me to expect some flu like reactions so I expected some discomfort. It was much worse than that. Fever, chills, general body aches and feeling miserable for at least ten hours. Today had a bad headache. Not as bad as a real bad flu but bad enough. If the worst is over then at least it does not last as long as the flu does.
I had been considering skipping the second dose. Thinking the reports are a single dose gives some protection. I was thinking that first shot had "primed" my immune system so that if I became infected with the virus the immune response would kick in and likely prevent a bad case of the virus. The very strong reaction I had to the second injection was much more than I expected.
