Current Events > Who had the pfizer vaccine? Did first shot give you any symptoms?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How about the second shot? I got my first shot today but have no side effects except for a kinda sore arm at the area they put the needle in but just curious about other people's reaction to the shot. I'm kinda scared of getting the second shot cause I heard people getting severe symptoms.

Just a soreness as well, got Pfizer on Thursday night.

it's fine. you'll be okay.

you can get free donuts at krispy kreme if you show them your vaccine card.

---

First shot was some strong soreness right in the muscle it was shot into for about a day and a half or so.

Second shot was the same soreness, but with some added exhaustion and joint pain (elbows, wrists, ankles, knees, neck, shoulders) but none of it was especially bad.

I got a headache with both shots, but it went away quickly when I drank enough water. Drink more than you think you'll need.

---

I had a sore arm for a couple days from both shots. I had some minor lightheadedness shortly after and a couple more times in the hours after the first shot, could have just been psychosomatic though cause I worry about my health to an unhealthy degree and everything :(
Also switching between chills and fever a couple times the day after the second shot.

---

had both already. just a real sore arm on the first one and nothing on the second.

---

i got extreme vertigo and actually had to go to a neurologist. couldnt sleep for days.

this is pretty uncommon though

I got Pfizer. No symptoms on first shot, second one just gave me a really sore arm and exhaustion.

My doctor was telling me to drink a shit ton of water before i get mine. Also, to avoid hot showers after the 2nd one because i guess the hot water makes blood rush to your head and it was making people feel faint

Probably should have followed the water advice myself. First shot of Pfizer gave me a pretty bad sore throat for about a week. I also had a very very light cough for 2 days.

I got my shot just this past Monday...been kinda tired lately and napping a lot, but maybe just high AF lately.

1st soreness to arm for a day

2nd I felt cold but no fever for a few hours the next morning

First shot minor soreness the next day like getting a flu shot. Second shot a little bit more sore and it lasted 2 days.

---

1st shot for me was fine, just some soreness in shoulder a few days

just had 2nd shot on thursday morning. Thursday was fine just same soreness in shoulder. Friday was rough though, had a lot of soreness and aching in a lot of my joint's and neck and my head was killing me. Got off work and fell asleep, and just woke up just now at 5:45am on saturday. Feeling a bit better now
---

neither shot gave me any symptoms besides a slightly sore arm

---

First shot just a sore arm. Second shot I had that in addition to a fever (up to 100.2), chills, and fatigue that lasted a day and a half.

---

Haven't had my second yet, but the first shot was just some arm soreness.

There might be some other soreness but it's hard to tell because I've got a kidney stone in trying to pass and that pain makes everything seem non-existent.
---

2nd shot on the 28th

First shot just a sore arm and some vague light headache that persisted for a day. However I didn't have any Tylenol to take and just ibuprofen and I was told not to take ibuprofen unless desperate.

---

First gave me some mild sick symptoms for the following day, and the arm muscle that got jabbed was sore for a few days as well.

Got my 2nd one an hour ago, and havent felt much yet.

1st shot was worse so far.

---

first: arm soreness
second: fatigue, aches, low-grade fever the next day

---

I'll let you know, I get the first one today. Kinda bad planning on my part tho, just had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday, so this'll be fun

Got the first one. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada.

---

Just soreness.

The second shot left me with a headache and fatigue
---

I got a little fatigue and some pretty bad arm soreness after the first shot, but not enough to warrant using Tylenol.

I felt awful for two days after the second shot. I had a headache so bad I barely slept the first night, plus big fatigue, some queasiness, and alternating between chills and fever. Oddly, the arm pain was minimal the second time.

That being said, I have zero regrets. As much as I complain about the side effects, I dare say its better than having COVID, and certainly better than being at risk of being a plague rat.

Edit: Oh yeah, and my parents got their first shots, and the only side effects they had was a little arm soreness. Lucky them.

---

First shot gave me soreness and a bit of fatigue. Nothing major.
I can let you know about the second shot when I get it.

first: arm soreness
second: fatigue

This is my experience

Only had the first dose. That caused soreness at the injection site for a day, but even worse was the ridicule I faced at work. It led to me being called a sheep and other names that aren't appropriate here.
---

First dose gave me some soreness in the spot. Also felt like I was coming down with something for a day or so that never materialized. I get my second shot in a couple of days.

---

1st shot, small headache that abated on its own after a couple of hours

2nd shot, much greater headache, chills, can now see through time

---

My mind was like mush. I could not think right. You guys know I writer horribly. But it was even worse. It was like it took my disability and made it 100 times work. I just couldn't think well at all.

I was lucky I took at a time where I had a few days off. If not I could not would have been in trouble .

Had the 2nd dose last Tuesday. Other than sore arm, a little headache, and some tiredness, no other side effects.

Arm is sore today, didn't feel anything when I got it yesterday

Only had the first dose, only side effect was a pretty sore arm.

I did feel a bit queasy after my first dose, but I also did my usual thing and had some scotch about thirty minutes afterwards, so that wasn't very smart.

it's to save everyone.... they cant comprehend that :(.
no one deserves the ridicule.

they'll be regretting the vaccine when they get the covid and end up in horrible shape.

First in Jan and second in Feb.

First one. No problems. Arm got more sore than a flu but not a major problem.

Second one. Arm got sore. Night of, felt slightly sick to my stomach. Chills came for around an hour but I never had a fever. I was fine the next day.

---

Got mine yesterday, no symptoms whatsoever.

---

I had no symptoms except a somewhat sore shoulder where I was injected.

---

Soreness on my arm for 2-3 days. Same with the second shot but not as bad, also had a headache that day but don't know if it was from the shot.

---

My parents got pfizer - 63yr M and 56yr F

Both had zero reaction to first shot besides just a little soreness in the arm

Second shot dad had zero reaction but my mom was sick the following day for 24 hours with fever and soreness and then eventually fine


---

My right arm was slightly sore for a day thats it after both shots

---

First dose experienced arm soreness about 6 hours after administering, lasted for 36 hours.

Second dose I felt feverish and lightheaded and a pounding headache about a whole 24 hours after administering, lasted for 24 hours. I don't get headaches nor have had a fever since I was a teenager so it really kicked my ass.

---

First dose: Sore arm later in the evening, gone by next morning.

Second dose: Sore arm later in the evening, gone by next morning. I also had very minor body aches the next morning (similar to how you'd feel when you're barely starting to get sick with a cold or whatever), but the body aches were gone by the afternoon.

Nothing else. I'm also type 1 diabetic.

---

First shot only gave me a barely sore injection site. Will find out this Saturday what sort of side effects the 2nd shot will have.

The people who have gotten it now treat it like a joke. Many others just don't seem to care. I don't see that changing.

first shot - felt tired that day and arm was sore. the tireness might have just been placebo tbh. the soreness went away after a couple days

second shot - im getting it wednesday

---

Just got my first dose. Nothin' yet.
