The research that I saw said that even in immune system compromised folks, they felt like there was enough of a response (even among those with few side effects) that they felt like they were protected against the virus. Thank heavens! Carol |

1st Pfizer shot: Zero side effects. My arm was barely sore. I started wondering if they had given me the real deal.
2nd Pfizer shot: Mildly sore arm for less than a day. I had a low-grade fever and was very tired. That only lasted about a day.

I just read this about working out after the vaccine, which I thought was kind of interesting:

For anyone who hasn't gotten yet vaccinated and has a smart phone and feels like contributing their experience, the CDC is collecting data through something called V-safe. I think it's text-based on smart phones but not sure. When my mom got her first (Moderna) dose about a week ago at a county drive-through vaccination site, they were asking people to sign up for v-safe afterwards so that the CDC can collect more data about any reactions or side effects.
Basically, I think v-safe just texts my mom every day (or at least it did at first) to ask her if she had a sore arm, fatigue, fever, etc. I think it was pretty quick for her to click on what symptoms she was having (or that she had no symptoms). Not sure if it sent her a link through text or what. She's not real tech-savvy and has a short attention span when it comes to stuff like this so it must be fairly user friendly and quick. She had a slightly sore arm the second day after her first dose but that was it. She hasn't received her second dose yet. She's 74. So for those who have just received a dose, you can learn more about v-safe and register here (if you want) if you have your vaccine card info: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ety/vsafe.html From the FAQ page: Quote:

I'm thin and had no side effects from the first shot FWIW. adawn, I registered for v-safe as well with the CDC. They didn't ask for a whole lot of personal info so I felt okay doing so.

First Moderna shot: a somewhat sore arm and not much else. I worked out that afternoon. Second Moderna shot: a very sore arm and a headache that stuck around for a couple of days. I worked out that afternoon, and it provided some temporary relief for both the soreness and the headache.

I think you just never know how you'll react to the covid vaccines until you get them. |
