So, got jabbed, #TeamPfiezer, and arm was a little sore, headache and generally tired.

My back also hurt a little. Back kept hurting while I waited three weeks for the second jab.

Second shot, back still hurts and seems to be getting worse, arm a little sore and a little tired. After a day or two, everything passes but the back pain.

Last day of the two week was a Friday. Back still hurts and thinking seriously about going to a chiro the following week to have it checked out. Wake up on Saturday, back isn't hurting and I feel fine.

The back pain was a very specific, sharp, jabbing pain on the right side. Right of the spine, and maybe in the vicinity of the kidney on that side. I understand that the back pain may not have been connected to getting the shots and that it was all just a coincidence that it flared up and then went away all around the same time.

So, I was wondering if anyone had any side effects or noticed any issues after getting vaccinated.
 
My 2nd Moderna is at noon. Will let you know around 8 o'clock if it takes effect.
 
Same as before. Almost no issues from the vaccine. Got both my jabs. Slightly sore arm both times, like going back out to the ball field after a winter off from throwing. Feeling barely lasted a day.

Got my first one as part of #TeamPfizer on Sunday, I used to get really sick after getting a flu shot when I worked in junior hockey (and haven't got one since I left) so I was expecting the worst but other than a sore arm I had no issues. We'll see how it goes after shot 2 in August (hopefully sooner).
 
I proved my hatred of Amurrica by getting the Moderna 2x. No issues with either shot.
 
2x Pfizer. No issues. My wife got a little cold-ish for a day after each.
 
Day after the 2nd Pfizer shot my joints ached quite a bit, more than the usual background aching that comes with being 53, and I was a bit lethargic; other than that, I never noticed a thing.

Pfizer second dose on April 2. I too had back pain but it was short-lived. Mostly just fatigued. No headaches or fever.
 
First Moderna shot, just a sore arm for a day or two. Second Moderna is a couple weeks away.

Wife had her two Pfizers. First one, she had the sore arm and needed an hour nap the day after. Second one, she had a sore arm for a few days, was tired and had a fever the day after, then was tired and needed a nap the second day.
 
My wife just got the first Moderna shot yesterday. She sleeps on her side so a sore arm today.

I got Pfizer. After the first shot I was tired the next day and had a sore arm.
 
I got my second Pfizer last week. Just a little sore around the arm that day, then a little foggy the next day, however given that I had an afternoon tee time, that over-rode any further lingering effects :) (Unfortunately, some poison oak that I apparently got the week before decided to announce with a bang and I'm in skin itch hell right now).
 
Sore arm for a few hours after the first. No sore arm but felt a bit achy for a few hours the morning after the second. All in all, no big deal.
 
No side effects after Moderna 1.

After Moderna 2 last night, mostly body aches and lethargy today, plus sore at the injection site, minor chills and a slight headache. No complaints here, well worth the trade. Glad to see those reactions, in fact.

As a general precaution, though, I will apply alcohol medicine tonight.
 
I took my second Moderna on 2/28. First shot, a bit of a sore arm and a touch of fatigue. No biggie. Second, arm was a little sorer and on day two and three post shot I was tired and took a two to three hour nap. Since then all I have felt is relief that we got vaccinated.
