I have had the two shots and booster in the US.  Moderna is not yet approved for the booster, but should be in a relatively short time.  I suspect they will follow the same guidelines as laid out by Pfizer.

Pfizer both shots.

1st shot; Slight soreness in arm.

2nd shot; Felt like <deleted> all the next day. Took Acetaminophen and slept on and off all day. The following day I felt fine.

2 x Az - my arm was a bit sore and stiff for 24 hrs both times, and I was tired, but that might have been nothing to do with the vaccine. 

 

My husband had 2 x Sinovac, 1 x Pfizer. He felt a bit rough after one of the Sinovac, but I can't remember which one. Slight fever, sore arm and very tired. He slept it off over night.

(Re: allergic reactions. I am allergic to tetanus shots. I still get them when I am due, but I have to stay at the doctor's office until the swelling goes down, and I get the jab in my thigh so the swelling doesn't affect my breathing. It's not pleasant, but it's once every 10 years and it's still better than getting tetanus.)

2 x Pfizer

 

1st Vaccination: Had to lock away all the cutlery because walking through the kitchen had all the knives, forks and spoons flying through the air trying to stick to my magnetized body. The magnetism wore off after a couple of days, but I still eye the spoons carefully in case they start twitching as I pass by.

 

2nd Vaccination: Had a slightly sore arm until I realized that the tracking chips in the vaccine were bunching up and concentrating the 5G RF signals at the site of the injection. After installing a Faraday cage in the house and staying inside it a couple of days the symptoms went away.

You probably didn't notice, but your 5g phone reception would have improved as well.

Pfizer.  A small bump on the arm but I thought it was a bug bite.  Didn't pay attention.  Second shot, a bit of local soreness in the arm for at worst half a day.  Not as bad as all the shots I had before coming to Thailand in 1977 with the Peace Corps. 

[KannikaP]

2 Pfizers, 3rd & 24th Sept. No reaction to either at first, but three days after the second one, I developed a rash/blistes on my tummy, leg & arm. Itchy but not painful. Put Systral Cream on.

[Harry2]

Had my first AZ jab at the end of June. I had painful leg muscles for 72 hours. Painful in the sense I had to keep shifting position every few minutes even in the night, which meant little sleep. It ended after 3 days/nights but I was intending to go to hospital if it had lingered longer. second AZ jab in Sept  = nothing.

[Fairynuff]

1st AZ in June, extremely mild aching legs. Nothing else.

2nd AZ tomorrow. Hopefully nothing worse than the 1st.

2 x AZ; 12 weeks apart (June & September). No side effects at all.

Sorry, I should have said that I’m 56 years old. 

[Freddy42OZ]

I put mild reaction for both, although the reaction was just a sore arm so perhaps should have said no reaction.

With both Pfizer jabs, my wife said she enjoyed my reactions thoroughly ????

Sounds like a happy ending for both of you.

[brianthainess]

70 yrs had my first shot of Pfizer, bit of a sore arm, but no reaction, I was told not to drink alcohol for 2 days, (only a moderate drinker) so ended up drinking coke both evenings, I had more energy than I'd had in a long time with all that sugar i presume.

[cdemundo]

Had 2 Moderna. No reaction at all.

No redness, no itching, no pain.

[champers]

2 x Pfizer. After the first I felt a little high; not unpleasant. After the 2nd I immediately felt desperately tired and when home I was out for the count as soon as my head touched the pillow. Woke up fine 3 hours later.

[cdemundo]

thanks for an interesting survey.

 

I was surprised by the majority of responses being no reaction. (me too).

I guess when people have no reaction there isn't much to say.

If you have a reaction you have a little bit of a story to tell so it makes a bigger impression.

 

[Callmeishmael]

2 Sinovac shots.  No reaction to the first shot and just a painless rash for the second shot.

[Lantern]

Had two AZ shots. No adverse reactions at all.

[worgeordie]

regards Worgeordie

 

[Hanuman2547]

I had the Pfizer vaccine back in April and May.  I had no reaction to the vaccine except for some mild soreness at the injection site.  It went away in about 24-30 hours.

[JFHuaHin]

first shot of pfizer , sore thigh muscles and <deleted> muscles, this started after 4 days and lasted around 7-8 days

 

after 2nd shot, after 12 hours, both thigh muscles were playing up again.

 

ulrasound scan showed no blood clots so just continued as normal, now all gone

[sncoem]

after 1 AZ shot, half face problem for 2 weeks, just start to get better now but not sure 100%. Let's hope, but I didn't do second shot and will not.

1st AZ, mild fever symptoms on and off for 2-3 days, paracetamol and off to bed. early sore arm 

2nd AZ, no reaction, mild sore arm.

I had about the same but I was rather more wiped out for 3 days with the first dose. I didn’t take anything for the mild fever. I think mild fevers are best to let run. Arm quite sore. The symptoms peaked the day after.

 

I'm now on the day after my second dose. No fever. Not wiped out. Sore arm but about a third as sore as the first dose.

 

Frankly I would have been disappointed to not get any side effects. If you have some at least you know it wasn't sugar water!

 

Speaking of water I was better hydrated BEFORE the second dose than the first dose. Regardless of side effects its a good idea to hydrate before the jabs.
