I had no symptoms whatsoever besides a slightly sore arm, which only lasted about 24 hrs. I didn’t have to make an appointment and barely waited 10 min. before the tech came out with the shot.

Hope you’re symptom free!

Glad you didn't have after effects. I usually don't

about on a par with all the rest of them I've had. Sore arm, sleepy, and one evening when I felt like I had the flu. But I wouldn't miss a shot - Covid is so much worse!

Actually my bout with covid was far easier than the vaccine. I have terrible side effects. Chills, sweats, horrible nausea, and a headache I can barely stand. Fortunately, the symptoms only last about 4-6 hours.

I haven't had any kind of reaction, mild or otherwise. Sounds like you had a hellish time.
