Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

[neversummer]

I got my second shot of the Moderna vaccine last week and wanted to report back. I definitely had side effects this time.
Got the shot around noon, by 7 that night my arm was swollen and very sore- certainly worse than with the first dose and it only took a few hours to get there this time vs a day or two for the first dose. That night I had chills and a low grade fever. The next day I felt very run down and fatigued, the worst I’ve felt since I had cancer ~16 years ago. Still managed a short hike, but I was absolutely wiped out after. Slept really well that night, and felt significantly better the next day, did a similar length hike and felt a lot more there. The next day I did a medium length trail run and was feeling a lot better.
Most of my coworkers got the Moderna vaccine and had a similar reaction to the second dose, but it sounds like everyone was feeling better after a day or two. I’d rather have that than the reported ongoing side effects of the coronavirus itself. But who knows, maybe I’ll grow a tail in a month or two!
