Tomorrow morning I'll be gaining to get my first dose of the vaccine made by bio-tech and introduced by Pfizer. Any members whether got their first dose or both doses. Could you tell what effects you experienced after your first dose initially and then after the second dose? I know arm pain will be a given. Please share thank you?

Nothing on the first. Took a 2 hour nap on the second. My wife was pooped for a day due to the massive anti body production the second shot caused.

Arm pain both times; the second one I felt feverish and didn't sleep well the night after plus ran a low-grade fever the following day or so. My head also just felt...off... along the lines of a flu-like symptom.

My wife had it worse after her second; she had chills and shakes the following day.

Typical cold and flu symptoms thank you for commenting. I got my vaccine Thursday at noon. Its been two days now and no arm pain or side effects. I get my second dose on May 6th. Well see how it goes I rather push it back a week to make it 28 days vs 21. However I will get it during the 21 day interval. I feel like spacing the doses out will lower the risk of side effects personally however I am no medical expert.

First shot wasn't anything other than some soreness at the site. The second shot didn't do much either except I slept for nearly 12 hours. It must have wiped me out.
