I got my first shot on Tuesday. Pfizer. A few hours later I started to feel very cold and developed a headache. I got home from work and slept for two hours, and felt terrible when I awoke. In the evening I started to cough and my lungs ached. Went to bed early, but awoke at two in the morning with a sore throat and a temperature. After 12 hours of sleep I still had a temperature, but no other symptoms. By lunch that was gone too, but at lunch, I realized I couldn’t taste anything. 24 hours after the first symptoms, everything was gone, but all day Thursday I was unusually tired. The second shot isn’t until June 11. The nurse said that with Pfizer you usually feel the second shot more, which doesn’t sound fun, exactly. But it’s all so worth it!

Well done! I hope all the after-effects pass now for you. ♥

I've got my letter now, so I need to book mine, and am both looking forward to it and not. XD

Vaccine side effects can be so unpredictable - my partner and I had the same Astra Zenica jab, and I all I felt was a sore arm from the stabbing while she felt drained of energy for 24 hours. Two years ago I was less lucky and had nausea and chills for 24 hours after some shots. Glad yours were short lived too.

Those are some rough side effects. :0 I'm glad you're feeling a little better.

I'm so glad you got your shot but so sorry it was rough. Here's hoping the next one won't be as bad!

Och...hopefully the second dose is kinder! Drink a lot of water 24 hours before the next shot and get good rest!
