I got the Moderna vaccine Friday morning and here's how the weekend went for me. Of course, I was hyper-aware of side-effects so I might not have noticed some of these with a regular vaccine.

Friday afternoon: Arm was sore at point of shot. They must have hit a capillary because it bled quite a bit and I needed 2 band aids. Nothing unusual I would guess.

That afternoon I started having a very dull headache. I was working on a budget spreadsheet and the numbers didn't make any sense at all and I had to start over on the simplest tasks 4-5 times. Also, my wife was discussing one of our kid's blood work results with me and I had a very hard time processing what she was telling me. Again, if it wasn't for these two numbers based things I wouldn't have even noticed.

Friday evening I got the chills but no fever indication for about an hour.

Saturday all that was gone but my arm hurt like hell from the shoulder to mid-forearm. Painful to the touch. I bumped it getting out of the car and nearly died it hurt so bad. At around 5 PM the pain disappeared completely went away all at once. No pain at all. This was the strangest part of the weekend. And when I say all at once it was like a light switch being turned off.

On Sunday I woke up feeling more rested than I have in years and feeling better than I have in years, including my arthritis pain.

Today I feel back to normal.

Just thought I would share. . . .

I'm assuming this was first shot? That sounds pretty normal. I had practically no reaction whatsoever to my first shot.

I think it varies greatly. My first shot, pain in the arm for 48 hours and just a touch of feeling like I might be catching something. My second shot last Friday, again pain in the arm for 48 hours, a little more intense feeling of like I was coming down with something. I've had flu vaccines that did a lot worse to me.

I got first Moderna shot yesterday, Feb 8. Only slight soreness at point of injection. As of this morning no other side effects beyond slight soreness in upper arm. Glad you are doing great OP.

Wife got the moderna shot.

All she had was a little arm soreness for 24 hours. That was it.
