Getting Pfizer Vaccine Second Dose: Side Effects and Reactions - Vlog

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
  • David and his COVID bubble discuss what it's like to get dose 2 of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. What were the side effects (if any)?
    Note: The point of making this was not to flex or brag but to help demystify the process for people. Going into dose 2, I'd heard so many different things about what the experience could be like. I hope this gives you some sense of what the results might be, and that it helps you to make your own plans around dose 2. We are not medical professionals. If you need medical advice, ask your doctor.

    Got my 2nd shot yesterday and I feel like crap! Extreme fatigue, chills, headache and body aches. Now, I've been able to avoid COVID for over a year and a half only to take this damn shot and feel like she*t! Temperature goes up occasionally....I hope to never take it again!

    So... people need to get these shots every year as boosters, and feel like shit for several days guaranteed? I have been sick like twice in the past ten years, now this will guarantee at least once per year... I mean does anyone else see an issue with this?

    First shot of the Pfizer vaccine I had pain at the injection site first day. Woke up in the middle of the night with an insanely painful headache on the top of my head. It lasted until the middle of the following day. I had chills in the morning and slept off and on throughout the day. 2nd day after vaccine, I was tired but overall felt much better. With the second shot I had no symptoms that day. The next morning I woke up with loud ringing and pressure in both ears, chills, and an overall sense of disorientation. I slept most of the day but felt better by day 3, However, my second vaccination was on April 1st and my ears are still ringing. I am 65.

    Had my 2nd Pfizer three days ago. I would say some fatigue first 24 hours. Slight headache. And sore arm, which feels fine now. Only strange thing was that I was really fatigued and lethargic today, day 3, but feel much better now in the evening. I did a full weight lifting and aerobic workout the same day of the dose, and did a normal aerobic workout the day after.

Been having bad stomach aches here and there, other than that, just a sore arm. I live with an older couple being 70 and 74 and they just had sore arms. I know another old couple who also got the same vaccine as us and their reactions were exactly the same, but opposite; only having chills for a couple days on either of the doses.

    Had my first shot felt fine. No pain arm was good, piece of cake. Three weeks later had my second shot at 2:00pm went to bed that night and felt fine. The next morning got up went to make my morning coffee when I realized I had chills. Turned the heat up a couple degrees and realized I felt hungover. Like real hungover. Went back to bed and stayed there all day. The next day I woke up and felt I was about 80% normal. By the time the evening rolled around I knew I was through the worst of it. On the third day, I was totally back to normal. I should mention that I'm 67 and a diabetic with good sugar control. Was it worth it, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

    My husbands experience here. He just turned 50 3 weeks ago.
    Dose one for me had i soreness in my arm. Does-2 though 8 hours in the arm pain was 3X worse than dose 1 which resulted in an awful night of sleep. Couldnt find a comfortable position to sleep in because no matter which side i laid on. The arm pain was miserable. When i got up for work my arm pain eased a little but still hurt all day. By 9am i had nausea and shortness of breath even while sitting down. Im about 32 hours in as i type this.

I am having my second next week and am stocked up on Tylenol, Soup and hoping for the best. Everyone I know with the exception of my Brother has had side effects.

      All signs and symptoms of an inflammatory response, just a helluva' big one. You DO NOT TAKE AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY Meds SUCH AS IBUPROFEN OR NAPROXEN (GENERIC NAMES - READ THE NAMES ON THE BOX OR BOTTLES OR ASK YOUR PHARMACIST)!! TAKING AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY WILL WORK AGAINST THE IMMUNE RESPONSE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET FROM THE VACCINE.

Worst pains ever. I googled it and saw that it may cause the lymph nodes in that area to get inflamed and many women have had similar issues.

I was absolutely FLOORED, it hit me so hard. These side effects got worse and worse over time. On the morning of the third day I was dry heaving in the bathroom, I was so nauseous. On the 4th day, I finally started feeling like myself again. It was terrible. Never felt so sick before this. Not getting any boosters after this. Hell no
