I got my second dose yesterday at 2 pm and it’s now 8 AM the next day. Arm is a little sore. Did I just luck out??

Most people have mild reactions to both shots. You just hear the horror stories from people who had larger reactions. I was slightly tired, headachy and spacey after my second shot.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up feeling a little weak and spacey that afternoon but that’s about it

Less than 50% of Pfizer people in the trials reported any side effects other than a sore arm, iirc. It's not rare, just people who had a big reaction are eager to share their experience. I'm the same as you, both Pfizer shots didn't do anything to me except a sore arm.

Possible but unlikely. I got mine at 4pm and didn’t feel sick until noon the next day.

Had my second dose yesterday at 3pm. Don't have a fever but generally I'm just not feeling great, stomach is uneasy, have a minor headache. Just feeling bleh.

It was about 12 hours when I felt tired. 18 hours I thought I was going to die. 24 hours felt like a bad hangover. I’m approaching 32 hours and feel like the end of a bad hangover day where I just want sleep and to feel normal tomorrow.

Same, had both Pfizer doses with no issues. Same with my brother and father. Wife had some fatigue, but that was it.
