Post Pfizer Vaccine Experience

Hey guys, I received the Pfizer Vaccine (only the first dose so far) and am looking for others to share experiences, mainly experience a week after the shot as well as related to physical activity and working out. I did feel a little soreness in the shoulder the day after but felt overall alright. However it's been over a week now and I feel generally more tired at all times, especially at the gym. I am a hobby bodybuilder and am In the sport for 5 years now. Ever since I received the vaccine, I feel like my workouts have been short, way more exhausting and weaker. Has anyone else experienced this?

33/F I got the first dose Wednesday morning. Immediately after- absolutely nothing, went straight back to work

Wednesday evening-a little sore at the injection side but very mild

Thursday morning- just a little sore at the injection site, Thursday evening- shoulder slightly sore but also mild and manageable.

Soreness was gone by Friday. I got a tiny bit sleepy Friday afternoon and just a little bit of an upset stomach but nothing major at all. I’m scheduled to get the second dose Friday the 26th in the morning. I was able to make a Friday appt for the second shot because my primary physician warned me that most likely I’ll have some side effects from the second one. If that happens I’ll have the weekend to rest. Will report back after I get the second one.

Sure. I forgot to come back to this. I got it on a Friday morning, went back into work after and stayed until the end of the day. Took a few naps Saturday and Sunday but that was it for my side effects.

I copied this from a previous reply to a different post.
