AJ received his vax through work (standing door security for a variety store near the mall). The store's pharmacy issued the shot Monday night at 8; it was the Johnson & Johnson single-dose edition.
By Tuesday morning he was groggy, had a huge headache, sore muscles, and chills. "Everything hurt to move." Even standing was difficult.
The headache worsened the next day, and he was unable to sleep.
He missed some work but he feels better now.
St.Tom knows personally three unrelated people who each got very ill for a few days after their second Moderna shot.
I'm glad your reaction was relatively tolerable. After dose 1 Joe said his arm felt "like it was stuck with a pin". Hopefully dose 2 isn't too bad. However bad it is, I'm sure it beats being dead.
ReplyDeleteThat's helpful info about naproxen & ibuprofen, thanks for that. I've taken maybe 2 ibuprofen in the last year, maybe I can relax some about that.
