So, My wife and I got the first Moderna jab for Covid-19
2021-01-03
So aside from the absolute logistics disaster at the site, the jab itself was painless to me. You have to wait 15 minutes before leaving and that was no issue. About 4-5 hours later, my wife had a very sore arm and mine was meh. Slight pain, less than my allergy shots. (I'm 50, Wife is 12 years younger than me)

Both of us had some trouble staying asleep last night, not sure if it was related or not. And by bedtime we both had a very mild headache, but not worth taking something for. No side effects aside from that. If anything changes, I will post an update and I plan to do one after we get jab #2.

#5  Just remember, no boinking for procreation for 28 days after the second shot due to possible birth defects as per the pfizer. Not kidding.

#3  Damn, getting all those shots in July at “tank hill”, the pavement would blister your hands.

#2  ..when taking the 'mandatory' flu shot in service, the usual routine was do immediately drop and a couple dozen pushups to work the arm muscles. Results varied from person to person in reducing soreness.

#1  FWIW - I got jab 1 (Pfizer) about 2 weeks ago. Mild injection site soreness for a day or so. Nothing else. Jab 2 set for next week.
