I am a male in my early 40's and scheduled for my first dose of Moderna vaccine tomorrow in Union County NJ. I am very nervous about side effects. I have been against getting the vaccine since the beginning, but have been under a lot of pressure from wife and family to get it. Therefore, I decided to give in and go for it. Just wondering if side effects are worth it? If some of you who were already vaxed wish to share what side effects you had, I would appreciate it. (Especially if you got Moderna). Thanks!

I've had both Pfizer shots with zero side effects except for soreness on the arm. Shot itself is painless. Moderna folks will chime in but if NJ CD posters are any indication, very few have had any side effects at all. Get the shot .

I got Moderna. The second shot did a number on me. I had a fever, chills, and body aches all day the day after getting the shot. But the very next day I woke up feeling normal again so it did pass pretty quickly.

I think John Yang on the PBS Newshour said the same thing. Bad for 12 hours and then back to normal. Seems like a small price to pay for some peace of mind .

If you have side effects with the vaccine, you'll be in even more trouble with the real covid virus itself.

Only a sore arm and fatigue with first dose of Pfizer. Second dose I was sick for 3 days. I probably wouldn’t survive the virus.

worth it? Is that even a question.... Covid kills. They spent billions and billions to come up with the vaccine, and you can get it for free.
