My Experience Side Effects from the COVID-19 Vaccine

I got a COVID-19 vaccine.

     I have already received the COVID-19 vaccination this month, and I am going to get the second shot next month. Today, I'm going to share with you my experience of the COVID-19 vaccine.
 

Wasn't I Scared of the New Vaccine?

Nope. When I got the COVID-19 vaccination, over 5 million people in the U.S. had already vaccinated, and I thought that it's safe for most people.

 

Moderna or Pfizer?

It was made by Moderna.

 

Did I experience any side effect from the COVID-19 vaccine?

I did have some minor side effects form the COVID-19 vaccine. Five minutes after I got the shot, I started feeling mildly fatigued. However, my tiredness went away in two hours.   In addition to that, five hours later, I started having mild muscle pain in my arm where I got the shot. It lasted for two days. That's it. To me, it was easier than side effects from the flu vaccine.

COVID-19 Vaccination After-Care Instructions

COVID-19 Vaccination After-Care Instructions

    I received this COVID-19 Vaccination After-Care Instructions at the vaccination site. It reads that side effects may feel like flu but should go away in a few days.  However, it's important to remember that if you are having an allergic reaction or have extreme shortness of breath call 911.

V-Safe After Vaccination Health Checker

V-Safe After Vaccination Health Checker

      At the vaccination site, I received this paper which V-Safe After Vaccination Health Checker explanation are written in. It's smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Through V-Safe, you can tell CDC if you have any side effects after getting the COVID-19 vaccine.    I registered to V-Safe and have received text messages from V-Safe around 2 p.m. every day since I got the shot. The questions V-Safe asks takes me about 1 minute.

First Week : They will send text messages every day.

Week 2 to 5 : They will send text messages once a week.

They will also send text messages 3, 6 and 12 months after your final dose of vaccine.

You will also get reminders if you need a second vaccine dose.
