Day after vaccine report

[rachelmanija]

This is just for science and curiosity; I would be totally OK with WAY worse side effects.

The day after my first dose of Moderna, my arm hurt so much that I couldn't move my shoulder (luckily I was OK just moving my hand, so I could still type), and by late afternoon I felt generally like I had the flu.

The day after that (today), my arm still hurts but I have much more range of motion, the flu-like symptoms are gone, and I just feel a bit tired and like I'm recovering from some incredibly intense whole-body workout.

I feel good about my probable level of protection.

By the way, frozen shoulder (longer term, not just pain due to arm soreness) is a possible complication of any immunization, and generally means the shot went into the wrong area.
