Doctors - what has your personal experience been with the 1st and 2nd doses of the moderna covid vaccine? did you get side effects?

Very common : Side effects very common - mostly injection area pain. 15-25% get slight fever, muscle or joint aches, fatigue. Usually lasts 1-3 days, responds to Tylenol. Very worthwhile

COVID 19 vaccine : I had a very positive experience with the Moderna COVID 19 vaccinations. I had slight headache & upper body aches that lasted for less than a day after the first vaccine dose. I did not experience any side effects after the second dose. Some of my colleagues had stronger reactions than I did.

You bet I did: Have completed both doses, and the second was a bit worse than the first Moderna. In both cases painful shoulder X 4-5 days, and 3 days of low grade temp, mild malaise, general joint and muscle aching. One day of bedrest following 2nd shot. Yes, it is worth it!

Just 5% of the participants in a study reported side effects after their first inoculation, although 43% said that they experienced side effects after the second one. I just had local injection-site tenderness for a couple of days with the first dose, while I felt tired in the middle of a Working day with the second dose (but my injection site didn't hurt like the first dose did)
