A member asked:
If someone is going to experience side effects from the covid vaccine, particularly the 2nd shot, during what time frame after the shot would those side effects be expected to start? within 8 hours? 12 hours? 24 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes to all. Usually starts 12-24 hrs later but very variable - sometimes begins as your leaving vaccine center, sometimes 2-3 days later.
