I took my second dose of pfizer vaccine today , how soon can i start having the side effect any? which are the most common side effects for the pfizer vaccine?

Two weeks after the second dose, you would be protected from Covid-19. The usual side effects are pain at the site of infection and sometimes, muscle aches and low fever for a day or so. You may take acetaminophen for aches and fever. Wish you good health!

Most side effects will occur within the first two days, and include muscle soreness at the vaccination site, fever and aches and pains. These usually clear rapidly. If you have bothersome pain, Tylenol may be taken. Congratulations! You will be safer in two more weeks.
