Got my second pfizer dose yesterday. Currently arm is just sore but far more sore than last time. Also injection area is pretty painful to touch. No fever or other symptoms luckily.

Update:
Feeling sick and tired. Tried getting some work done but was too tired. Arm is less sore so...yay?

Had the first jab, and had only minor problems for a couple of days. Get it done!
I has pretty much the same reaction although no back pain. I recovered completely by today.
I got my jab with Johnson & Johnson yesterday. Except for some soreness in my upper arm for the first hour after the injection, I've felt nothing whatsoever - so I guess I'm lucky (or they gave me placebo 
)
A bit of background: In Denmark, you need a negative test of max. 72 hours to do basically anything - going to zoos, museums, movie theaters, bars, gyms, in many cases workplaces... It is, to put it mildly, a pain in the ass because you (at least in my local area) have to queue for ages at the test stations. Ordinarily, my age range (25-39) wouldn't get their first jab until a month or two from now, but they made an opt-in program for the two vaccines (J&J and AstraZeneca) which have been pulled out of the regular vaccination program. I got approved for Johnson & Johnson this Tuesday, and my vaccination becomes valid in my "corona passport" in 14 days (until then, I still have to test). It's a huge relief to not have to test for hours upon hours this summer to do any museum and zoo visits.

I got the first dose of moderna yesterday and I hate everything about it. I blame myself for watching one too many "alternative media".

It was a little messy. There was a lot of unnecessary paper work that I didn’t like, because I knew a lot of people would probably just throw it away instead of recycling it. Besides that, though, it was straightforward and quick.
I got my second Pfizer shot a day ago. Started feeling pretty groggy 12 hours afterwards. Mostly feeling sweaty, aches, and clammy, but a little One Piece and a rewatch of Interstellar means it hasn't been too bad. 
I'm glad that I'll be fully vaccinated as it will allow some peace of mind for myself and (more importantly) my family over any irrational or additional fears over covid and I can hopefully get out to more zoos as a result.

I had my first dose of Pfizer yesterday afternoon.
So far not too much side effects, just soreness around the injection site, and I'm also feeling tired today, but as I didn't have a very good week I'm not sure whether that has something to do with the vaccine. Unusually for me I also don't have much appetite today, but again, whether it has anything to do with the vaccine I don't know. I hope it stays this way and doesn't get worse.
Although I was considering going to the AfricaMuseum in Tervuren tomorrow, I now think I'm going to have to take a bit more rest.

Had my first dose of Pfizer on Tuesday - tiny bit of dried blood around the injection site, had a little lump just below the injection site that has now gone altogether and was very tired and groggy for the rest of the Tuesday but am now completely fine.
Second shot of Moderna 2 weeks ago now. I'd had a hard week at work and knew there was a not-insignificant chance I would be floored by this dose for the whole weekend. I bought comfort foods and Gatorade, downloaded some books and TV episodes, and made zero plans to go anywhere.
All I got was a sore arm again. Who knew I was so healthy? I eat too many artificial cheese products to deserve that.

First shot: sore arm, felt listless the next day.
Second shot: sore arm, felt alright.
Insatiable hunger for raw meat & highly improved basketball skills under a full moon? Still prevalent.

Update: I felt better for some time this afternoon and thought maybe I'm done with this, but have started to feel more tired and sore again over the last few hours. So I'm definitely going to take more rest tonight and tomorrow and forego activities.
I got my first dose yesterday. It is actually called Fosun Pharma/BioNTech comirnaty vaccine here (I aren't sure what's the difference between that and Pfizer) and it's a very quick process in the vaccination centre. I still feel a bit sore and tired with my arm when I raised up my hand, but hopefully that'll go away soon.
No difference, merely a different name - you've had the Pfizer jab.
Thanks I vote correctly then,
Update: After a good sleep (and 12 hours) my arm is back to normal and the pain is gone.
