I just had my first Covid vaccination today and haven't had any side effects, but I am so nervous waiting for something terrible to happen!

I haven’t personally, but I have a friend who did alongside her parents and they are all fine so far! They got it about three weeks ago.

Hi....the usual time it can take to get a reaction (if you are even going to) is in the first

few minutes to 1 hour. The usual time doctors may keep the patient in a safe environment is for the first 30 minutes. I wouldn't stay up all night anticipating any side effects after 4 hours since you wrote this post. You did good :) xx

I did and was anxious about the side effects too. No real ones happened though. Just fatigue. I was really anxious before the Injection. It felt as if I was getting on a roller coaster on a plane. Same kind of anxiety.

Wife and I, both 70yo and I have cancer, had our first Moderna injection 2 weeks 2 days ago with no reaction other than injection site soreness the following day. Had to wait 15 minutes before leaving following injection to see if a bad reaction surfaced. Received THE CALL TODAY scheduling our 2nd injection date so we are good to go.

Thank you! I am 70 and my husband is 78. I'm the nervous one. LOLI'm sorry you're dealing with cancer through all of this, but so happy you were able to get the vaccine.
