Posted in: Japan secures extra Pfizer vaccine doses; Feb 15 approval expected See in context
I was fortunate enough, due to my prior military service, to receive the first dose of the moderna vaccine last week. As far as side effects go, I had pain at the injection site for about a day and a half. It felt like a bruise but there was none there of course. 2 days after the injection, I had a bout of severe itchy skin from the shoulders down to the waist. One dose of an over-the-counter antihistamine took care of that in short order.
