Second Pfizer jab, what to expect?

Wondering if people have been worse 2nd time round or same as 1st time? I had 2 weeks of swollen lymph nodes last time and have my 2nd jab later today. Bit anxious!

I was fine second time. First time I spent a day in bed with flu type symptoms

I had my second on Saturday and felt very tired yesterday but otherwise nowhere near as bad as the first

I was fine after 2nd vaccine, very mild sore arm that went within 24hrs.

MojoJojo71 · 04/05/2021 07:30

I had no side effects at all after mine

I was fine second time. First time I felt very rough for 36hours

My DH has had both. No side effects either time.

I just felt tired. I expected more but nope just tired.

The 2nd I did feel worse, felt really sick and my arm and armpit were in agony.
All my glands were up, just felt yuk, lasted 48 hours and after felt fine.

Not too bad then in general. I ask because my side effects were slightly unusual 1st time as I got swollen glands but not until a week afterwards and then they lasted for 2 weeks. Felt slightly shivery and tired for a few days as well while glands were up. Hoping for milder side effects this time.

Both myself and my DH had our second Pfizer on Saturday afternoon ,no side effects,and neither of us had any with the first either ,I think it's just luck of the draw tbh .

How soon after second jab did you get fever etc if you got one ?
