Anyone with no vaccination side effects

I'm booked in to have my first vaccination on Friday (no idea which yet). I get the flu vaccine every year through work and I've never given it a second thought, but I'm irrationally panicking about the Covid one. I think it's mainly around the horrible side effects, and although I know they are usually 24-48 hours and the alternative (Covid itself) would likely be far worse, I can't seem to calm my anxiety.

Is there anyone out there who had few effects (a sore arm I wouldn't worry about!) - I think hearing about all the people who spent 2 days in bed with what felt like the flu is causing me to be anxious. I can't really explain it, it's not like me at all - but I could really do with hearing some positive stories to give me hope that I could be one of the lucky ones!

None w first jab other than a slightly sore arm
Second jab felt fine that evening but slightly fluey till about 4 the following day - but going about my business as usual, lempsip appeared to help get rid of it.

I've had both Pfizer's. No side effects.

Out of the 50 colleagues and friends I know only 2 had bad side effects on the AZ 2nd.

Just a sore arm. Out of my colleagues though only a few of us didn't have side effects, no particular pattern to who didn't.

DH and I both had the AZ about 3 weeks ago neither of us had any side effects beyond slight arm tenderness.
