Has anyone had both Pfizer and no side effects?

Got my second Pfizer next week and am in the middle of a very busy time at work and some exams coming up. I didn’t have any effects apart from a slightly sore arm after my first and am now rather apprehensive the second is going to put me out of action for a few days. I know no one can tell me definitively but has anyone sailed through both Pfizer’s without issue or am I doomed to some level of illness next week?

I've had both of my pfizer jabs and had no reaction to either of them

I had my second one Wednesday and apart from a slightly sore arm I've been fine, with the first I had a bit of a headache for a few days.

Very little side effects OP. After the first had a slight headache for a couple of days, taken care of by some pain killers. I also had a slight sore arm.

Second one, I had even less. No headache and just a sore arm.

I was a little tired after both.

My mother inlaw had no side effects with Pfizer. She is 80 now so had both doses.

Apparently all the vaccines can cause side effects more in younger people though. The second one with Pfizer statistically is the worst. Opposite with AZ.

I’ve had both doses of Pfizer as has my husband and sister and none of us have had any reaction at all to either dose .

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 07/05/2021 13:05

Had my 2nd Pfizer yesterday.

So far just a sore arm and a bit achy but not bad at all so far. Same as I was after the first.

I was really worried because of all the "AZ is worse after the first dose, Pfizer is worst after the 2nd." Stuff I've read on here...come to think of it I've ONLY read it on here!

I had my second two weeks ago after zero reaction from my first. I had a slightly woozy headache after about 4 hours and then a couple of hours after that felt a bit shivery. I could definitely have powered through but by then it was 9pm so I just had an early night and by the morning I was tip-top.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 07/05/2021 14:34

First one felt dreadful, 2nd nothing.

ZZTopGuitarSolo · 07/05/2021 18:30

DD1 and DD2 sailed through both Pfizer shots with no side effects other than sore arm.

DS had no side effects from his first shot.

eepeep · 07/05/2021 23:20

Had both and only a sore arm both times.

espressoontap · 07/05/2021 23:22

I've had both and been fine Smile

Good luck with the exams.

Wakeupin2022 · 07/05/2021 23:40

My parents & inlaws. I'm not aware that any had any side effects.

LullabyTime · 08/05/2021 00:59

Had my second Pfizer jab on Thursday and, like you, was apprehensive because I’m about to start a new job and have exams next week, so need to study this weekend!

Other than slightly swollen glands in my armpits, plus a mildly uncomfortable arm, I feel fine.

Good luck with everything 🙂

mynameisbrian · 08/05/2021 01:01

dead arm with the first and nothing at all with the second

KobaniDaughters · 08/05/2021 01:03

1st time mildly sore arm
2nd time very sore arm for 36hours

No other side effects

Figgyboa · 08/05/2021 05:25

Yes. Had my second shot on Monday, no side effects

bengalcat · 08/05/2021 05:30

Me - had both - no side effect with either

Fringeblack · 08/05/2021 09:39

No reaction to both jabs thankfully

cansu · 08/05/2021 09:41

exactly 24 hours after second jab, I was unwell for about 8 hours. Time your jab carefully. The first one was less of an issue.

Doireallyneedaname · 08/05/2021 10:03

Sore arm and hungover feeling for 48 hours after first - nothing major

Sore arm & felt like I was coming down with something for 1 day after the 2nd, muscle aches, fatigue, low grade fever, but nothing that stopped me doing what I needed to do.

Oldraver · 08/05/2021 10:13

DS has his three weeks apart, second beginning of January and no problems

Lazierdays · 14/05/2021 13:11

Thanks everyone, had it a couple of days ago and all I’ve had is a sore arm. All the positive stories must have helped Grin.

Had 2nd pfizer on Tuesday. Had a bit of a sore arm the next day but apart from that, no symptoms.

Oldraver · 17/05/2021 20:24

Had my second one last week and while my arm was more sore for the first day than the first dose, it hadn't been sore since
