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 had minor side effects with first dose and none apart from sore arm with the second!

Ive just had my 2nd and feel dreadful. Nothing with the first one but this has really knocked me out. I’ve got no energy or strength whatsoever. Whenever baby sleeps, I am sleeping.

No side effects here from Pfizer

vaxmeup · 13/08/2021 14:55

No side effects here beyond a sore arm after first dose and perhaps felt more tired than usual but could have been psychosomatic! Second dose had a slight sore arm (less painful than first time) and nothing else.

ABitOfAShitShow · 13/08/2021 14:58

Me! Sore arm (normal for jabs) and nothing else.

Mandalay246 · 13/08/2021 23:48

Me - all I had was a slightly achy arm.

Giggorata · 14/08/2021 10:27

Also me. 🙂

Cherir20 · 14/08/2021 16:14

I had mine 2 hours ago and am absolutely EXHAUSTED ! I am jealous of all these sore arm stories ! I have a 10 month old to look after so not looking forward to the rest of the day … AHh!

After the first dose I felt slightly cold for a few hours the following evening. After the second dose I got some soreness around where the injection had been when I was briskly pushing DS up a hill in his buggy. That's it Smile

QueenofKattegat · 14/08/2021 16:22

Same here. No side effects whatsoever.

MissCruellaDeVil · 14/08/2021 16:24

Me, no side effects apart from redness in the arm at the injection site.

LoveFall · 14/08/2021 16:45

Sore arm with both. Did not limit my activities. I don't know anyone who had anything different except a fee said a very mild headache.

MonsterJammin · 14/08/2021 17:47

DH, DSis, DBIL and I. All just had the sore arm but it didn't stop up doing anything. DH and I were at CrossFit/playing football within hours both times.

GreatBigBeautifulTommorow · 14/08/2021 17:52

Yep 1st Pfizer wouldn’t have known I’d had it.
Second 11 weeks later, slightly achey arm.
Getting ready for boosters, hope that’s the same!

IceLace100 · 14/08/2021 19:18

After my second Pfizer I had a slight headache for one day. Basically was symptomless!

Redcrayons · 14/08/2021 19:21

My mum. She’s joked that they gave her a dummy one because she didn’t even have a sore arm either time.

She’s pretty stoic to be fair.

Alternista · 14/08/2021 19:21

Sore arm after first, literally nothing after second.

RoseAndGeranium · 14/08/2021 19:24

My arm hurt badly after both and I was quite fatigued the day after the second jab but not so much that I couldn’t take care of my toddler as usual. I’d have been able to do a day at work for sure. Fingers crossed you’ll be no worse!

FellWanderer · 14/08/2021 19:25

The only side effect I had for both jabs was a sore arm.

ifonly4 · 14/08/2021 19:25

I only know five who've had Pfizer, none had any side effects whatsoever with either vaccine, ages 19, one in 20s, one in 30s, one 80, the other 84.

BusySittingDown · 14/08/2021 19:26

1st dose nothing, not even sore arm. 2nd dose slightly sore arm like a bruise at the site of injection, other than that nothing!

DariaMorgendorffer · 14/08/2021 19:34

Me Smile other than a mildly tender arm for a few hours after jab 2.

CaptainMyCaptain · 14/08/2021 19:36

First in February, second in May. I'm fine.

Immaculatemisconception · 14/08/2021 19:38

Me and DH have had both, no side effects.

Onesipmore · 14/08/2021 19:38

No side effects first or second. Slightly sore arm that's it.
