It has been about three weeks since my second Moderna shot. I didn't seem to respond any differently than anyone else. The first shot was a breeze with slight fever, and the second one made me feel like I'd been punched in the arm hard and kind of tired for a couple days. My healthcare team definitely advised me to get the vaccine. My mom has a different (more rare and serious) autoimmune disease, and she was advised by her healthcare team to get the vaccine too. One of my good friends has Multiple myeloma and has her immune system close to obliterated at this point, and they still thought the vaccine was a good idea. Always good to check in with your healthcare team, but so far I'm only hearing good things. (Mom and friend are fine!)

My rheumatologist also suggested I get the Vaccination. I have received the 1st one. 2-3 days after my arm was sore, like with the flu shot. Then 1 week after the vaccination a rash began forming where the injection was given. Bumpy rash approximately 2" in diameter, red, hot to the touch, swollen and itchy. 5 days later and the rash is now approximately 5" in diameter, covering most of my upper arm. It is still itchy, hot to the touch, slightly painful to the touch, and a little swollen. Benadryl was recommended by my rheumatologist as well as Tylenol for the pain. I hope to contact my primary tomorrow about the rash as this seems strange. Online articles state this is just a minor allergic reaction, completely normal.
Best of Luck to all regarding the vaccination.

I got my 2nd one Pfizer on Feb 17th & I was fine...

I had my second shot on March 11... I had no side effects or symptoms whatsoever with either shot... Moderna...

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! I have a fried who got multiple embolisms in both her lungs after her second shot. So sorry you're going through this. Did the doctor give you any idea how long it will last?
