I hope your second jab goes as well as mine did last Friday. I planned to take it easy over the weekend which my body probably needed anyway. Never felt bad and in fact think my arm never got as sore as it did for the first jab. A coworker was ok until about a day after then said she felt like she had been hit by a truck, extremely tired and didn't want to move for about half a day. We both had the Pfizer shot. Funny how it is different with everyone.

I'm thinking the arm pain is directly related to where in the arm the shot actually takes place. My first Pfizer shot had a very sore muscle and I could hardly lift my arm past my shoulder. The second one had hardly any pain at all. I got it at a pharmacy and the same person did it both times and it was in a different place about an inch apart. I had an itchy rash for several days on the second shot with a hard bump about three inches away from the shot so it was probably related to the angle. I need/want to do the Shingles vaccine in a few weeks and I'm more concerned about that one. It seems to have more side effects than the covid one for many people.
