The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) listed the following as possible side effects of Covid-19 vaccination:
In the arm where you got the shot:
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
Throughout the rest of your body:
- Tiredness
- Headache
- Muscle pain
- Chills
- Fever
- Nausea
I only suffered pain in the arm where I got my shot. No redness nor swelling. 48 hours later, I only feel a bit of tenderness at the injection area.
The night after the injection, I had chills and felt feverish in my sleep. General tiredness and muscle pain in the first 24 hours. I am thankful I do not have any headaches nor nausea. I do experience some sort of dizziness and tend to be rather thirsty these past two days.
I would classify my side effects as very mild. Getting them is actually a good thing because it means that my body is fighting and building up the necessary antibodies.
