4 of us in my office got second dose yesterday.
4 sore arms
1 person with fever to 104, itching, body aches all over (she probably had COVID last summer, never was tested)
1 person with significant chest pain and muscle aches, she actually got COVID between first and second doses.
1 person with minimal symptoms.
1 person with mild fever last night, severe neck pain, generalized muscle aches today, and suspected priapism last night which spontaneously resolved
Nobody had any significant issues with the first doses, other than some arm soreness and mild injection site itching.

I had my 1st dose of the Moderna shot last wednesday and had a rough experience. I had 24 hours of severe chills, muscle aches, and fatigue.

I had a really rough case of COVID back in March so I figured my antibodies might protect me from having an adverse reaction but that was wishful thinking.

Full disclosure, I have a suppressed immune system from a Kidney Transplant in 2006 so my experience will likely be different from most healthy people.

Not looking forward to dose #2 but it is still better than getting COVID again.

There are many ways to spontaneously resolve priapism.

I get my 2nd Moderna dose in about 30 to 45 minutes, will give update. First shot I had a noticeably sore arm for 48 to 72 hours but that was it.

Do you think people who have had covid should sit out the vaccine a while?

Seems like people who have already had it react poorly to the vaccine.

I may get pilloried here, but if I already had the real deal and I were not in a high risk group or directly caring for someone in a high risk group, I would wait at least 90 days after infection before considering getting vaccinated. I know that the vaccines reportedly give higher immunoglobulin levels than is seen even with a COVID infection, but without a significant mutation (which would affect the vaccines' efficacy as well), a second infection within 90 days should be unlikely and if it should occur the illness should be attenuated.

Everybody has to assess their own risk tolerances. I am so sick of this virus being politicized, both with those calling it a "weak ass virus" and with those "shaming" people who want to wait and let some more data shake out before getting a vaccine which came to market in record time, using relatively small numbers of study participants, and which has never been accomplished with mRNA technology. And I say all that fully understanding that the vaccines have been an amazing blessing to millions and will no doubt save lives.

This is my stance 100%. I would encourage recovered people to donate blood quarterly then if/when your titers fall can pursue vaccination.

Most of the data I have seen indicates at least 8 months immunity after infection at this time.

Update on 2nd Moderna vaccine, got it around noon yesterday. Sore arm today, seems worse than the 1st time but that's it. No uncontrolled erections.

Not booster, but thought I would add. Got Pfizer shot 1 yesterday at 2pm. Went to bed 11 or 12pm with zero symptoms. Woke up at 7am with a pretty sore shoulder, like if someone assaulted me with a blunt object (very circumscribed to probably a 2-3 inch diameter from injection site. Nothing that affected functioning, but I was surprised when I woke up. Some pain/discomfort when I raised my arm or used deltoid. Probably only a 1-2 on a 10 point pain scale. Its 12:30 pm now. If it was a 2 at 7am, it is a 1 now. Just posting this for reference if anyone cares.

edit to add: uncontrollable erections have been minimal

My Medical Assistant got her Moderna yesterday (I had Pfizer). She got the exact same thing I got - significant neck pain on same side as injection. She didn't say anything about priapism, but she may have kept it to herself for fear of being written up and put into the Sexual Harrassment complaint cup I made for our office.



As you can see, the cup is pretty full

Wife has gotten both rounds of Moderna now and had no side effects other than sore arm. My 82 year old Dad gets his first shot on Wednesday. Very interested to see how he reacts.

Any other updates from anyone?

Priapism has not returned.
