Sounds about right. Haven't gotten the updated shot yet but I've gotten the first Moderna shot & later the Moderna booster. Both times I kind of went through a quick and short fever/chills stage & some fatigue.
For me personally that seems to kick in around 8-12 hours after the shot so I try to get it early in the day, head to work/head home, then with any luck I sleep through most of the side effects & feel more or less okay the next day.
That's what I should have done. Instead, I got it late in the day, slept, and woke up just in time for the side-effects to start ramping up. :(
I've always gotten Moderna, and yeah, it sucks for like 36 hours. Headache, fever, chills, sore arms, fatigue. It passes pretty quickly though, and it's a hell of a lot better than getting COVID.
Seems to be passing for me now, so that lines up.
I've gotten Moderna for all my COVID vaccines so far. The only one to kick my ass was the second one of the initial shots. That one gave me a fever the next day, but I was able to call off work so it was okay. I was okay the day after, but sadly I had to go back to work.
Maybe you actually caught something while getting your vaccine
Don't think so. Just slept off the worst of it and I'm feeling a lot better this morning.
A coworker of mine did exactly as you. He never described his symptoms and exactly how bad they were, but he stated that overall Moderna was the worst one, but far better than covid itself.
I've been lucky not to catch COVID at all so far. I've got extended family who have, and it's been an object lesson in why vaccinating is so important. With vaccines, I feel crummy for a day or two. My father-in-law is on year three of feeling crummy due to long COVID, and my brother-in-law is on year two.
I haven't had the new vaccine yet, but after evading the old strain and catching the new one before vaccines were available, I can say... the original Moderna vaccine kicked my ass about equally as hard as covid's first day did.
(The cough is by far the worst part, but for me that didn't start until later, so the covid fever day felt completely identical to the post-vaccine day.)
I got off pretty lucky.
That was pretty much me a few days ago. I ate food that was a little hot, and I could feel it going through my insides for a little while, and it was painful. My fever was close to 103.
Is there a chance you just happen to have gotten sick coincidentally around the same time that you got the vaccine?
I've always gotten Moderna and just got my third (or fourth...I lost count) booster last week. This one was the first to barely bother me. I just got a little tired. The previous ones though were full beasts that knocked me out for 24 to 36 hours.
EDIT: From what I've read, Moderna's latest booster is supposed to be effective against the two strains rampaging about this year. Pfizer can only confirm efficacy against one.
Pfizer's previous version was original+b.1, and their current is original+b4+b5.

Yes, my first vaccine was Pfizer and second was Moderna, which caused heart issues. I went to a heart specialist and was diagnosed with pericarditis from the vaccine. It took awhile for symptoms to improve (pain, shortness of breath etc.). I feel lucky though.
An unusual amount of people had severe symptoms in our area after the Moderna vaccine. Healthy people in their 30s for the most part. Our electrician had a heart attack and a few people died. Needless to say I didn’t go for a third. We know a guy who technically died from it, but he was revived - they got his heart going.
This was the reason I didn't get vaccinated. I already have myocarditis, and someone I know had the same and his condition was made noticeably worse after.
I'd rather take my chances with Covid.
Good thing you're not in charge of anything..
Yes!!! It's a great vaccine, I'll keep supporting our great pharmaceutical companies and happily inject myself with anything they produce. They have a great track record. Fuck those antivaxxers, they don't know what's good for them.
