Life with Kelso

Shots anyone? No, I don’t mean some yummy alcoholic shots – no I’m talking about the Covid-19 vaccine shots.

Not sure if you’re getting yours or not, and I’m not here to convince you to get it or not to get it. I’m simply here to tell you how I reacted to the vaccine I received.

I received the Moderna vaccine in December last year (2020). If you’re not familiar, Moderna is a two dose series. I got my first dose and about a few hours later my arm became sore – similar to getting the flu shot. My arm was sore for about three days and tender to the touch at the injection site. That’s it.

I got my second dose 28 days later. I received my second dose in the same arm as my first and about 3 hours after my second dose my arm became sore. The following day I had the chills all day, and was really fatigued. I went to bed at 7pm that night and woke up the next day feeling brand new!

Everyone will react to the vaccine differently. Again, not here to tell you yes you should get it or no you shouldn’t because of A, B, and C. To each their own.

Life is just so crazy right now with everything that is going on in the world. So stay safe, healthy and protected (if you choose or not choose to be)!
