My first shot a few days ago, Moderna, just slightly sore upper arm...My 95 year old dad not even have that mild side effect. He gets his 2nd dose tomorrow...
side effects been worse after 2nd dose, and worse in younger folks, ...my half brother (school principal) and half sister (teacher) in their 40s, got pretty darn sick and in bed after 2nd dose, half bro?s wife (a teacher) even fainted....

Most of my colleagues got Pfizer. I got Moderna. After the second shots, most of us had terrible body aches or headaches. I still went to work the day after my second shot even though I felt like shit. It was not one of my better days.
If at all possible, get your second shot on a "Friday" so that you can rest the next day.
Wow! I feel fortunate. Very mild soreness at the injection area. My 82 YO FIL didn't even get a sore arm.
