Everyone that I have spoken to has said that their arm was slightly sore. Is a larger needle being used to administer the vaccine?
Hope your arm is better soon.

No, I don't think so. It didn't hurt at all at first. Just gradually got a little sore - probably as the immune reaction begins. Not really different from a flu shot. I do think the nurse made an extra effort to make sure it went into the muscle (which it should) - she gave it a little higher up where the fat layer over the muscle is thinner.
Unfortunately all my coworkers are having viral reactions to the second dose. Fever, chills and headaches. They hit 12 hours later but didn’t last too long. My second dose is next Tuesday. I’m bracing myself .
Yay! Was able to schedule my second dose on a Thursday afternoon (I don't see patients on Fridays) giving me plenty of recovery time just in case. (I'm not prone to vaccine reactions in general though and have no history of allergic reactions at all so I'm not overly concerned).
My mother got her shot yesterday and said she didn't feel a thing. She goes back in 3 weeks at gets her second shot.
I'm so glad you are doing well and getting your second dose Thursday. Stay safe.

Not this Thursday - next month on a Thursday. It's 4 weeks between Moderna shots.
I tell you, I follow a group on FB of Long Covid patients because I had a couple patients early on with bad Long Covid. If people could read what these poor folk are going through, they'd be eager to get the vaccine.
(It's not well understood and there's no real treatment, but I would say the thing that has seemed to help the most people in the Long Covid group is a low histamine diet and taking both an H1 and an H2 blocker. Also taking it slow and not pushing too hard with physical activity. Alcohol and sugar seems to really set them back. )
