So now that my whole family is vaccinated using the Pfizer vaccine, I thought it might be nice to report on our side effects! Can you find the common denominator?
Me, 30
vaccinated 22 Dec
22 Dec- minor flashes of pain at injection site
23 Dec- injection site pain when punched lightly in the arm by Dad who forgot which arm I got the shot in, some joint stiffness that’s proooobably more likely related to falling asleep in a stupid position and honestly it’s so minor that it barely counts
24 Dec- redness at injection site, no swelling, no longer tender to touch- redness possibly from ripping off band-aid.
