So it has now been a full 48 hours since I got my first dose of the covid vaccine (moderna)
The arm I received the shot in is feeling much better today! Still a little, tiny bit odd feeling when I, for example, lift it above my head? But really only like an extremely minor discomfort as if I'd exercised a bit too much the day prior.
Have not had any other reactions/side effects, including anything stomach related and I have continued to eat as I normally would.
I have specifically avoided alcohol during this time (I always do before and after getting any vaccine, just as a personal preference to be careful) and I probably will for at least a week but this was not something that was advised to me by any medical personnel when I was vaccinated.
Again, this was just my first dose of the vaccine (moderna). I will update again if anything should crop up. Otherwise, I will update again once I have gotten the second dose just to share how that goes!
