It’s normal to experience more side effects after the second shot.
According to health experts, experiencing side effects after the second shot is more common, so there’s no need to worry if they’re stronger the second time. As data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed, people in both Pfizer and Moderna vaccine trials have experienced more side effects after the second dose, compared to the first one where they experienced mild side effects.
As Robin Trotman, MD, and CoxHealth’s infectious disease doctor explained in an interview with K3, experiencing side effects after the second vaccine dose is normal because that’s the dose that’s making the vaccine fully effective against COVID-19 infections.

What about those of us who have had serious allergic reactions to other medications. In my case it was the Salk vaccine when I was 11 years old and I went into anaphalatic shock which resulted in giant hives the size of baseballs (both inside and outside) and cut off my ability to breath at one point. Then about 10 years after that there was a serious flu going around and we were told to take the vaccine shot for that. Again, a serious reaction. The doctor told me to never take penicillin. Also, my blood type is O positive. But the government wants all people to have the Covid vaccine and get ID cards which they will use to allow your coming and going on planes or other transportation – some say it may be necessary to show it when going to restaurants or shows. #1 why has no one told people like myself dangerous for those with high allergy reactions prior to just giving them a shot at Walmart’s or some other place without a doctor available. #2 If we cannot have the vaccine will they issue passes or are we to be locked up in our homes for years to come.
