With the first dose it took a week before the Covid arm developed. Wasn't itchy, just red and it felt bruised and slightly sunburned. This time it developed two days after the shot. But each day it's less red, the first time it took two weeks to go away.

I had Moderna. The first time it was just my arm. The second dose was different. I got my shot on Wednesday. On Thursday I wasn't well, in the early afternoon I got really dizzy and spend most of the afternoon in bed. On Friday I felt much better, just a weird headache and I was really tired.
But IMHO it's worth it.
