I think one shot is enough. I got two modernas and I’ve had side effects that have persisted.

Would you care to share what the side effects which persist were? I had COVID and my side effects (lack of concentration and having the short term memory of a gold fish) lasted 4 months+. My sense of smell is this’ll not back almost 6 months now.

  Nothing like that. Just weird tingles and numbness, headache and what I’d call a left side chest ache. Doc says it’ll resolve in 4-6 weeks. I know people with swollen lymph nodes, arm pain and joint pain. So less severe than covid for sure I guess... just weird. I was fine after the first shot. It was the second one that appears to be correlated. I think these are normal but nobody is discussing them.

    Yes, I know another person who had severe lymph node swelling, it lasted a few weeks after the first shot, and then returned for a few days after the second.

    Were you informed on how to report your side effects to the CDC's official database VAERS?

    > I was fine after the first shot You were also not that well protected (though one could argue well enough for a start).

    It is normal for booster shots to have more side effects.

Did you get your antibody levels tested? What data points support “one shot is enough”?
- sjg007 6y ago
  No, just my annoyance with the second dose side effects. But I might be a hypochondriac. They are probably minor in the grand scheme of things but I think are real and noticeable. I’d still get the 2nd shot just maybe in the other arm.

    To be crystal clear here, you said that one vaccine shot is enough to keep people safe and healthy because the second one made your arm sore?

    The same goes with Pfizer, many people have said the same thing that the second shot was hash on them, one colleague said he had to stay in bed on the second say. I wonder did developers of these vaccine pushed for higher dose in trial for a better chance of success. I am yet to receive the second dose, slightly worried.
