Thank you Robert. I do feel better this morning. I did get fair warning from my Doctor that I would likely have a problem. They are finding that people who have an intolerance to vitamin shots are at a greater risk of having a reaction for 24-48 hours. I have to have B12 weekly injections, each time with a reaction. A necessary evil.

Be sure to drink a good share of water. You'll be fine.

Each of our bodies uniquely responds. Some have a tougher go of it than others. I remember thinking that couples perhaps should not get their 2nd shot at the same time so they could be there to support one another in they event they both react as I did. I was alone and had not the energy to properly take care of myself. I had prepared in advance but my loss of energy was greater than anticipated.

My advice, from experience, don't make any plans for tomorrow! Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Have someone check on you 24 hours & 30 hours after receiving the shot. ЁЯШШ

Sending best wishes that you & your wife fare better than I did. The 2nd 24 hours was the toughest but it took me about 3 days to fully recover. My solace was in knowing my body was indicating the vaccine was working!

Yes, I spent the next day after my second Moderna dose with a fever, strangely not debilitating as if I had a real virus - I was able to eat & had good appetite, but lethargic & feverish about 100 degrees F.
