We received our Covid shot about 4 PM on Friday, January 29. Neither of us felt bad right after the shot, so we drove home and proceeded to go about our business. As directed, we continued to move our left arms regularly while drinking lots of water. Yesterday morning, my arm felt like it had been hit with a large hammer, while the other DrC's arm felt like it had been slapped hard. All day long we felt well. As the day progressed I could move my left arm above my head without pain, By 11 PM we both had muscles aches in our hands, shoulders and back. We took our temperatures and they were normal. Based on the normal temperature, we thought we were getting a reaction to the shot. This morning, we both woke up with achy hands, the other aches had gone away. Both of us could raise our left arms above our head without pain.
Individual reactions will vary. What I've written above can be used as a "yardstick" to measure your reactions to the vaccine when you receive it. We are now playing a waiting game for shot #2.
