My wife recently got her second dose of Moderna...got the chills and fatigued the next day...it passed...I hear that folks are having more reactions to the second dose than the first...she didn't have any real reaction to the first dose...

I'm getting my first dose next week...been a real struggle getting an appointment,
 
I got my second dose on the 12th. No bad reactions. A little sore at the injection site for a couple days, that's all. My wife got her second on the 15th. She had a reaction. Neck muscles started swelling and restricting her breathing. They gave her an Epi-pen shot in the leg. That took effect and she was okay after that.

So she didn't have a reaction on first dose, but did on the second? Dang, I was thinking if no reaction on first, there wouldn't be a reaction on the second. Guess I'll be nervous all over again getting my second. Glad your wife was ok!
 
Glad your wife is ok.
Anaphylaxis rarely occurs after a single exposure. Is the 2nd, 10th or 100th time you are stung/take the med/eat the food that it gets you. Is because the body develops antibodies after the initial or a subsequent exposure and wrongly tells the immune system that it must ATTACK.
 
She did have a very mild reaction on the first dose, yes. She felt some slight swelling on the drive home and it lasted about half an hour but was not at all severe. So for that reason, at the second appt, she informed them and they made her go to the 30 minute waiting area. After about 20 minutes she started getting the bad reaction.

COVID-19 pill effective in preliminary testing may be 'holy grail' of pandemic, doctor says​

NEW YORK - A new possible medication to treat coronavirus-positive patients could be enough to turn the pandemic on its head, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel revealed Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

First-stage testing of the experimental COVID-19 pill called Molnupiravir, by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics, showed promising signs of effectiveness in reducing the virus in patients.

"It may be the holy grail on this because it was just studied in phase two trials and it literally stopped the virus in its tracks," he explained. "And there wasn't any virus found in the patients that were studied."

The drug would function as an at-home, five-day treatment, similar to Tamiflu, to stop the virus from reproducing before causing major damage. Siegel said the therapeutic could come to market in as little as four to five months.

The doctor said even though only 182 patients were studied during testing so far, the pill could still be "very promising" for thousands of people.

"This might be the future once the vaccine really gets control over the pandemic and we just start seeing isolated cases," he said. "By then, this drug might be ready and this might be the drug for over the next several months."

Siegel predicted the U.S. will be free of the coronavirus pandemic by the summer, making the Molnupiravir treatment "very helpful" for managing isolated cases.

"This is the very first pill that we have thatā€™s something that we might be able to use in our armamentarium against COVID as a therapeutic," he said.
 
Here's my second vaccine shot experience. I got the shot somewhere around 2pm Saturday, by 6pm I had a headache and was extremely tired. Woke up today and don't have a headache, but tired and feel kinda sickly and it's lasted all day. It's mild, but still sucks and hope it's gone tomorrow.

That's how I felt for at least a month from COVID. Plus chills and body aches. Just was horribly sleepy. Hope it works for you and you don't get the real virus.

I felt the same way after my second shot and it cleared in about 30 hours . You should bounce back pretty quickly.
