I had my second dose of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine last week and the side effects were terrible. I was sick most of the night Tuesday night and all day on Wednesday with a high fever, body aches, severe fatigue and nausea.

I still recommend getting a COVID-19 vaccine, if only to prevent passing the disease on to a vulnerable person. Everyone reacts differently to it and many have mild side effects - just soreness at the injection site. I just had a more severe reaction to the second shot.
