For COVID-19 "I received my first Moderna vaccine 2 days ago. I’m a healthy, 39-year-old woman. I walked into my appointment feeling good and left feeling unwell. 10 minutes after the shot, I felt heart palpitations for only a few seconds, then they went away. Negative side effects I've felt so far: dizziness, disorientation, lethargy, muscle pain, joint pain, nausea. Generally, I feel unwell and regret getting vaccinated."

For COVID-19 "Yesterday, my wife and I had our Moderna COVID jab. This being the 4th one (October 2022). My wife is 65, and I am 71, in general good health. We had not had Moderna previously. Within two hours, my wife started feeling unwell with tiredness, chills, mild aches, and pains. She went to bed. I was fine and had no effects until I woke two hours ago at 3 a.m. with severe joint pain and a headache. My wife also woke with worsening aches and pains. We both took paracetamol and hope that the symptoms improve."

For COVID-19 "I had this as a booster in Nov 2021 after having had AstraZeneca 1 and 2. AZ was fine. After Moderna, I was ill overnight and very tired the next week or so, aching joints, etc. My sense of taste was severely impacted and has not fully recovered 10 months later, and I get periods when I suddenly have no energy at all. I caught COVID in August 2022, which wasn't bad at all, but the week after I was negative was bad... exactly the same symptoms as post Moderna - tired, aching joints, etc. Sense of taste didn't get any worse."
