Got my second shot on Thursday. Arm hurt about the same degree and length as the first shot. Had a few mild ~flu symptoms this time, but quickly got over them. Mom's now a couple weeks from her second shot as well. Another month and I should really be able to breathe easy again.

Curiosity since I'm getting my second (Pfizer) shot a week from Friday: How long did the flu-like symptoms last? I keep hearing about those resulting from the second shot. Also, did they give you your second shot in the same place on your arm as the first? I ask the second question because here nine days after my first shot, I can still feel some very mild soreness on the muscle that took the first shot and that makes me a little concerned about how getting a second shot in the same muscle might affect it.

My symptoms lasted for 2-3 days. Same shoulder. If that's a concern maybe just ask them to inject your other arm next time.
