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.

First shot of Pfizer gave me a sore arm, and I slept about 36 of the next 48 hours. Didn't feel anything after the second shot except minor tenderness in the arm (which was easily solved by not touching it). Everyone's different, so you might feel like crap or you may feel nothing.
