Well, I guess being in lockdown is the perfect opportunity for you to sit tight for another 2 weeks or so.
You're in Vic yeah? Proably expect the lockdown to get exgended by anotherr 5- days and we'll be out again I hope.

Yeah I live in Melbourne. Today's case numbers are promising; only 11 cases in the state and all people who were already isolating. We should be on track to open up soon barring any leaks.

Well, 24 hours after Pfizer #2 my only side effect is a sore arm.
I feel a bit tired too but I'm unsure if that's the vaccine or just stress.
All that said, I'd have been fine with feeling sick as a dog in exchange for the protection vaccination offers.
No longer having to worry about getting seriously sick or dying is a dream come true after 18 months of anxiety and OCD trashing my mental health.

Been around 48hours for me.... so we basically got your 2nd dosses around the same time.
First jab, I was really sore in the arm. I barely felt the needle go in (good job, old nurse lady (she was even cross eyed) lol).
2nd jab, it hurt abit more (young beauty of a nurse, wasn't great with the needle), but overall I wasnt as sore from it.
I remember the first jab, I was abit tired the day after too.
Not much, but like, a tiny bit more than normal late into the day.
(which frekking sucks, when your arm is sore, and your used to sleeping on your sides, toss and turning, only to remember arm hurts = bad for sleep)
(a day or two with bad sleep is whatever though)
2nd shot, was def. the better experiance (for me atleast).
which is odd, because I kept hearing stories about how it was normally the other way around.

^ so much this.
You feel safer outsides too.
Ei. not as worried about catching covid anymore, and without a doubt, thats good for mental health.

Just ticked over 48 hours for me too; my sore arm and tiredness are now gone and I feel completely normal.
Both jabs gave me a sore arm for about 24 hours, but the first had no other effects on me at all whereas now that I feel normal again I can tell that I was generally a bit little worn out yesterday by comparison. Nothing too bad though, I was expecting more of a kick from it after so many friends an family told me that the second dose hits like a truck.
I guess everyone's body just reacts differently. A lot of people reckon the flu shot makes them feel crummy but it's never affected me, apart from the fact I have never had the flu haha.
