I was done last Friday. I was OK until after dinner but then quickly got very tired, joint pain, headache and chills with shaking. Off to bed with pain relief which allowed a broken sleep. I was pretty lethargic on Saturday but much better on Sunday, though with a couple of brief relapses into shakes, and then fine from Monday. I wouldn't do it for fun but it wasn't a big drama.
One thought I had afterwards is that it may not have been the best idea for me and my wife to get done on the same day. Logistically it made sense but if one had had a severe reaction the other one wasn't in a state to provide much help - or they would have knocked themselves about while trying.
Interesting that some people have been told you can get a reaction to the second shot. I've heard the opposite and so I am hoping that the second shot is plain sailing. The silver lining to getting symptoms is that at least you know that your immune system is operating.
