A very good thread on how the mRNA vaccines work and why you may feel sick after receiving it. I have to reiterate what I feel is the biggest point here - YOU CANNOT GET COVID FROM THE VACCINE!! It is impossible!! https://twitter.com/WheatNOil/status/1339624815137722368
Very important detail because the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines both require 2 doses for full efficacy. If you have an immune response after the first dose (fever, aches, fatigue, etc), do not let it scare you away from getting the 2nd dose. That's normal immune response.
Which does not mean if you don't have any of those things after either dose you're not building immunity, it's just how different immune systems handle it. Some people get fever after the flu shot, most don't, but the vaccine still works. Our bodies are weird and magical. 🤷‍♀️
