I took both Pfizer shots and felt fine afterwards. The vaccine is kinda a unknown but I definitely don’t want to get Covid and end up with long term symptoms of that on top of already having lupus.

I’ve had both shots of Moderna. Only had a headache the day after the last shot.

I'm not getting vaccine, some of reasons why, i always get sick after flu shot, when i don't i get the vaccine i don't get sick! And Covid was man made so why should i trust the vaccine, that is man made! People are getting Covid from vaccine & other health issues. Goodluck making your decision do what's good for you!

I’ve had both Pfizer’s during a flare and had minimal symptoms. Note: steroids like prednisone can block the efficacy of the vaccination so try to have them out of your system beforehand. That was one of the hardest parts for me.
