Clinical narrative: Within a few hours of receiving my first COVID Moderna vaccine on 2/12/21, I became very sick with a fever around 101 and severe muscle aches. Overnight, I woke up with numbness down the whole left side of my body and I was unable to move my left leg for several minutes. The pain from the injection site radiated from my right arm to my neck, back, shoulders, and to my fingertips. The next day I continued to feel very sick especially with moderate/severe joint pain. I then completed my second dose of the vaccine on 3/29/21. Again within hours I became very sick, and by around midnight I was crying in pain from the severe joint pain. It felt like shooting pains down both arms and both legs that went on constantly for about two miserable days. I could hardly eat or drink anything and was vomiting, having chills/fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, etc. I would describe the experience as moderate to severe symptoms as I was close to going to the hospital but knew I couldn't even drive myself in that state. It was definitely sicker than I have ever been from the cold, flu, or any other illness. I am a 28 year old healthy and physically fit female aside from this experience. For both shots, it took about 48 hours to recover. Once I had a fever both times (within hours) I began taking Tylenol which only slightly took the edge off but still did not make me comfortable or able to go to work.
