I remember when there was at least a 2 month wait from one vaccine to the next, but that was quite a while back.

Through clinical testing and the like, I suspect It's provided a more accurate figure - which currently stands at 4 weeks.

Likewise, I can't wait for the second shot.

The only thing I experienced with the first, was a sore arm for a couple of days. I'm not sure If the second Pfizer produces more side effects, but In any case, It's well worth It.

^ This.

A couple of work friends who're a lot younger than me, had the first shot and they experienced nausea, fever and chills. Mine was only a sore arm.

It doesn't necessarily seem genetics driven how you respond so far as I can tell. A lot of close blood relatives seem to have wildly different responses to the same vaccine. I wonder if it has any link to how you'd have responded to the real vaccine

I don't believe definitive side effects exist.

It's like catching the flu - some people only have a runny nose and sore throat, while others are bedridden for days.
