My wife had her 2nd Pfizer vaccination about a month ago and got much the same result - 1st shot, nothing, 2nd shot, shivery, flue like symptoms for about a day and a half. My daughter had her 1st Pfizer in mid Dec and her second in early Jan. She had no side effects from either so it obviously varies. Both of them are front line medics.
I had my 1st AstraZeneca about three weeks ago and felt terrible the next day - for about 24hrs. I've had that before with the seasonal flu jab so I wasn't surprised. None of the symptoms last long and a couple of paracetamol + a night's sleep sorts it out.
Two of our extended family have had Covid - neither had to go to hospital but one of them got long Covid and was off work for a month. Even three months later she's still not quite right.
