Everyone is posting negative stuff, I've had 4 Moderna shots with nothing more than a slightly shore shoulder for 24 hours maybe,. Pretty sure this is the norm.

Same. First shot of Moderna I got chills on the first night and shoulder pain (similar to getting a flu shot). 2nd shot, my lymph node on my arm (injection side) swelled up (which is to be expected) and body aches (which is something I sometimes get from flu shots in the past). I've had the 2nd booster and the Moderna bivalent booster recently and the side effects not as bad anymore (I feel it more compared to the flu shots, but they last for at least a day).

The harder the expected vaccine side effects hit you means it's actually working.

Moderna is also twice the dosage as Pfizer's vaccine and their effectiveness last longer than Pfizer.

See table 12 here. Among people age 18-64 getting a second dose of Moderna, 17% reported a fever (possibly biased downwards by people not taking temperature), over 60% reported headache, fatigue, and myalgia, and nearly 48% reported chills. This is significantly higher than for people over age 65 or for people age 18-64 getting the first dose.
