Oooof. Was great for the first 20 hours. So vaccine Wednesday at 1pm and fine the rest of the day. Felt pretty good when I woke up, good enough even to go into the office. That devolved into kind of a foggy, groggy afternoon, which by the evening, turned into an achy 101F temp. I had read that ibuprofen (my go to) isn’t the best solution for this, since the immune response is, an inflammatory response, so to take an anti-inflammatory is to potentially lessen the immune response. In my foggy brain, it took a while to realize we don’t have any Acetaminophen in the house, so a quick trip to the drug store got us sorted out. Felt meh until I went to sleep. Woke up Friday morning and I could tell I had sweat all night, but I felt about 95%. By Friday night I felt 100% but tired.

All in all - nothing terrible. Just foggy brain, followed by a fever and chills. But I’d take it every year if it means not catching Covid. 10/10 would recommend, and also would recommend just planning to chill the second day.
