22. I never had side effects from any vaccination before this Moderna vaccine

It feels like someone beat the hell out of my left arm. Not complaining though. I'm glad to have the vaccination. It doesn't feel good at the moment, but I'm expecting to be back to normal in a couple days. I think my youngest kid is not going to like the vaccination. He doesn't like getting shots to begin with. He's probably going to complain a lot about the arm pain, but maybe he'll get lucky and it won't be as bad for him. He will have to get the Pfizer shot and it seems like there are less complaints about pain with Pfizer than Moderna.
