    Don't know.  

    I have backaches and hip pain before the vaccination. I don't feel any worse 13 hours later. Just injection site tenderness. 

     I took an nsaid pain pill 2 hours before the injection and just now 13 hours later.

    I just read that body aches are normal fever nausea diarrhea I don't remember sore throat but It is one of the symptoms of covid. So I am sure it was there. Look it up on the CDC website to be sure. But all the others are side effects. I am afraid to take one as I have bad reactions to vaccines. I hope you feel better soon.

    Unfortunately, yes. I had terrible body aches for the several days. It just means your immune system is reacting, building up antibodies to combat the virus. You'll get over it.

    Some people have that reaction after the first shot; some after the second. It's perfectly normal. It just mean the vaccine is working.
