Here’s why your second coronavirus vaccine dose might have more of a kick to it

[Andy Meek]

• A growing number of reports have shared how people are feeling side effects more intensely following the second dose of their coronavirus vaccine.
• Many COVID-19 vaccine recipients say those side effects include things like fever, headaches, and pain at the injection site.
• Here's why the side effects can be more intense with the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and why you shouldn't worry.

By now, you might have seen a growing number of reports about how the side effects that people are experiencing with their second coronavirus vaccine jab have felt more intense than those from the first shot. Indeed, both Moderna and Pfizer acknowledged in their documentation they each submitted to the FDA that there was a marked difference in the side effects that volunteers experienced when receiving both doses of each drugmaker's two-shot vaccine. Take Moderna's statement about this: "Grace 3 solicited local adverse reactions were more frequently reported after Dose 2 than Dose 1."

Those Grade 3 reactions can include things like swelling, pain, body aches, and fever. Bloomberg's vaccine tracker shows that, as of the time of this writing, 36.7 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered in the US -- so at least millions of people are proceeding ahead, not letting concern about possible side effects deter them from getting vaccinated. Still, the reports about stronger side effects associated with the second COVID shot might give some people pause, so what do you need to know about why that's the case? Should you be worried? Read on for the details.
