Neither my husband or I ever tested for Covid but we think we had it. He was traveling the end of January/beginning of February 2020. When he got home he commented on how there were a lot of people traveling wearing masks. Few days later he had symptoms of Covid and lost his sense of taste and smell. There were no tests for Covid back then. So maybe that explains his response to the Moderna vaccine.I had Covid. Similar reactions after both doses of Moderna. Fever started about 12 hours after the vaccine was administered and lasted 6-8 hours or so. Had a small bout of chills as well.
My girlfriend also had Covid and received her first dose of Pfizer a few days ago. Her sinuses flared up and she got extremely tired but no fever or chills. As SUFaninNJ said, it’s possible the reactions between Moderna and Pfizer differ.
