Thanks for the feel-good wishes, @MissySki / @newboots / @ilovepugs / anyone I missed!
I just started feeling a ton better about 90 minutes ago... pretty much 48 hours exactly after the 2nd dose. That, and my boss had me put down "full hours" for this week despite missing half a day for the shot and half a day for the after-symptoms. Yay!

My second dose is tomorrow too. Fingers crossed!

Here's a pretty good summary of the incidence of side effects. Pretty clear that gender and age are factors that make a difference. Although for self-reported side effects for people who weren't in a clinical trials there is probably a reporting bias by gender.

I got the first in mid Mar and completed with the second early this week — got moderna. Definitely took us out for a couple days with chills and aches. Yeah the arm took a beating which was hurting for sure. Looking forward when they make it ok for kids under 12...! And I’ll get to see the family which will be nice.

Done about an hour ago - so far so good!
They also gave us a flyer that Utah now has an official app to track your vaccines so we don't have to worry about losing/damaging/carrying around a vaccine card.
I got that flyer here, and decided that for some reason, that was too much police state for me.
We all have different boundaries?
I did take a pic of my card.
Because you know... I’m basically off the grid with my iPhone and my cloud storage.

That’s awesome! When I went I was told to take a picture of my card to have on my phone and a photocopy to keep in my purse. Then to keep the card somewhere safe like with a passport. No laminating in case they need to fill out more for boosters..
I followed these instructions, but I’d personally rather just be able to pull it up electronically as needed in some official way.

The state of Montana has a place you can logon to order something or that healthcare can look at. But near as I can tell there's no place I can logon and look online. But then, it's a state refusing to provide vaccine passports, etc. I don't know how we'll travel. I doubt they'll be accepting these cards. I've got mine in a plastic sleeve and a picture, but it seems so easily forged.
DH went ahead and got his card laminated right after his 2nd shot. I had read that you may want to not do that due to booster shots, but couldn't find any official guidance one way or the other and figured they'd come up with a more official system by the time we're ready for a booster. I don't know where I'll need to show it and don't need to travel anytime soon, so I just stuck it in my passport. Honestly, if you laminate it and can't record the booster on the same card, I'm sure they'll just give you a second one. There are companies doing the vaccine card lamination for free here, so I'm sure there will be a lot of people needing that.
So far I'm not really feeling much - some really intermittent muscle/body aches and I was a little bit tired/brain foggy yesterday, but nothing that interfered with my big plans of spending my afternoon/evening watching Netflix.... (I got outside for several hours in the morning before my vaccine and figured I'd just chill afterwards.) My arm is a tiny bit sore but not bad at all.

I didn't get a card, but a full page "receipt" that I'd had the first shot. All the info was on it. I kept the digital images on my computer and phone so I have them.
There has been talk about a vaccine "passport". I don't have a problem with that. We had them back in the 70's in order to travel aboard. You had to show you'd had shots to get into some countries. And where we went you wanted a cholera shot!!
