MAC and getting the COVID vaccine

Hi All,

Newbie here. 🙂

I am wondering if there is something I can do to counteract nausea and vomiting from the Moderna 1st and 2nd shots? I just got my first shot today. Mostly just my arm hurts and I feel a little dizzy but it's not horrible. But nausea and vomiting (which everyone gets from time to time) completely freak me out.

Just trying to be prepared, since I am prone to getting side effects like these. Staying calm. LOL!

@lmcoff My doctor recommended rest, staying hydrated, and taking Tylenol or Advil. Remember - the side effects which may be brutal for some are better than the actual disease! @ irene5

@imcoff Hi Lynn, are you sure your nausea and vomiting were from the vaccine shot? None of the people I know who have received Moderna vaccine has mentioned your symptoms. Fatigue, yes, chills, yes, the most serious may be low fever for a number of hours. But that is all I have heard.

Gin-gin candies, ginger tea, or ginger ale. My daughter had a bad enough reaction (nausea) to her second dose that they had to give her compazine (she had Covid last April, so she had a huge reaction to both doses.)

I just had my second Moderna shot yesterday. Not nauseous at all. My arm hurts, and I had a bad headache last night. That seems to be it so far
