My husband had his first dose of the Moderna vaccine 3 days ago and has had absolutely no discomfort of any sort. I'm so sorry for those of you who are having pain afterward -- I just wanted others to know that this after effect isn't universal.

My pediatrician sister said she's had parents ask her to do their child's vaccines instead of her nurse, and she responds with, "Trust me, you want the nurse. She does this all the time and I don't."

At my university, nursing students administer vaccines during the flu clinic each fall and they do a great job. The best vaccine I ever got (didn't feel anything at all, not a poke) was from a nursing professor who stepped in to help when the line got really long once.
