Summary
A Reddit user with post-infection symptoms — mental fogginess, fatigue and chest tightness — reported in February 2021 that a first shot caused a few days of hot and cold flashes, nausea, a runny nose and teary eyes, while a second shot caused very little. After the two shots, the fogginess, fatigue and chest tightness they had before the first shot were gone.
