When Freedom Baird received her first dose of the Moderna vaccine in February, she wasn’t sure what kind of side effects to expect.

Freedom Baird is very ill with Covid-19 – she has had persistent shortness of breath and chest pain for about a year.

Many people who have been people who have already been infected develop more side effects in response to the first dose of vaccine than to the second. The average person usually feels more tired after the second injection.

Freedom Baird’s age complicated her expectations: she is 56, and clinical trials have shown that people over 55 often develop fewer vaccine-related side effects. In fact, she didn’t feel much of anything. “The first day, you feel sore and flugy,” she told Insider.

While doctors can’t predict exactly how a person will react to a coronavirus vaccine, they have identified some patterns based on age, gender, health status, and dose received. Clinical trials suggest that side effects are generally more pronounced in women and young adults, especially after the second dose.
