I’ve read about all the negative reaction to this but I’ve had no symptoms at all

A little sore on shot site. I had no other side effects at all. If it keeps me from getting pneumonia. I have had pneumonia every year since 2020. I took a 10 year shot in 2010. I did not have pneumonia for 10 years. I really hope this works, as well.

Worst side effects ever. Worse than Covid shots. 102 temp chills. Now 101 temp and swollen glands with a cough. It’s been 4 days. I’m done with this shot. Just be aware. Nobody tells you what the side effects are. Pain at the injection site is the least of my concerns.

62 year old female, overweight, overall l health good. The pain I have experienced was the needle in my arm. A slight headache which last no longer than 3 hours and was managed with one dose of Tylenol. Slight nausea only after eating which lasted 6-7 hours. NO joint pain, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, sore throat, swelling or itching. The injection site was not sore nor red. In my opinion my side effects were insignificant. I would recommend this product.

I'm willing to tolerate the side effects of the Prevnar 20 vaccination because I've had Pneumonia times in my life starting at a young age. I had my Prevnar 20 vaccination 3 days ago. By far the worst side effect has been the stomach cramping and churning feeling and the persistent diarrhea which has been up to 7 times in an hour. I have fatigue which started 24 hours after receiving the vaccination. I'm having nausea in the morning which dissipates after eating a meal. I am still experiencing some soreness at the injection site, but only when I press on it with my hand. I'm hoping this all dissipates soon, especially the diarrhea!!!Read More Read Less

My doctor told me I had to have this vaccine because I was 65 and it was required then walked out the door before I could ask anything. When the nurse came in, I asked what was in it; she said it's just a pneumonia vaccine, nothing else. There were no side effects. I asked if it was the same that I had twenty years ago and she said yes. Did not give me a name. It's been 4 1/2 months now and my arm still aches, I have headaches, dizziness, nausea and chest pain, not to mention the rash over my torso in the front and back. First the nurse lied to me the vaccine is not the same as I had 20 years ago (with no side effects) AND this one was made by Pfizer. I don't even trust that company any more. I can't believe I trusted my doctor. I am so angry because I feel terrible most every day. I keep waiting for the side effects to stop and have been trying to do a liver cleanse since. DON'T take this shot! Do your own research and don't trust anyone in the medical industry any more. I believe they are truly trying to shorten our lifespan. I am so sorry I let them give me this.Read More Read Less

Well it's bend over 6 months and I have pain at the injection site 24/7. I also have headaches every day and severe pain when I move my arm. I have had xrays ct scan and Mri. What I have learned is that FDA approved this drug on a confirmatory bases (not enough testing on this drug) so are we the lab rats? This can last for 6 months to 3 years in the best case scenario or you will have it the rest of your life. Pfizer made it just for us!!

It has been a month since being vaccinated with Prevnar 20T, my arm is still sore and there is about a 1 inch ring at the injection site. I cannot sleep on my right side because of the pain.

Pfizer's Prevnar 20 vaccine. After 10 days ago, the muscles in my entire arm are so sore I cannot bend my elbow or grasp a pencil without pain. And it's only gotten worse, not better. I've also developed a rash on the inside of my elbow. My doctor said the vaccine was 90% effective, when it’s closer to 50%. If you care about your health, do your own research. Do not rely on doctors just because they're doctors.

The nurse actually said there would be no side effects with Pfizer's Prevnar 20 vaccine. An irresponsible statement from a nurse & NOT TRUE. It's been 10 days ago & the muscles in that entire arm are still extremely sore. And it's only gotten worse, not better. Not just at the injection site, but in my elbow & hands. I cannot even hold a fork or bend my elbow without pain. Nowadays, vaccines are pushed like candy. Yet doctors fail to inform patients about the risks or effectiveness of the vaccine.

I had the Prevnar 20 vaccination. I have suffered alot for 4 days. Chills, severe body aches, vomiting for 1 and 1/2 days. Diarrhea. Dehydration. Lethargy. Loss of taste. Dizziness. I feel a bit better now, but not myself quite yet. I am relieved to be protected, but never, ever imagined going through such horrific days!!!! I couldn't do a thing, which is so unlike me.
