Free text: On Friday evening the day I received the shot, I had the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. After about 10 minutes of having the vaccine, I began to have some usual symptoms. My vision became blurred and I started having pain in different areas of my body. I was told to stay for 30 minutes. My vision improved and I went home. I continued to have intermittent discomfort in different areas. Two hours after the vaccine was given, I became very fatigue. I feel asleep on the couch. A hour or more went by and a family member tried to wake me up to go upstairs to lay down. I got up, but had trouble standing and walking. I was extremely exhausted. I was helped upstairs and went back to sleep. My family informed me I didn't look quite like myself. They became worried and decided keep checking on me all night. I was told that each time they came to check on me, we had a conversation and I was complaining of pain. I also had a swelling in my arm and back. They gave me Tylenol and applied ice. After some time, the ice was removed, then ice this was reapplied. I also continued to complain of pain. I slept for 10 hours straight. When I woke up I was extremely exhausted. I did have some mild swelling and pain in my back, left arm, and one side of my face. I also had very little energy. I have no memory of the conversations I had with my family member each time they checked on me. I don't remember the ice being applied and remove and this being repeated. As the day progressed, I slowly began to feel a little better. I felt extremely exhausted all day on Saturday. It really wasn't until Sunday that I felt normal.

Each entry is dated by the survey it was written in (the CDC re-sent the releases with survey dates in 2025); click a date to see that survey response. The CDC cut some text off at about 250 characters: symptoms in every release, and the other two fields in releases 9-12. Those entries are marked "cut off by CDC".
