I recently got my first dose of the Spikevax (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine for the 2023-24 cycle.

I didn't have any severe side effects, just a bit of soreness at the injection site and a slight headache. I’ve heard rumors about the side effects, but I feel fine.

Has anyone experienced any severe side effects and any changes in eyesight or hearing? I hope to hear from others about their experience with this vaccine.
