The shots side effects – soreness, tenderness and redness at the injection site and body aches, headaches, fatigue and sometimes fever – typically are nothing to worry about and go away in 24 to 72 hours, he said.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Thousands of people are expected in the city this weekend for the JAMFest Cheer Super Nationals.
It’s the 19th year Indy has hosted JAMFest, but the cheerleader competition will feel different this year during the coronavirus pandemic. Even before participants set foot inside, entrances are limited, and there are signs clearly stating “No mask. No entry.”
News 8 talked Friday with three cheerleaders who drove from Pennsylvania to be in Indianapolis this weekend for the cheerleading event. They are just a few of the 18,000 athletes expected in Indianapolis for the major competition.
One cheerleader said, “I’m just happy we can have a competition amongst the virus and everything. So, I’m really excited to compete tomorrow.”
The latest numbers show 48,437 Hoosiers have been fully vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus and 238,802 have received their first dose of the vaccine.
