Weston was part of the Moderna vaccine trial and received shots in October and November.
Clinical trials for vaccines are double blind, Weston said, meaning the administrator and the recipient are not sure if the dose is the real thing or a placebo. But Weston thinks he knows.
After the first dose at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C., Weston felt no side effects, he said.
After the second injection, also at GW Hospital in D.C., he got chills the following morning, but they were gone in an hour or two, he added. Later in the day, he developed a moderate fever, but it went away by the evening.

TAIPEI, Taiwan Taiwan has set a goal to vaccinate 60% of its population with a COVID-19 vaccine, or 15 million people, a health official said Tuesday.
Taiwan has signed an agreement with COVAX to purchase a COVID-19 vaccine, but is also actively in talks with vaccine companies who have candidates in phase 3 trials for a potential bilateral agreement as well, said Jing-Hui Yang, a deputy director at the Central Epidemic Command Center. COVAX, a global plan to distribute vaccines equally, has not yet started sending out shipments of vaccines.
The island will prioritize frontline health workers and essential personnel to receive the vaccine first, Yang said. Later on, the immunization campaign will target the elderly as well as those who have existing chronic illnesses.
