And yes, I did have some side effects from the second dose, which is not uncommon. My âvaccination hangoverâ consisted of body aches, a headache and some fatigue, which started about seven hours after receiving the second dose. It lasted till the afternoon of the next day but it was short-lived. As for my mom, she just seemed a bit more lethargic than usual, for about a week. My mom got her first dose in February, during a brief nursing home stay following a hospitalization. However, she did not receive her second dose until nearly six weeks later. The nursing home said that following her discharge, they would welcome her back to receive her second dose when the state announced they would be returning. The nursing home gave me a call, the day before the clinic. According to a nurse there, that was as much notice as she got.
