Got my first Pfizer shot today about 3:30. Took 2 tylenol when I got home about 20 minutes later and all is well at this point. Arm not sore, feel fine. I am tired but I could tell I was stressing some all day so chalk it up to that.

Our dentist, who's my age, just got his second shot last week and he wants everyone to know that you probably don't want to get the second shot in the same arm as the first shot.

That’s good to know. I will receive my second dose on 2/11 and I will definitely receive the vaccine in my other arm.

A couple of health care providers recommended to take Tylenol right after you get the shot in order to keep any potential fever from raising.
I still don't know when I will get my vaccine. My guess is March or April.

Is Tylenol THE definite choice recommended in these cases by medical professionals, or is regular aspirin okay?

The CDC brochure only seems to reference acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I read that we should NOT take any before the jab; but, instead wait until the immune response occurs, THEN you can take it. Normally, I take aspirin for most everything; but, decided to do Tylenol (acetaminophen) instead. The Tylenol didn't do much for my pain. I switched to ibuprofen (which doesn't usually work too well for me) and it worked pretty good. So, maybe you have to go with the one that your body will respond to.
