The timing between your first and second dose depends on which vaccine you received: Moderna: 4 to 6 weeks after your first dose Pfizer: 3 to 6 weeks after your first dose Side Effects & Allergic Reactions Mild side effects are normal signs your body is building protection, and they usually go away after a few days.
