Got my second dose of Pfizer vaccine over a week ago. No side effects at all after this one, only sore arm for a few days after the first. Another family member got her second at the same time, had a sore arm for a day (also had one after first shot) and some mild body achiness for 24-36 hours that she said didn’t even feel as bad as a mild case of the flu. A third family member got their first Pfizer shot a few days later and felt no side effects at all.

Moderna or Pfizer or J&J?

Researchers have found that people like you who were exposed to Covid previously and still have antibodies tend to react more to the first vaccines because their immune systems are already primed; whereas people who never were exposed and did not have antibodies respond more to the second shot because the first one acts as the immune system primer.
From what I’ve heard from friends in the medical community and from anecdotal info, people who react strongly to the first vaccine generally have much smaller reactions - and sometimes none - to the second. A lot of factors can go into that - such as the overall strength of your immune system, certain hormonal levels, etc. - so YMMV. All I can say is that the general odds would seem to favor your having a much smaller reaction than you did after your first shot. Post an update after your second. Will be interested to hear what your experience is in that regard.
This is what they are testing-

mostly third shots. Awesome.

Looks like JNJ might not be an option.
“The U.S. is recommending a “pause” in using the single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to investigate reports of potentially dangerous blood clots.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday they were investigating unusual clots that occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.
The clots occurred in veins that drain blood from the brain and occurred together with low platelets. All six cases were in women between the ages of 18 and 48; there was one death and all remained under investigation.”

“Dr. Hepburn showed us a few current projects, some sound like they're from an episode of "Star Trek." Consider a ship like the USS Theodore Roosevelt -- hobbled last year when 1,271 crew members tested positive for the coronavirus. What if everyone on board had their health monitored with this subdermal implant, now in late-stage testing. It's not some dreaded government microchip to track your every move, but a tissue-like gel engineered to continuously test your blood.
Dr. Matt Hepburn: It's a sensor.
Bill Whitaker: This tiny green thing in there?
Dr. Matt Hepburn: That tiny green thing in there, you put it underneath your skin and what that tells you is that there are chemical reactions going on inside the body and that signal means you are going to have symptoms tomorrow.
Bill Whitaker: Wow. There's an-- an actual transmitter in that--
Dr. Matt Hepburn: Yeah. It's like a "check engine" light.
Bill Whitaker: Check this sailor out before he infects other people?
Dr. Matt Hepburn: That's right.”
