KEY POINTS

• High fever, body aches, headaches and exhaustion are some of the symptoms participants in Moderna and Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine trials say they felt after receiving the shots.
• While the symptoms were uncomfortable, and at times intense, they often went away after a day, sometimes less.
• The phase three trials are a critical last step needed to get the vaccines cleared for distribution.
