Just DOING the first shot is a BIG accomplishment so congratulations!!   I was okay the first week (in fact, hardly had any reactions straight after the shots), but the subtle build up kept on subtly building up until after some weeks it was slightly less subtle and required some paracetamol.   Good luck for minimal sx's and quickly diminishing viral load :-)!!

Good luck - hope you continue to have little or no symptoms.  Drink lots, take paracetamol if you need.

You can't ask for anything more at this point.
Let the meds build over the next 8-10 weeks and do their job.
Wishing you the best...
