I just wanted to share my experience with the AstraZeneca vaccine. I had the shot yesterday at 9 am. I was fine until late afternoon. My skin looked slightly red. Then the fever came on - 100.8 F for several hours. I took a Tylenol twice which brought it down enough to sleep. I also had muscle aches and the shakes (probably nerves).
Now it is the next morning. Fever is down to 99.5 F and a mild headache.
If I had've known what side effects I was going to get I think I would rather have not gotten it. I hope the second dose is not the same.
Update re: AZ vaccine

Thanks to all those who gave me advice.
