Share which one you took also.
I'm lazy so once the J&J is available with no line /no wait I'll probably do that one

I took the Jonson and Johnson vaccine single shot and it was the only one offered for me through my states department of health registration system.
It was 3 long lines and we were standing 6 feet apart and lines were indoors in a old retail space.
Prolly took like 40 minutes to get through the line because I had a issue with the QR code.
I took the J and J shot like 2 days ago.
That night I had a oral high temperature of 99 degrees ( 100-102 is a fever).
Moderate headache, some mild chills.
Mild to moderate body aches
No pain in arm from shot
Slept to recover because Before I took the shot I only had like 4 hours of sleep that day maybe 5.
I felt moderately sluggish in action
I took no over the counter meds for the symptoms.
Mild single sinus block later
I took canned mushrooms for the headache like I always do. Drank chicken bullion cube. Drank water and pedialyte (electrolyte drink) for hydration
Later took some tart cherry juice for headache and body and just cuz.
Basically I felt a super mild cold/fever
I guess in total in it was over in 24 hours
I feel better today back to normal.
Protection is suppose to kick in 2 weeks and 29 days is when optimal protection starts for the J and J shot.

Moderna. First shot had my shoulder sore, 2nd nothing.
Got both moderna shots. The first shot the next day my arm hurt like hell, continued to hurt a few days after. No other side effects. The second shot arm pain again but not as severe but the next day I felt a little sluggish and tired but not enough to stop me from running errands. By the night I felt fine.

1st Moderna shot pretty much nothing but a sore arm for two days. 2nd Moderna shot whooped my ass. Felt like I had the Flu first 36 hours the following day. Very bad headache, had to sleep in sweatsuit and socks. Chills, aches, all of that. But then I felt better very quickly.
My mother got the dame shot, same days. She was fine both times.

My dad is 81 and he got his first Pfizer shot a few weeks ago. No symptoms whatsoever.
My sister got both Pfizer shots and she had a mild headache and some body pain for a bit.

I got my second Pfizer shot last Saturday. I didn’t have any side effects or symptoms afterwards 
First shot, my arm was sore for a couple of days, but it was the same as a flu shot

I got my second Pfizer shot two weeks ago. After the first shot, the only effect was my shoulder was just sore for a couple days.
After the second shot, I started feeling the more significant side effects the next day. I was sore all over, had an off and on headache, and a slight fever along with chills. I felt mostly fine the next day and the day after that, I was completely back to normal.
