1) Go get vaccinated.  Please.

2) Side effect for me on Moderna Shot #1 was a sore arm days 2 and 3, and a little fatigue.  Side effect on shot #2 was a sore arm on days 2 and 3, and that was it.  Other people have felt flu-like for a day or so, usually after the second one, if they never had COVID before.

3) Good luck to your son, he'll be fine, nothing to it.

No issues at all for me. Felt a little woozy day 2 after shot 1, but that's probably because I had immunity already from having it.

Go for it. Nothing to wait for now.

And agree with 94, 320... Go get vaccinated. 

The delta variant is well on its way to becoming the dominant strain here in the US and is VERY transmissible. The risk of side effects from the vaccine are FAR lower than the risks of the side effects of COVID. 

2nd shot: the day after the shot I started running a fever before lunch, took some ibuprofen, felt better. Around 5 PM the fever kicked in HARD and reached a high of 101.6 even with ibuprofen, and stuck with me for about 4 hours where I was laid out on the couch useless. I was fine the next morning.

That is a decently severe reaction, I think.  Glad it was short term, I just was tired.

I had a reaction to the shingles vaccine number 2, was lying in bed shivering uncontrollably.  I put a pencil in my mouth to protect my teeth.  The wife got me acetominiphin and it passed quickly.

Never had anything like that before.

College-aged kids of several of my friends took an off-year last year, and one of them deferred enrollment. 

I sure as heck wouldn't pay in-person college tuition for my child to attend via Zoom.  And I have no idea how they did any of the engineering labs when they were 100% online, it's completely impossible to gain anywhere close to the proper learning in that environment.

My daughter in grad school was so thankful she got to walk across the stage for her graduation in May 2021 after last year's class didn't (last year's class was invited back to walk this year, but so many were all over the U.S. and didn't come back). 
My daughter was in a Physical Therapy program at Clarke University that started out with approximately 35 students and two or three didn't make, it. Fortunately for the university, they received 3-years of tuition from the two that made it to their last semester, and then were cut. That was $105,000 of tuition, not to mention other fees. Youch !!! - for those who didn't make it!
It was difficult at times to find hands on experience, but they did work through it.

Yup my wife is a PT.  Her clinic shut down for about 6 weeks in March/April of last year while everyone was trying to figure out how bad this pandemic might be, but then they went back face-to-face for 8 hours per day 5 days per week from then, on.  They had a couple of students doing rotations in their clinic and they came back, as well.

my son has decided to delay his first shot until this Friday just in case he needs the weekend to get over it

he just started a new job and doesnt want to miss any work

He called the local kroger and they said no appointment needed just come in 7 am to 7 pm

and it would take 10 minutes
