Wife got 2nd Vac shot Tues and went to the hospital Tue

night in an ambulance. She got really sick blood pressure bottomed out and she almost passed out completely. She was barely conscience.
She was doing better today and hope she will come home tomorrow. She had a few other conditions that were going on at the same time, infected tooth, ulcers maybe from the tooth and large does of ibuprofen and tylenol and the 2nd day they found pneumonia too and a small heart murmur today but the cardiologist didn't think it was really related, but the rest could have contributed to it.
It was probably a combination of things that just happened at the same time. That seems to be the general consensus from all the doctors. She was sick for about 3 days from the first shot too, but nothing at all like this. The doctors all have said they are seeing a lot of sick people from the covid shots. One of them said he was pretty sick from the 2nd shot for a few days and the PA with him said she was pretty sick for a day too. They were both young 40's maybe.
She got the pfizer shot, the docs seemed to think it made people sicker than the moderna shot.

I'm still getting a vaccine as soon as I am able to. I'd rather get sick a few days than take my chances with covid. I don't do well when I get sick, but I don't have an underlying conditions.

The vaccines are supposed to illicit an immune response

so it seems possible/likely that you can feel "sick" for a day or two after getting the shots.
That said, I'm sorry to hear about your wife. That sounds scary and I hope she'll be okay.

BP dropping, LOC and hospitalizations signify a major allergic reaction. I agree that a mild reaction does happen with some vaccinations, as the vaccine is simply an attenuated virus which is supposed to produce such a reaction. Hope she's OK soon.

I should clarify that I wasn't referring to her reaction

just to the idea OP later mentioned about the doctors saying they've seen/heard lots of people getting sick from the vaccine. That having sick-like symptoms is supposed to be pretty normal. But his wife's reaction, certainly, is atypical and might point to an allergic reaction. Scary situation for sure.

Good info...and hope your wife recovers well.
Scary stuff, and you're not the first person I've heard saying there's still some bugs to work out in that vaccine. Granted the need was pressing...but this is also what happens when something gets rushed into production so fast, too.
Thoughts and prayers. Truly.

Hope your wife continues to recover. My wife and I will get the vaccine but we will be the last 2 on earth in line.

had a reaction from shot #2... arm soreness and rash, felt like crap for a couple days, etc. But nothing as serious as you're describing. As you said, probably a combo of things.

Hope she continues to recover. My son had is second this week (moderna I believe). No symptoms. My in-laws got first shot with zero symptoms (moderna).
My wife got really sick with that darn shingles vaccine shot. The first one was much worse than second. I have yet to get it.

Wife got 1st shot Tuesday- sore arm for about a day and a half.
Son and DIL no issue with first shot. Both health care professionals.
Second shot seems to create more significant side effects. Will keep fingers crossed.

I'm not 100% sure having the covid would be as bad

as the second shot. Problem is, with the 'rona there's no way to tell if you'll just have flu like symptoms, or you end up in the hospital.
As more people get the vaccine, i expect to see a lot more tales of how bad it is.
