Four weeks for the second one then 2 more for the full effectiveness of the vaccine to be in effect. Just remember, the vaccine is to keep you from getting sick enough to have to be admitted to a hospital (this goes for ALL vaccines) so continue to be careful and wear a mask among others if you know they have not been vaccinated or you cannot be sure. The new Delta and Delta Plus variants are much worse than the earlier ones.
My arm was essentially dead for two days after the first one, but that was because I didn't hydrate enough and ended up unable to move it, in addition to the pain. After the second one, since I actually hydrated decently, it definitely hurt for a few days, but not as much, and I was able to keep the majority of my range of motion. What hit me hardest was the two-day migraine (I've been told that isn't very common), the all-over body aches and weakness that lasted for a day, and just the absolute lack of any energy at all. I basically just sat in my recliner watching YouTube and chugging Gatorade (nurse informed me that water or Gatorade was best to stay hydrated, so I opted for flavor).
Something of note that I've been told is that the more active your immune system, the harder it will hit you, so I guess it just means my immune system is functioning well enough.
