Lady at work stayed home yesterday from feeling like shit from booster. I got Covid after vaccine so I consider that my booster. 

Got the Moderna booster a week ago. Grew a third eye and my left nut dropped off.

Actually, had a sore arm for a couple of days.

I got the Moderna booster. It was worse than 2nd shot for me. 2nd shot I felt kinda blah. Booster shot I got a fever and chills that night then a headache for 2 days after that.  It went away though. 

I will get it, at some point.

I'll get it when it's my turn.  Apparently, the efficacy goes back up to like 95% even against Delta.  So it seems like a major driver of breakthrough infections has been waning immunity.

Moderna, probably because the doses were higher, has held up better than Pfizer.  And although similar, the theory is mixing vaccines provides some enhanced protection.  But I've not seen any definitive research addressing that question.

I had chills & low-grade fever after the second Pfizer dose.  So I will almost certainly NOT switch to Moderna for the booster.

If the booster shots are as bad as the second round for many people, much less worse, then buckle up.  Also, WTF even Russia doesn't have vaccine mandates.

Assuming this is why people are opting for Moderna. I haven't researched either. 

My 2nd Pfizer just made me incredibly tired for a day, felt like I came off a 3 day bender. I was going to go next week, but I can't afford to be down for a day.

I just got a random saying according to state public health records that I'm up for a booster shot. I'lll probably get it early December.

Anyone get it yet? I'm hearing mixed reviews regarding side effects. From nothing, to full on dead for a day.

I'm also reading that people with Pfizer are opting for Moderna booster? Why?

Same here.

Not getting any shot.  Natural antibodies are way better

Boosted last Tuesday with moderna. After second shot I had fever, chills, body aches for 24 hours and was in bed most of the day.  This booster I had aches and was fatigued for around 12 hours.  I took AM off from work and went in after lunch. Fine the next day. 

Wife and I had booster last Thursday. No side effect for either. 

i'll get it but only because my company is giving $650 bonuses to get the booster and/or get vaccinated.

Got the Pfizer booster Sunday morning. Had a  sore arm, upset stomach, and incredibly bad attitude in the afternoon. The wife said it was because of the Bengals performance, but I’m sure the vaccine had something to do with it

you all need to go get an antibody test 4 weeks afterward too see is these shots even do anything

Or I can just assume Pfizer had to present all that research when the FDA approved the booster....

What are you impying? 

Moderna booster last week. I had the J&J back in March. 

After the booster, my arm was pretty sore for 3 days. I felt off for a day, then back to normal.

Yeah the FDA is totally autonomous.

I had the Pfizer and Flu shot on Friday night. I was miserable for about 36 hours.   From about 12 hours after the shot to 48 hours after. I had chills, body aches, and fatigue. It was 100x worse then my second shot. Oh Well I’m done for atleast another 6 months lol. I do need a tetanus shot though ugh.
