Well, I got the shot and I was good most of the day and started feeling achy this morning and had a fever but it is Friday night and I feel a lot better.

Everybody's body is different and there may be differences among the three vaccines.

I had a reaction to the first shot: dizziness and nausea for 15 minutes afterward. It was Pfizer. That was it. Nothing with the second shot and nothing with the booster. And yet a neighbor had terrible bruising to his injection site and felt ill. Others were in bed for two days or felt sluggish. This is all anecdotal among my friends and relatives. Stories from about five or so folk.

What I've heard is, IF you have a big adverse reaction, that means your immune system is stimulated to protect you.

I just got all over body aches for a night. Nothing a little ibuprofen couldn't fix. I got Moderna

Thanks Doozy- very helpful.

I had Astra for first two, then Moderna, felt crap about 6 hours after it, had a sleep for a good bit, then achy until the next day, really just slept it off,

[ChrisMaster69]

@exitseven thank you for MHG, most appreciated

no charge

[NathanDavis]

my parents had it about the same effects... which were just a mild discomfort, for a day or two... didn't stop them from their daily life activities

[NathanDavis]

by the way, it was Pfizer

[MORPHEUS_12]

I got Moderna and the booster shot gave me the worst headache.

[midnightmoon05]

I will only get the booster when they make me when the time comes. I’ll let you know.
when they made me take the vaccines …
the first vaccine shot … no effect
2nd… I think I had a bad headache and slept through it.
Let us know how you feel after.

[exitseven]

yes, I will post all about it.

[Aerissa_Jade]

Did Moderna first two times and Pfizer for the booster, was told it would be worse because the worse it is means you body is fighting it better, its a bad sign when it is not.

At least that is what the person who gave me the shot said, but my arm hurt pretty bad for 3 days.

[purplepoppy]

Non of the shots had any effect on me other than a slight ache at injection site.

[exitseven]

which one did you get?

[purplepoppy]

Moderna

[exitseven]

thank you for your reply.

[DizzyDesii]

I haven't tried to get the first. But i do wear a mask, social distance and carry germex and lysol

[Paris13]

@DizzyDesii Walter Reed Army One Coming out in Weeks. THAT is my Best Choice!!! xxoo

[DizzyDesii]

@Paris13 I don't know what that is but i doubt i’d get it. I dont trust the army anymore than the government

[Paris13]

@DizzyDesii I trust Walter Reed. Google it. xxoo

I got Moderna and didn't experience any symptoms from the booster.

[exitseven]

I am getting the Moderna. My wife got it last Thursday and she has been feeling lousy ever since. She asked me today if I was sure i wanted to do this.

[awkward_author]

I don't know then. I've heard it's different for everyone, though, but I think getting it is the best option. At the end of the day, it's up to you.

[exitseven]

I am getting it.

[awkward_author]

I just added that in case you were starting to get cold feet.

[exitseven]

thanks. I will post later.

[awkward_author]

No problem

[douride2]

The only thing I had was a sore shoulder for a day. It wasn't much only when I lifted my arm over shoulder height..

[DaveToo]

I've had all three and the booster left me tired for a day. That was about it.

[JacobL883]

for me it was the night after getting it I had chills and was cold for the next 2 days after getting it. But every is different, it may not effect you the same as me.

[BillyBalls]

I am not getting the current booster.

I am waiting for the Omicron shot.

[lightbulb27]

haven't touched it yet.
of those I know, they didn't have it any worse.

[humanearth]

Never got one to start with

[Anonymous]

It's as if long term side effects no longer exist...

[OddBeMe]

Same really. I think the name is marketing only. It’s a third vax shot. Expect the same symptoms.

[poneglyphs]

Nah, the first shot was worse than the booster.

[LaFerrari]

I’m exempt from taking it (: so not sure.

[Anonymous]

NO!!!

[msc545]

I had no problem with it.

[msc545]

I got the pfizer shot
