Prolly be home alone for next days, thinking of boosting

[elleng]

with moderna soon. Had modest reactions to ##s 1 & 2.

Anyone have significant reactions?

[radical noodle]

1. My husband just got his Moderna booster

and had no reaction. Good luck!

[elleng]

2. Thanks

[amerikat]

3. I want a booster ASAP.

Have a Dec. 3 appointment at CVS for booster and flu shot. Also reached out to our county to see If I can get booster sooner. Sore arm with Moderna 1 and was tired for a day and sore arm with Moderna #2.

[elleng]

6. Thanks, similar reactions for me.

Will check with 'my' cvs soon, simpler than going elsewhere.

[DURHAM D]

5. Had no reaction to Moderna booster.

Same as first two shots - nothing.

Getting flu shot tomorrow. Hope no reaction to it.

[elleng]

7. Thanks. Got flu shot @ first meeting with my new Doc months ago,

so that's done; had NO reaction.

[DURHAM D]

12. I always get my flu shot around my birthday.

My mother advised me it was the best way to remember if I had received it. Helps that my birthday is the right time of year.

8. I had the full strength Moderna 3rd shot, not just the 1/2 strength booster.

Next day, sore arm and felt like the beginning of a bad cold. that was coming on.

Second day, back to normal.

[DURHAM D]

9. Just curious...

were you boosting a J & J?

[3Hotdogs]

11. No. Straight Moderna for all three.

For about a week, our county offered full strength red shots before the C.D.C. green lighted boosters.

Now they are only giving booster.

[elleng]

10. Thanks. I thought boosters were same as ##s 1 & 2, not half strength.

[DURHAM D]

13. They are half strength. nt

[No Vested Interest]

25. Moderna is half-strength, Pfizer if full-strength, as I understand it.

[Tomconroy]

28. If you were immuno compromised you got a full third shot,

Not a half shot booster.

[Joinfortmill]

14. None.

1st shot, a bit sore. 2nd shot, flat on my back for 24 hours, very fatigued. Booster, tender at shot site. Moderna for all three.

[elleng]

16. Thanks

[MFM008]

15. my brother was down for 2 days

had a strong reaction to moderna 1 & 2 and the booster, said it felt like a bad flu....

[elleng]

17. "thanks"

[demigoddess]

36. i had no reaction to moderna 1 & 2 but the booster gave me a big reaction. I have never had the

flu so can't say if it was like that. But knocked me for a loop for several days. Never had a reaction to a vaccine either. Maybe a fluke.

[happybird]

18. My boss had reactions to Moderna 1 and 2

Very achy joints and pretty bad Covid arm from the second one.

Got her booster last week and the nurse recommended she get the Pfizer after hearing about her experience with the first two shots. No reaction at all to the Pfizer. She is thrilled.

[RainCaster]

19. I had all 3 Pfizer shots, second was the worst

And that was only a sore arm for three days.

[Laffy Kat]

20. I got a Pfizer booster Friday night after my two previous Moderna vaccines.

By Saturday, my arm hurt like hell and I was achy. I just stayed in bed and took a couple of left-over Norcos from some dental work I had a while back. By yesterday (Sunday) I was fine. It was so much better than the second Modera shot and totally worth it. Oh, and most everyone else I know who got their boosters did much better than I did and had no side effects.

[multigraincracker]

21. Starting in January, I've had every vaccine known to man.

Got the last one yesterday, the senior flue. Had all three modern, shingle and now the flue. Pretty much no reaction, illness or pain in arm on all of them. For years I have always rubbed the injection site for 10 to 15 minutes after any vaccine shot. I'm sure any reaction to a vaccine would be far less than having any of the viruses.
Go for it and let us know how it went.

[elleng]

22. Thanks

[No Vested Interest]

23. I need to get my booster also - I'll get Pfizer as I did twice last Jan.-Feb.

Local news says most places are busy; appts. needed rather than walk-ins.
Last spring I went to an indoor drive-thru at University Hospital.
No after-effects either time.
Want to get Pfizer again.
I would prefer a medical facility to a pharmacy, as I trust their accuracy more than a pharmacy. I realize that mistakes have been few & far between, but...
Anyway, I need to do it and soon.

[elleng]

24. Good luck to us both.

My first were via the county where I live, in a drive-thru facility; no medical facility.

[littlemissmartypants]

26. Got my Moderna booster, shot number three, yesterday morning

Monday @ 1030 AM. So far, I just have a sore upper arm and a small knot at the injection site. I was advised to take Tylenol before I went. I think it's supposed to help with the inflammatory response.

IDK, for sure though.

So far so good. Time will tell and it's early yet in the process.

Good luck!

❤

[elleng]

27. Good luck!

[snowybirdie]

29. Get boosted

My Moderna booster only caused me a bit of tiredness. Went to bed early and was fine next day. Less reaction than second shot

[Sedona]

30. Honestly...I had a "significant" reaction

I'm a 59 year old female and had moderate reactions to Pfizer #1&2. Nothing debilitating. Low fever, mild body aches. Over within 24-36 hours.

The booster KICKED MY ASS.

I was in bed with 102 fever, chills, headache, and pretty harsh body aches within 24 hours of injection. Ibuprofin did little or nothing to relieve.

This went on for two days. It continued on and off for another two.

It sucked but I'm still glad I did it.

Mr Sedona had little or no reaction to all three Pfizer shots. Go figure...

[catrose]

31. Same as for 2, except for a few days of depression that cleared up with other symptoms

[KarenS]

32. we had moderna 1,2 & Boost,,,, basically the same kind of reaction to the Boost as to #2

24 hours into it, sleeping on the couch, achey, slight temp,,,, Had easy food around the house and was lazy for 2 days,,,,
I am happy to get the Booster and if recommended next year will do it again

[marble falls]

33. The booster had milder version of site pain and mild fluish symptoms than the two jabs.

[PJMcK]

34. We got our 3rd shot of Modrna yesterday

My wife's arm is really sore and stiff. I'm without symptoms (so far).

I got very sick with flu-like symptoms after the second dose that lasted about 10-12 hours. My wife had the same stiffness in her arm. That was it.

Get the shot and good luck!

[Lydiarose]

35. Boosted

Got vaccine booster Sept. 24, and flu shot October 5. No side effects. Definitely get it! (Pfizer is full dose.)
