Covid booster

**thebigspendur** · 10-30-2021, 01:53 AM

I got the Pfizer Booster yesterday. I originally got the Moderna and the side effects were minimal. Not so this time. I have seriously bad body aches and headaches. I'm pretty much bedridden all day.

I think next booster I'll stick with Moderna.

I took the two dose Mederna shot. Both times I had a 48 hour headache, with fatigue and a loud ringing of the ears.

3rd Pfizer shot on the 3rd of Oct. Next to zero side effects. My wife did the same and felt crappy the day after.

Update...
I had no reaction to my booster shot. Not evan a sore arm.

Haven't gotten mine yet but planning to. The other one I have been planning on is the shingles vaccine. From what I have seen from people who have had it you really don't want to wait till you get it... shingles that is, not the vaccine.

The booster shot isn't generaly available in Ontario.

I asked my doctor about the possibilty of me getting a shingles jab myself, he told me that I would get it on my 65th bithday covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan, bit like National Health but not as comprehensive) or I could get one now if i paid $150 Can for it. I decided to wait, I did have the first of two pneumonia shots though. The second will be again when I'm 65.

3rd shot side effects were a strong need for bourbon

I hear I’ll be eligible for the booster cause I was given the AZ dbl dose originally.
Not in the age or risk category but because I got AZ?
Not sure why they are still down on that mix over here as it worked throughout the UK..
And of course the booster won’t be AZ, choice will be either Moderna or Pfizer.
Will wait till they push me, as I did my bit already. And would prefer not to mix my drinks.
Cheers

I had a "mild" case of shingles 20 years ago. Believe me you don't want to get it. The itching is so bad you'll be thinking suicide.

They did give me the full dose. My arm hurts like a sob but besides that no other symptoms.
