Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.

My brother got a Moderna booster yesterday after getting Pfizer for 1&2. He’s been shitty all day. Don’t think he’s running a fever but he said he felt like a gorilla was sitting on his forehead all day.

That’s a little out there, but we don’t kink shame around here.

My first shot, I had a sore arm for a day. Second shot, nothing. Got a booster last week and had a sore arm and minor symptoms for a day. Joint pain, fatigue and that general “blah” you get when you’re getting sick. Woke up the next day and felt great.

[Bookman 4638]

Just got boosted! #fcovid

 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19100]

24 hours out from Pfizer #3.  No side effects other than my arm is a bit sore.  I did take a 2 hour nap yesterday evening, but I had also woken up at 4 AM that morning, so not shocked that I needed a quick kip.

[Guest Lobo]

I tried saying Quick Kip three times rapidly.  Now I'm drunk.

[Brandywine 1316]

Completely vaccinated including booster. I will say the booster kept me down for a few days, more so than the other two. 

[SimonBolivar 10957]

I was talking to a local cop who just finished getting his J&J shot. He informed me that was his 5th shot after getting 2 Pfizer and 2 Moderna....lulz.

[closetohumping 17431]

Boosted.  

[Bookman 4638]

This third Pfizer shot has got me down a bit more than the last one, but I suppose it makes sense that it would. Much better than gasping for air.

Not that I'd be accomplishing anything at work anyway.

[Pancho 44685]

Just got my Pfizer booster at Kelsey. I was told to wait 15 minutes in the lobby before leaving but I’m a badass and walked straight out.

Anyone else suddenly have Kenny Loggins singing in their head?  Is this a vaccine side effect?  How do I make it stop?

It's Wednesday morning and I feel great. It will be nice to have Thanksgiving this year.

It's nice to live in a country where the vaccines are free and easy to get.

[Royalfan5 2353]

I got my Moderna yesterday after. A little sluggish but was more sore after the flu shot

[Dahobbs 17521]

Boosted yesterday. Third Pfizer dose. Just a sore arm, same as the last two times. My five year old received his first dose yesterday as well. No complaints from him after we got past the initial refusal to get a shot. 

[HouTex 1866]

Got the Moderna booster Monday after the Pfizer shots in late March 2021. Sore arm for two days. But not the low grade fever I had with the first two Pfizer shots. I did feel a little dizzy within 10 minutes of the shot and then it went away.

[bernorange 8359]

Got Moderna #3 yesterday.  Fever dreams last night.  Feel achy in the joints and moving a bit slow today.  I expect I'll be fine tomorrow.

Got booster.  Absolutely zero sides.  Felt great same day and totally forgot I got it by next day.  
 

edit: I lied. Arm was tender to touch until next morning.  Then nothing. 

Edited December 1, 2021 by ChiTownDoc

[Gucci_Suit 2642]

I got moderna booster on 2 Pfizer shots. Slight soreness & I drank my face off the day I got it so I have no idea what sides i might have had. I didn’t feel great the next day until I had a couple vodka sodas. This was 2 wks ago

[YChang 3441]

Boosted with Pfizer on Monday. J&J back in April with breakthrough in early August. Just a sore arm and no other side effects.

[F250 28761]

I just received a text from CVS telling me it's almost time to schedule a booster shot. I'll probably go with a 3rd Pfizer.

 

[South Austin 52431]

Got my Moderna booster last night at Walgreens.  Second Moderna was February 28, and about 12 or so hours after that shot I felt like I got hit by a truck, and had flu-like symptoms that lasted about 12 hours. 

I got some good sleep last night, and woke up feeling fine until I got my kids off to school.  Now the chills and body aches have started.  I'm still able to do some work (i.e., post on Surly), but am glad I cleared my calendar today.

[Guest]

Got the booster yesterday at the Pflugerville library where APH was having a walk-up clinic (every Wednesday). It's hard to fault people working their asses off to help get people the shot, but what a mess. Took 2.5 hours. I think there was a much bigger crowd than normal, but it was just unbelievably slow. When you go, they have to create an account for you on APH. Why?! Get shots in arms and get people through the line.

[Storm the Field 5291]

Moderna #2 back around Memorial Day. Might see if I can get a booster Saturday afternoon so that if it whoops me like my first 2 doses, I'll be able to just turd around the house on Sunday and be back to normal-ish for work on Monday.

[HornPhD 1368]

I got my booster on Monday (Pfizer x 2, Moderna).

Scheduled the appointment right when the portal opened in CA. My wife tried the next day to schedule her appointment; however, there was nothing available until the end of December. We live in the Bay Area, so not unexpected. On Monday, we found out our daughter’s soccer game this weekend is in Modesto, which is Trump country. So on a hunch, I checked Walgreens to see if they had any available appointments in the area. Yep. Every day of the week has a wide range of time slots. /csb

[Samson's Wig 3189]

Kids were supposed to get their second shot tomorrow, three weeks after the first.  Walgreens called today and said they're out of vaccine and the appointments are cancelled.  Tough shit, find it somewhere else was their response.   Fuck Walgreens.  

[Chuckie Finster 22692]

FYI: both wife and I walked into different CVS's this week and got the booster without an appointment, even though the website said they were all booked.  Never hurts to ask.

Second Moderna knocked me on my ass, so a little wary of what's coming the next 24 hours or so.

I was fine on the first two, the third hit me like a freight train for a day.  It’s completely random.

My wife was exactly the same way, third was the worst.  Hoping for just a sore arm!

[Austinvines 316]

Moderna boosted 11/11. Worked from home the next day and had some chills/aches but nothing bad.

 

UT CARES Results:

Second Moderna was 3/13

9/1 - Spike was 291 (whoops)

12/2 - Spike is >2500

Me and #8 got our boosters today.



Only pic I had the balls to take.

[C-Man 27183]

And as a recap, Pfizer #1 kicked my ass. Felt like I had full-blown COVID again. Pfizer #2 was a bitch too but only for about half the time. Got Pfizer #3 at 12:30 today, went for lunch and was feeling it by the time I got home. Wife talked me into our nightly 2-mile walk around 5:15. Did not feel very well at all when we started but felt pretty decent 30 mins later. Then we had grex and I feel even better this evening. About to pop two more Advil and commence with the tequila consumption.

[Superhero 8826]

Kids got their 2nd shot on Wednesday. I get my booster on Tuesday. Then I'll become 

[ChuckNorrisActionJeans 2662]

2 Pfizer shots in March. 

2nd shot gave me some body aches and fatigue for a few hours. With the booster (Pfizer), essentially no reaction. Maybe brief fatigue.

Pre-booster antibody count in September was 561. 

Booster on 10/8.  Post-booster count is <2500.

Follow up to my follow up. Well, I apparently spoke WAY too soon. Skipped the tequila but did drink a bottle of wine while the missus and I knocked out the first two episodes of DOPESICK on Hulu. Started feeling kind of shitty as it was getting closer to bed time. Went to bed but didn't really fall asleep. Body-aches, mild fever, general discomfort. Felt like total dogshit by the time the sun came up. Wife gave me three Advil and an extra strength Tylenol and I went back to sleep. Flipped on the Big 12 Championship Game in our bedroom and proceeded to doze in and out throughout that game and the SEC Championship Game after that. Felt terrible. I finally crawled out of bed around 6 or 6:30. Spent the rest of the evening on the living room couch. I was able to eat dinner around 9. I'm feeling much better today but still "off." I hate that this vaccine/booster looks like it's going to cost me most of a weekend of being sick moving forward.

[QuesoEspecial 255]

Pfizer boosted on Friday...sore arm and generally felt low energy Saturday but back to normal today. 

[RDCanecutter 26377]

I posted this on the wrong thread because I am a bad person.

 

Got boosted Thursday. Friday morning felt goofy, no appetite. Friday evening had a 100 degree fever but was babbling as if it were higher-- my verbal skills were limited to shouting unrelated words. Crashed for about 40 hours, Saturday didn't exist as I wallowed in my own sweat-soaked sheets like some failed French canal-digger in Panama. Sunday morning came out of it sufficiently to accomplish tasks like making coffee or walking up and down stairs.

Currently (Sunday evening) I am like a car with one gallon of gas in the tank-- I am good for some short simple task, but don't push it.

[gmr548 16575]

Have held off on my booster because I did the first draw for the UT Health antibody study in late August and wanted to do my second draw before getting the booster. Pfizer’s second dose in early April and antibodies around 850 on the test in August.

My antibody level increased to 925 as of this past Saturday, eight months after my second dose. Still negative for natural infection.

[South Austin 52431]

My reaction to the Moderna booster was similar to the second shot.  Flu-like symptoms for about a day.  The difference was after the booster I was able to get around, do some work, make lunch and dinner, etc., with a mid-afternoon nap.  The second shot completely immobilized me. 

Better hydration and supplements may have helped with the booster, but seems like getting knocked on my ass for a day every six months is the price I'm going to pay for a booster here on out.  Beats getting COVID.

[UnivTex34 1763]

Got my Booster yesterday at about 4. Woke up with the weirdest fucking headache I've ever had this morning, but a little Advil took care of it. Arm is sore, but no more than the 2nd shot. I only had the mild high/brain fog feeling from the second shot, so I'm hoping that is all I have this go around, but I assume if it's worse, the shit is going to hit the fan this afternoon.

The booster is also half the dosage of the second Moderna shot, so that may have had something to do with you not feeling as badly after the booster.

Interestingly that correlation isn’t how many vaccines actually work. Smaller doses often cause more of a reaction from the immune system for some reason

[High Plains Drifter 11024]

 

Just to clarify, the booster doesn't have to be the same vax as the first two shots, correct?

 

anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

 

 

[Superhero 8826]

Correct

In fact, there’s evidence that mixing them is better

My first 2 doses were Moderna. I opted for the Pfizer shot today.

So far so good.

[Telegraph_it 3357]

I got Pfizer #3 14 hours ago. Woke up with very sore arm and some body aches but not that bad. Still able to bench 315 this morning even though my shoulder is screaming.
