The covid vaccines I have gotten each made me sick for two days. That's not a lot in the big picture but it is enough to make me unenthusiastic about getting another booster that may well be ineffective. For now I'm sticking with my trusty N95.

If you had Moderna before, consider Pfizer because in my experience it gave me much less discomfort afterwards. I went back to Moderna because I felt more strongly protected, but Pfizer is good enough and better than nothing. Of course your mask will help a lot too.

Oh, is that a known issue with Moderna? I wife and I had only gotten Pfizer before and just got Moderna on Saturday, and we were knocked completely out Sunday and barely functional today. Seemed noticeably harsher.

I'm only speaking anecdotally, I had a reaction of fatigue and fever this time. But for sure in previous versions, Moderna was something like 3x the dose of Pfizer.

I’ve had all the shots/boosters, switched from Moderna to Pfizer about halfway through. All Moderna shots hit me like a truck, and I’ve had zero symptoms other than a sore arm from any of my Pfizer shots.

i mean, yeah, i have to FORCE myself to get every one, the side effects are so awful. but i figure two days of that has got to be better than actually getting covid.

Right?

I've spent a week of PTO already just from getting vaccinated. I'm not about up to use up another 2 days of my pathetic 8 days of PTO a year on a 'maybe'

Got my daughter to get her vaccine. She spent a week with fever, and feeling like shit too dude. Why can't they get a better vaccine? I didn't feel like this for anything else but I'm not alone.
