Current Events > Man, the vaccine chills are hardcore

(+) Yeah! (+)

But they're happening quicker with the booster than before, so hopefully that means I'll be over this sooner

My side effects were about the same for mine. Headaches and fatigue despite it being just a half dose compared to the first two shots. Went away after 3-4 days though just like before.

I'm going for my booster next week.
With the first two I had barely any side effects. Just a sore arm and little more tired than normal. Think that means the booster will hit the same?

Yep. got the booster at 4pm on Tuesday and started feeling it close to midnight. I was out for the entire day yesterday. Didn't get out of the house at all to go for a walk or anything.

I wanna say I got out of it completely earlier today in the afternoon.

I recommend getting the booster shot as early as you can during the day so you can get over it. You will probably still have to call in the next day sick if you are young and healthy.

Booster shot was identical to the second shot effects, including time it took to settle in, which was 7-8 hrs. As well as recovery. I had moderna.

It hit me exactly the same as dose #2.

Yeah I got mine at work around 10am and started feeling this shit around 7-8pm. I planned it since NYE is a paid day off. Moderna for all 3 for me as well.

mostly the same yes. each person experiences it differently.

1st shot: sore arm and shoulder. fatigue for half a day
2nd booster: light sore arm. sore shoulder. fatigue for half a day

I had mild effects on first 2 shots, and the booster gave me hardcore flu symptoms for 3 whole days.

woah. mild on second shot and hardcore symptoms for 3 days for booster?! Interesting

i had extreme chills with the pfizer first dose, but they only lasted for one bout.

I'm not sure if it's because I already had covid, but I didn't have a reaction to either of the 3 doses other than soreness at the sight of injection.

Vaccine: "look out for this guy"
Booster: "FIRE DRILL! FIRE DRILL!"

If the booster wrecks your shit, that's how you know it's working.
