About 8 hours after getting that second booster shot it hit me hard and I was down for 17 hours. After I started feeling better I woke up the next morning with the flu. I had to get another COVID test, it was negative but I tested positive for two flu strains. Nobody else in the house has been sick, just me and I haven’t felt like my self since that second shot.

They want me to have it, but I probably won't.

@edgarblythe,
If I had it to do over again I probably would have skipped the fourth shot.

@jcboy,
Nope - not planning on it unless forced to. Meaning work is making us.

My friend has, her husband and her sons, but that is because her sons both have had kidney transplants and they need to be as cautious as possible. I did not hear anything about them having side effects.

@Linkat,
I know someone that after getting the second booster also got the flu, only he tested positive for COVID two days later.

This whole thing is so weird.

So my younger daughter after being exposed so many times to various people who have had covid - and she was regularly tested due to sports and college, never caught covid or at least never tested positive for it.

Last Sunday she lost her taste of smell and has been feeling kind of sick nothing serious - tested positive. How the heck after even living with her sister who got covid twice and she never got it - out of no where she does.

My husband and I have yet to test positive.

That same friend I noted above - was overly cautious - she required all in the office to vaccination and boostered ( she is the director so she set up the parameters) - used sanitizer everywhere - wore N95 mask when she went out - the whole deal. Her one son caught covid - she did not get it from him. Then out of no where she tested positive. She is like what the h*ll? I did everything and I don't catch it from my son who lives in the house, but catch it while I am all suited up and being extra careful?

I honestly do not know what is going on?

They haven't offered it to our age group yet, but we will both probably go for it when they do. We just don't want to be indisposed, feel like crap, or have long Covid. We have always tested negative, but who knows?

I know many (now) who have had it - some feel next to nothing (flu-like symptoms) while others were in bed for 2 weeks. No rhyme or reason for the disparities.

@jcboy,
I had my fourth shot last week. I requested Pfizer, as all my other shots have been Moderna and they suggest that a switch may help improve immune response. Just the typical soreness around the injection site and I didn't even feel it next day. This should last m until autumn, when Moderna's supposed to roll out a new, improved vaccine.

Got it a month ago. Got BionTech (Pfizer).
No side effects at all.

@Walter Hinteler,
I suspect my side effects were bad because I was probably coming down with the flu when I got the shot. It just made it worse.

They used to tell us that a strong immune system causes strong reactions like that.

That's what my doctor said, he said that means it's working.

@jcboy,
Bummer. Hope you're on the mend.

We're booked for May 25th. The recommendation here is 140 days after the 3rd shot, but my folks (in their 90's) went yesterday, a few weeks early. Both of them sailed through it, but for my mom's sore arm this morning. I have a sister and an uncle who've also gone ahead with it. No complaints.

@Mame,
Some lot numbers have a very high proportion of adverse adverse events. You don't run an experiment without a control group.

@izzythepush,
Yep @ izzy.

Was just talking to a friend/neighbour who's 90 this September - we were going to go for lunch today but she got her 4th shot yesterday and is in a lot of discomfort/pain and said she got virtually no sleep. She's a feisty gal who does Tai Chi 5x/week and walks everywhere so when she cancels, it's not a minor thing. I'll drop by later with some lunch to see how she's doing. This was her first adverse reaction and she said that had she known, she wouldn't have gotten it.

@Mame,
Curious if these are the same vaccine or a different one from their other shots - I know you are ideally supposed to go and get the other vaccine for better protection - when I got my one booster I got the same. Reason being since I did not have a reaction from it before, I figured it was safer reaction-wise.

@Linkat,
I never mixed mine. All four were Pfizer.
