Well I've had the second AZ jab this week and no big deal.  The hospital was a bit busier as they progress through the list of eligible people.  I was a priority group so jumped the queue. 

Mean while I decided to pull the plug on it all and recently retired.  So no more daily contact with suspect people  :)  Happy days.

I was mistaken in my first post, one member of my family had the Moderna shot. She and several of her neighbors and friends who got that one had varying degrees of discomfort after the second one, mostly aches and pains and feeling extremely tired afterwards. For some reason most of the people I know that got Pfizer had much milder after effects or none at all.
It's been several months now and still no tail or second head growing on me.

Got my Pfizer booster vaccination on Oct. 14 .
I knew before I left the vaccination site, that I was going t have issues .
Pain at the injection site, no other issues the rest of the day .
Next morning Oct. 15, all my joints ached, injection site swollen red felt hot and quite painful, left shoulder was hot, like I had fever there .
Sick to my stomach and didn't eat much .
About 11:30 AM it felt like a switch was turned on and felt like I had a bad case of the flu, this lasted around 7 hours .
Oct. 16th, felt great .
Oct. 17 back to feeling like I had the flu .
Oct 18 and 19 felt great !!

Bob,........... the reactions you are having are  quite severe. I had no reaction at all with both shots other than  soreness at the injection site. If the booster comes around I will get that one too. I made up my mind early on about the issue of to vaccinate or not. At past 75 and a smoker with lung issues it put me in the kill zone on all the charts. Odds wise, I thought it was a no brain'r for me.  I'll check with the County folks here in Ca to see if they are doing boosters and get in line.

A few days discomfort Vs "kill zone" is all about the odds and is a no brainer for me as well.

My wife had some similar effects Bob and my sis had to have antihistamines, glad you are feeling better now. Mum - 87- no issues.

The boss at work has been double jabbed and got covid a few weeks ago. He just felt rough for a few days. It's still russian roulette if you are not jabbed and that country is still suffering because of a lack of jabs in arms.

I finally broke down and got the J&J shot a couple month ago and the grandkid brought covid home the first week of school and gave it to all of us anyway.  That was about one month after getting jabbed...
