Covid Booster Side Effects

Jab number seven yesterday - and I am feeling a bit ropey this morning: headache, muscle ache and 'hungover'.

Nothing serious, and hopefully others will be fine. But I thought I would share, just for info. I'm going to go back to bed for a bit and hopefully wake up feeling better (the luxury of self employment).😁

Hi Winter Swimmer, I had exactly the same symptoms as you, I felt awful and even a week later I’m still ‘not quite right’. It’s the first time I’ve had such a bad reaction to a jab, but it helps to know I’m not the only one. Hope you (we ) feel better soon. X

Morning,

Just wondering which booster brand you had? Had my 7th jab 3 weeks ago. Pfizer. No reactions at all other than achy arm at injection point.

I have lupus, take Mtx and daily steroids.

Interesting……

It was an RNA one - and probably the one for both strands of Covid. I put the leaflet in the recycling bin this morning - and can't be bothered to fish it out. I have had all Pfizer or Moderna - and it will have been one of those I think.

Anyway - I am fine today, thank goodness.

Hi WinterSwimmer,

Yes ditto. This one (Pfizer) was a bit of surprise as previous ones were okay. Apart from the achy arm on injection site, I too felt pretty rough for a good week. Light headed, totally out of sorts and very tired. Now in 10th day things seem to be getting back to normal. Take care.

Hi WinterSwimmerSorry to hear you are feeling bad + hope you will feel better quickly. I am pleased you posted this as I was going to. I have been fine previously with the Pfizer vaccines. However, my latest Pfizer vaccine has caused me extreme debilitating fatigue resulting in sleeping in the afternoons and an overall flare. I only began to feel more normal yesterday- day 6. However, this morning my joints are painful again. It will be interesting to see how many others will say the same. I am wondering if the vaccine ingredients have changed ?

I had jab no 7 last Sunday. Apart from a sore arm at the injection site I’ve been fine. It was Moderna, tweaked a little for new variants. I also had the second dose of Shingrix at the same time. I was worried about getting them both together but I’ve been ok. Hope you feel better soon.

I had 5th jab of Pfizer no problem at all not even achy arm, however hubby had 7th and felt ‘unwell’ for a few days.

shows your immunity had dropped. I found my 4th one, which was the biggest gap between jabs gave the most reaction.

Do you think that could be it? I've been generally unwell since Christmas anyway - and although I am pretty much better, was a bit worried about having this jab just because I am sick of feeling less than chipper (again). My body seems to have done OK though - I feel more or less fine this morning and can cope with 24 hours of side effects for the sake of not dying of covid (or worse).

Hi all,

I am sorry to hear you are unwell. I hope you get better soon WinterSwimmer .

In my case, this is my fourth Pfizer vaccine because I did not want to take the previous Boosters. And the truth is that I have also felt bad. Tired, with a headache and pricks in my fingers and toes.

There are theories that say they contain a spike protein or snake venom or peptides, not that I believe it, but could someone offer a reliable source that contains the exact ingredients of the vaccines we take, please?

Enjoy the weekend 💜☀️🦋
