Booster jab

[Frankiefocus]

Hi everyone, have any of you got your booster jab yet? If so did it give any side effects.?

[Snackjack]

Yes I had my Covid Booster Wednesday of last week, my arm from elbow to shoulder was a little painful for a couple of days and was tender for a couple more days, some fatigue, but nothing as bad as if I hadn't had the vaccines and caught COVID. I know none of it is guaranteed but we can only hope for the best.

I had the 3rd/booster jab a couple of weeks ago. They were only offering the Pfizer so it was a full dose. My arm was a bit sore for a few days but, compared to RD, it was a doddle and I hope it will be the same for you too

Yes,I had mine on Saturday. Pfizer. My arm was quite sore and I had 2 days of RA flare made worse by stopping all pain killers as it seems if you take high doses of NSAIDS it reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine a bit . I want to get the most from this one so I’m leaving my Mxt for a week too. Can’t wait to get back on the Brufen !

Yes, I had my 3rd vaccine two weeks ago, my first two were AZ and this time I had Pfizer. I had absolutely no reaction to the first two - not even a sore arm. This time I’ve had a sore arm, so maybe it’s done something! I had to skip a week of Methotrexate but I’ve not experienced any effects from doing that.

Yes I had my booster nearly a month ago. I had no reaction at all. After my first Astra Zeneca my RA got much worse and I could barely get out of bed. I was a bit nervous about the booster but it was a doddle. I had Pfizer. I stopped methotrexate two weeks before and two weeks after as I wanted a good antibody response and I’d read methotrexate spoils that. I was fine. No flare .

I was quite ill after first two AZ, headaches, flu type wipeout. This time after Pfizer I felt fine just a very sore arm and a bit more tired than usual. Brilliant.

Yes I had Pfizer as my third primary and had no problem

Hi,I had my booster 12 days ago. All 3 were pfizer, just a sore arm for a few days no side effects at all for all 3, I didn't stop any of my meds.

Had a bad flare after second dose of Astra Zennica. Having a less severe one now 10 days after Pfizer booster, but didnt omit Methotrexate or Benepali this time.

3rd jab last week. Sore arm for a couple of days, headache for a couple of days, nausea and tiredness. Trouble is I feel tired most of the time so not sure if jab or just the usual!! 🤔 Still worth having jab.

No only sore arm next day and unable to lift it.well worth it

[Ruth12345]

Yes had mine 10 days ago. Side effects minimal with a sore stiff arm for few days.

Hi Frankifocus Yeah, had my 3rd jab about 6 weeks ago. Pfizer after 2 previous Pfizer jabs - only stinging when it was done then dead and heavy arm for a couple of days. No other issues 😊

[Mumcon]

Yes I had mine last week along side Flu jab I was fine apart from a sore arm Hope you are the same when you get yours

[Thingybob]

I had a sore arm, tender for 2 weeks. Felt rough tbh headache , flare in my shoulder and wrists , fatigue and mouth ulcer and cold sore. But I did have my flu jab a week later so some of it could be due to that ? Had pfeizer . With the fist shots of AZ just felt flu like symptoms after both. I have reported via yellow card system.

Hopefully its given me some protection but ...?

Had a 3rd dose of Pfizer on Sunday, no problems at all. Flu jab and bloods tomorrow.
