...got the flu vax 2 weeks later in same arm and had sore arm then too...for exactly 2 days.

No soreness with #1 or #2

nothing i couldnt handle with a bit of Tylenol taken after the shot and better than the alternative for sure...

as I did with the first shot (achy, fever between 99-100, fatigue). The difference was the second day, my arm was incredibly sore, much worse than the first two. But, I also had my flu shot, so that could be the reason. I had them on Monday morning, and by Wednesday morning, all symptoms were gone. The second shot kicked my ass for several weeks, so I’m counting this as a big positive.

Definitely had a stronger reaction to the booster than with my previous shots. Tired, achey…yuk for about a day and a half. Worth it!

Yw! I'd forgotten about vsafe until Fri. night, hours after booster.

And, of course, forgot my treasured vax card. Pharmacist said no problem. She printed new stickers in 2 min & made a new card.
