Pfizer booster news. Got the booster (3rd shot) yesterday and not so much as a sore shoulder
this time and no other side effects. How’s that compare with other DU folks?

1. my booster gave me sore arm for exactly 2 days...on the 3rd day no soreness at all..
...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... |

4. I had about the same reaction..
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.

8. My booster
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!

9. Got mine on Monday. Felt a little tired the next day. That may have been
because I was tired.

12. Awesome!!!
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. ![]() |

14. Got mine yesterday afternoon. Just a mildly sore arm.
The main side effect is the smile on my face!

15. Got mine on Tuesday and my arm was way, way, way sore. It still is. I had mild soreness with the
other two but this one was a real killer. Still having to take ibuprofen for it. Hope that means it's working.
