I'm scheduled for 11/3- the day before my bday- hopefully I do not feel crummy the next day. I was tired and had a headache after my first two but nothing terrible, and Moderna is a half dose for the booster so hopefully won't be too bad. I have had a lot more exposure in the recent weeks due to increasing case numbers and me being assigned to help with TTS, etc., so I definitely want to make sure I am as protected as possible. I think I am the first in my cohort who wants to get a booster. 1 Likes More Like This Traumatized from previous health scares by Chelseaannb Does the federal Covid mandates apply to homecare nurses? by Iluvnightshift U.S. - Free At-Home COVID tests available for order now by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN Docs & Nurses = Murderers by PMFB-RN, RN A Little Rant And Some Failures by JBMmom, MSN, NP

The worst side effect from those was a sore arm! I got Pfizer on Friday because it was all the had. Other than it stinging during the injectioni (Moderna did not), I had NO side effects. Not even the sore arm! 1 Likes

Kitiger, RN Specializes in Private Duty Pediatrics. Has 43 years experience. 1,593 Posts Oct 26, 2021 I got my third Pfizer shot on 9-27-21, along with my second Shingles shot, and my flu shot. I had a bit of a headache and a temp of 100.3 that evening. I took Tylenol and slept well, and was only a little weary the next day. The arm that was used for the shingles and flu shots was red, sore, and felt "thick" from the inflammation. It took 3 or 4 days for that to go down. The arm that got the COVID shot was fine. 1 Likes

No fever this time but fierce muscle aches, fatigue, and headache. Edited Oct 27, 2021 by JenTheSchoolRN 0 Likes

k1p1ssk, BSN, RN Specializes in pediatrics, school nursing. Has 11 years experience. 610 Posts Oct 28, 2021 I got a third full dose of Moderna in mid-September due to being immunocompromised... Side effects were worse than the second for sure; All the same muscle/body aches, headache, dizziness, chills, with some added nausea and a lovely dose of SOB thrown in for good measure. The SOB was actually scary - it would resolve after sitting down for a few minutes, but the chest tightness was real! Now I'm seeing they're recommending people in my position get an actual lower-dose booster 6months after the 3rd full dose! 0 Likes
