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.

lifelearningrn, BSN, RN 2,534 Posts Specializes in School Nursing. Has 9 years experience. Oct 26, 2021 I got mine last Friday. My first 2 were Moderna in late December and January. 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!

Jedrnurse, BSN, RN 2,776 Posts Specializes in school nurse. Has 31 years experience. Oct 26, 2021 Got my Moderna booster this past Friday after school. Got pretty sick on Saturday afternoon, similar to my reaction to the second dose.
Kitiger, RN 1,787 Posts Specializes in Private Duty Pediatrics. Has 44 years experience. 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.

No fever this time but fierce muscle aches, fatigue, and headache.

k1p1ssk, BSN, RN 710 Posts Specializes in pediatrics, school nursing. Has 12 years experience. 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!
