(129,121 posts)The technical "booster", which is 50ug for under 65s, and the "3rd (full) dose" of 100ug, generally recommended for 65+ and those who are immuno-compromised, etc. I expect those getting the full dose as their 3rd shot might have some reaction if they reacted previously, although it seems reactions vary from person to person. I got the smaller dose and had little reaction except the arm soreness lasted a bit longer than the original 2 full doses.

(129,121 posts)(taken from one of their powerpoint slides) but here it is as a FYI -
The update to the above would now include the 5+ age group and the reduction of time between the initial dose(s) and a "booster" (or "2nd dose" for Janssen (J&J) / "3rd dose" for Pfizer/Moderna) from 6 months apart to 2 months (Janssen (J&J) or 5 months (Pfiizer/Moderna) apart.
In the case of those getting 4 doses, the interval was 28 days+ (from the initial 2 doses) for the 3rd dose and then 5 months to a booster (or 4th dose).

(16,847 posts)I had a sore arm at the injection site and a stabbing pain in my back for some odd reason. The stabbing pain wasn't constant; I just felt it when I moved the arm backwards. But neither of those things were serious at all. It was pretty easy.
