Has anyone here received their second booster shot?

[Poiuyt]

Were there any issues from the provider/pharmacy such as confusion about who is allowed to get it?

Did you have any reaction that was different from any of your other covid shots?

thx

[drray23]

1. yes no no nt.

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. Not yet

But I got an e-mail from my doctor's office telling me they have it. I have an appointment sometime this month so I'll ask about it and since I'm in the recommended age group (50+) I guess I'll go ahead and get it. Being a former healthcare worker I generally take these things pretty seriously.

3. Yes, No, and No.

As with all the previous, very very mild discomfort at the site disappeared after a few hours. Nothing else, even though I refrained from my usual NSAIDs for a demolished ankle 3 days prior and 3 days following the doses to maximize the immune response. I know many have more reactivity following receiving a dose/booster. I just don't.

[ShazzieB]

4. I'm getting mine tomorrow. I'll post afterwards.

[Auggie]

5. Yes

No confusion. Moderna on top of the J&J.

Slightly sore throat (since gone). Its only been 24 hours though.

[Rebl2]

6. Got mine in mid

February because of medications I take that suppress my immune system. Had no problems getting it or reaction to it.

[GPV]

7. J&j made me ill, Pfizer did not, will know tomorrow how

Moderna is.

No troubles but I qualify in multiple ways.

8. Got my 2nd Moderna booster yesterday. Pretty wiped out today.

I think the Moderna shot typically hits people harder than the Pfizer shot. My first booster was Pfizer and it was pretty mild.

My first two shots were Moderna, with the first considerably more taxing than the second. I'd put this booster shot in between those first two shots in terms of side effects.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. I Was The Opposite

All Moderna here, too!
My side effects were by order of shot: mild for a couple hours, substantial for around 14 hours, barely anything.
My second was like your first, and vice versa.

9. Not myself, but I know someone who had a reaction on their 4th shot

This is in the UK; they had 2 Astra Zeneca , then a Pfizer booster, and, a week ago, a Moderna booster. No reaction to the first three, but they got a small fever and aches from the Moderna.

[OnDoutside]

10. Sort of, and discomfort around where the needle went in for about 48 hours.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yes. I wasn't as sick as I was with the first three shots.

Symptoms milder and only lasted a day.

No problems getting the 2nd booster.

[NightWatcher]

12. Got it this morning from a grocery chain pharmacy. No problems so far

[likesmountains 52]

13. Got my second booster Wednesday.

All doses have been Pfizer. My arm was quite sore for about 25 hours, but otherwise no problem. I walked in at the local vaccination site, no questions asked.

[Nittersing]

14. Got mine this morning... about 7 hrs ago

My first three (provided by Kaiser) were Moderna, which I had no issue with. I opted for Pfizer this time at my local Safeway. Don't even have a sore spot on my arm.

I filled out an online form before going. The only question at the store was did I want Moderna or Pfizer.

[MuseRider]

15. Going in soon so I do not know about reactions

but I do know the pharmacy is ready and willing to give out a second booster. They have them and they will continue to keep a supply they said.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

16. Got mine yesterday, same as all, sore arm for a day, feel fine, no prob at pharm, in n out

Made online appt, no wait, no line, been 6 months since last dose, all Moderna, mix n matching not for me

[USALiberal]

17. Yes, Hy-Vee, no side effects

[getagrip_already]

18. I got a second booster, no serious sides.....

Pretty much the same as the first three shots. Just some fatigue for a day.

[Raftergirl]

19. Just back from getting mine.

At CVS. Signed up this morning. Filled out forms and checked in all online.

Got Moderna again.

Nothing so far but expect I’ll feel crummy tomorrow.

[Ocelot II]

20. Tomorrow. No problems scheduling on-line at Walgreens.

Last time I got a sore arm and was tired for a couple of days; will update after this one.

[doc03]

21. I asked at Kroger yesterday and was told they thought they would have them, but they are

waiting for some other group to OK it.

[Towlie]

22. Got mine yesterday at a Walgreens drug store in South Florida. No problems, same as the first three.

Now my CDC card is full. I wonder what happens when I'm ready for the next shot.

[MLAA]

25. I'm guessing it's like a passport where they add another page/card 🙂

[MLAA]

24. Yes, yes and no.

I got mine yesterday. I was able to get my husband’s and sister’s scheduled for Tuesday. When I tried making my appointment the appointment app kept telling me it was too soon. Husband/sister are older so they got their first booster about a month before I qualified. Prior to Tuesday the guidance was you had to wait 5 months, it had been 4 for me and 5 for them. I figured the pharmacy would update their apps in a day or two and they did, so I retried registering and got an appt for yesterday.

Same, very same, side effects for me and husband. He has had zero effects after 4 shots. I have had had painful arm, chills and fatigue. I expect I will start feeling better tomorrow. Small price to pay for additional protection ❤️

[Meowmee]

26. I had only one booster

I am discussing it with my hematologist before getting shot 4. I had a worse reaction to shot 3 so I am worried about 4. All pfizer so far.

[Evergreen Emerald]

27. my doctor says its not available yet.

[Askov_Finlyson]

28. Easy-peasy!

I made my appointment on line, filled the questionnaire online, and went to the pharmacy and they were ready for me. No side effects and very little arm pain on this one. Now Bill Gates can continue to track me (he must be getting bored by now).

[ananda]

29. Yes, Moderna half dose on Wed morning. Mild reaction.

Just a sore arm and that pain is 80% gone already.

[cbabe]

30. Yes no no as walk-in at local Safeway.

[BlueNProud]

31. I did way back in Feb and I had no problem with it at all.

[wishstar]

32. Self, spouse and three friends have all gotten ours easily at CVS with no glitches

I had sore arm, slight fever and fatigue just for one day but nothing problematic. No one else had any reaction besides slight sore arm.

Spouse and I got ours a couple weeks ago as immunocompromised while our friends got theirs yesterday under new guidelines. All at CVS. One friend was Moderna while the rest of us got Pfizer.

[2golddogs]

33. Fourth shot

I got mine Wednesday morning, I booked it Tuesday afternoon at a local pharmacy right after I read about it on a thread here. There is some confusion as to whether it’s available for anyone over 50 with co-morbidities or only immunocompromised people. I was honest and only got a raised eyebrow. I do work in a medical setting with direct and indirect contact with elderly and vulnerable patients. My reaction was slightly sore arm and fatigue the next day. I’d say overall it was a milder reaction than my other shots, maybe because I knew what to expect, I’m not sure.

[jeffreyi]

34. Yes.

Today. No issues.

[Leith]

35. I got the second booster Wednesday

No appointment, walked right in. The first 3 were Pfizer, got Moderna this time.

Reaction? Wednesday I was fine.

Woke up around 4am Thursday morning, achy, sore, and nauseated. Went back to sleep for a couple more hours. Everything except the nausea continued through most of Thursday morning. I felt like death rolled over rocks.

I'm happy to hear that most everyone here had very little reaction, but hubby & I were wrapped in blankets on the sofa switching between boring YouTube videos all day. Mom-in-law got the same shot and had no reaction.

[Liberal In Texas]

36. Me. Yesterday.

Filled out info online on CVS site. Made appointment. Walked right in, pharmacist saw me and greeted me by name. Took about 5 minutes. Didn't even feel the shot.

Other than a little bit of soreness where the needle went in that is now gone, no side effects so far.

[ShazzieB]

37. I had my fourth shot today.

This one was Moderna (the other three were Pfizer). The other times my only reaction was moderate arm soreness. This time, nothing so far, but it's early yet.

[LuckyCharms]

38. Yes, Pfizer. At a location staffed by people from

the county health department.

Less than 24 hours after FDA approval was announced.

There was a lot of confusion, even after I registered online the night before.

The woman who gave me the shot had to make a phone call to see if I was eligible, presumably to the health department.

All four vaccines kicked my ass, hard. This latest one had an additional symptom of nausea. and the symptoms seem to be lasting longer. Got the shot Weds at 430pm, still not feeling 100% yet early Sunday morning. No big deal though, I was expecting it.

[Emile]

39. I was going on Monday, but it appears I caught a chest cold. I'll wait

until I feel better!
