I got the Pfizer Bivalent booster on Wednesday.
Sore arm, which is almost gone, and some fatigue that is lingering.
My husband and I both went to Walmart Pharmacy. Of course, he never gets any reaction to any vaccination and I always get something to whatever they give me. I had only had Pfizer and he had only had Moderna before (2 + 2 boosters each). The nurse was very attentive and even spent a good deal of time talking with me afterwards when I was anxious about having side effects. I am so relieved that we went. We made appointments online and there was no waiting.
While we were there, I asked the pharmacist about getting free test kits. We're both on Medicare, so he said we can each get 4 kits (2 tests in each kit) every month. He loaded us up with a total of 8 kits!
In case anyone thinks this is over the top, you never know when you'll be needing them. We had a house guest show up with Covid in July. At that point, we had all our free kits from the post office. Suddenly, we had 3 people testing very often and we used up all our kits in no time. I bought more online before my husband went to Walgreens and brought home his 4 free kits that day. We've sort of slacked since then, but now are deciding we'd better stock up again.
We still mask up wherever we go, and we don't go to very many places. I can tell you that when we got our shots, we were the only people we saw anywhere in the store, besides the nurse and the pharmacist, who were masked. It's just not a thing anymore. No one has confronted us about it, for which I am thankful.

I'm not allowed to get more than one vaccination within a month. I reacted badly to a flu shot last year, so doc is not even sure I should get one this year. Still, I might try next month.
Most of my friends get them both at the same time, feel a little tired for a day, and then are set. I think it's a great idea if you can do it!
We have no problems finding appointments, probably because we're in an area where people don't want to get vaccinations. My friend waited for hours at Walgreens last week, with an appointment, but there was no wait for us at Walmart. 
Good luck!
Glad you did so well!
Actually, every muscle in my body hurt and I was too fatigued to even watch tv. It lasted about 24 hours. Still, it’s a small thing compared to getting Covid.
