I received my Moderna booster about a month ago around 7:30 in the evening.

By the time I went to bed that night, I didn't feel so hot, and the following day I felt like shit from the moment I got out of bed. Body aches, very sore left arm (where the injection was made), mild nausea, chills, and fatigue.

By the morning of day #2, I was feeling 80% better, and by midday of day #2, I was feeling 100% better. So, the vast majority of the side effects abated within the first 36 hours.

I made sure I received my booster Friday evening because I suspected I'd feel like crap the following day, and I did not want to have to take a sick day.

My father received the Moderna booster a couple weeks before I did, and his symptoms were almost identical to my own.

I am much better now. I was still affected with nausea as late as last night. Pretty sure COVID would kill me if I wasn't vaccinated.

I received my Moderna booster and Flu shot yesterday morning, no side effects. None with the original doses.

Wife and I got the boosters last night, as she has gotten a little paranoid about this new variant that has popped up. I stuck with Moderna and she stuck with Pfizer. Besides slightly sore arms, we are fine.

Can’t tell some of the stupid redneck hillbillies (including some that have degree’s) that in my neck of the woods. I got COVID from my wife who got it from a co worker. All three of us were vaccinated. Actually had people laugh at me for getting it despite being vaccinated. These folks are way too stupid to figure out that it probably would have been way worse had i not been vaccinated (even my Doctor said that).

Had a sore arm for shot 1 and the booster (which was last week). Nothing for shot 2. Haven't been sick in forever. My fiancé and both kids had it; yesterday I tested before going to Hanukkah, still tested negative. I had no idea my immune system was THAT good.

Thank you to those that got your shots for doing your part.

Considering that I had to be put on oxygen due to a nasty upper respiratory infection over 20 months ago (3/18/20) to be exact and tested negative for COVID, I know for a fact that COVID would put me back in the hospital if I wasn't vaccinated(and maybe if I wasn't boosted). One's level of education normally parallels how they view this pandemic per several studies.
