(5,050 posts)I am such a whiny sick person and I tried the 'mind over matter' thing meaning I went into it saying to myself I won't have a reaction this time,,,, but,,,, the reality is that of the 6 covid shots I've had, I reacted to all but the first,,,, ohwell,,,, I am definitely better this morning
and I consider it a small price to pay for the protection. So far neither my Husband or I have had covid (that we know of)

(4,369 posts)Got mine a couple weeks after I got a flu shot. THAT one kicked my butt, for almost 2 days. Not just a sore arm, but mild flu symptoms, which did finally pass.
The RSV shot was a WHOLE LOT nicer. Not even a sore arm!
Next up: COVID booster. (Last jab was in June and my doctor said to get the new one).
Good luck!

(6,574 posts)feeling blah and a bit fluy, but next day was fine. Get it. My 4 year old grandson was extremely sick and in ICU last year for weeks.

(10,994 posts)The booster was a Pfizer. I felt like I had the flu for about 4 days total. Chills, feverish, coughing, achy, the whole nine yards.
But I got better.
