He's a healthcare worker, so he got the Pfizer booster today around noon I want to say. He also got his flu shot at the same time.

Just a general fatigue, "want to go to bed early" kind of thing. We were going to watch a movie together after I got home, but he was all done by 7p and dragging himself up to bed.

This tracks with how one of my Pfizer shots went back in April. Can't remember which one, but I got it at around 8:30a, and by 2p I was faceplanted into my pillow, oblivious to the world.

But he doesn't have any chills or fever or anything. He said he thought his arm will be sore tomorrow. We'll see. Mine was after my first shot as well.
