I ended up feeling better yesterday, but not 100%, and I figured as long as I’m a bit under the weather, I might as well get my booster and embrace the suck.  I’d put it off until after the marathon that didn’t happen, and then I didn’t want to get it while I was still feeling quite sick.  I got Moderna because all indications are that Moderna is the most effective, though also the choice that comes with the most side effects.

Thankfully, the side effects haven’t been nearly as bad as after my second shot.  After the second shot, I spent a few hours under the covers shaking with chills and fever, and spent about 24 hours the next day in a haze of fatigue and exhaustion.  This time, I felt maybe a touch feverish last night, but nothing major, and I’m tired and don’t feel awesome today, but I am recovering from a cold.

Have you had your booster?  How were the side effects compared to the second shot?

B also had zero side effects from her second shot.  Unfortunately, since L was sick, we passed on the second shot for her and are now trying to reschedule.  And trying to get a kids’ shot in Seattle is like the Hunger Games – practically impossible.
