covid booster and anecdotal info on covid breakthroughs

[orange79]

They spent 1-2 minutes reviewing my card to make sure that I was eligible from a medical perspective (eg I had waited the appropriate 6 months), but they were generally thankful that I was there receiving the booster.

Yup. Same here.

well ended up getting 3 pfizer doses (was way easier to book), instead of a booster of moderna. Hope it was the right call, kinda second guessing a bit. Any doctors wanna weigh in?

Well I got the J&J in April, Covid in September and now the Moderna booster today. Pretty sure I'm indestructible now.

From what I've heard, it isn't a big deal. You MAY be a bit a bit more protecting mixing, but it isn't substantial.

Third Pfizer dose this week. I was expecting modest to no reaction- boy was I wrong. 36 hours of fever, chills, exhaustion. Much worse than the second dose. Small price to pay to keep myself and my family healthy.

Out of curiosity I asked the pharmacist whether they had been busy with boosters (this was immediately before the FDA/state opened the floodgates). She said I was the 25th appointment that day, and it was barely noon. Sounds like the pace is picking up.

Get your booster now and ride a wave of sweat, sweat antibodies safely through the holidays.

My 3 adult sons (age-wise at least ) will all have their boosters by the end of the weekend. 3 different states, NY, Texas and California too. Their mom is such an annoying nag by the way.

we got ours wed.. a day of feeling blah/tired with a slight headache. arm still sore a couple days later. but really if the weather had been decent would have been outside and probably not noticed it as much but this time of year just sitting around it was more noticeable.

Third Moderna shot yesterday. Just feeling tired and lethargic today. Luckily no fever, chills or body aches. Slight headache for a little while.

Getting my first Moderna jab/booster next week. I was a pfizer guy, but I really like variety. Getting pretty excited!!!

Got my pfizer booster yesterday. No issues so far other than some fatigue and sore arm. A good day to use the fireplace.

Wife had her Pfizer booster on Thursday. Yesterday she was down for the count with body aches and chills. She seems a bit better today.

I'm getting the J&J booster tomorrow after my initial two rounds of Pfizer. Hoping I don't suddenly develop an urge to purchase Jets season tickets.

Curious on your thinking of going with the J&J.

I've read in a lot of places that going with a vaccine other than your initial brand may provide a somewhat enhanced immune response, and that it's perfectly safe to mix and match vaccines. Many seem to be recommending this strategy, so I thought I'd give it a go.

That's true. I read the mix and match data and went with a Pfizer booster to my Moderna vaccines.

Appears all 18+ are now eligible for the booster.

Had my moderna booster yesterday morning. No issues other than a sore arm so far. Quite a nice little lump. Took some tylenol and that appears to be helping. Now we will see if I can still hoop tonight.

The J&J booster I received Monday afternoon kicked my ass from Monday night through most of Tuesday. No complaints. I'll gladly get in line if and when another round is necessary.
