My booster was really rough too. Much worse than the 1st or 2nd shot, knocked me out for a full day after.

What date is the 11th hubskiversary?

Which booster did you get? I'm getting a third Moderna on December 5th. The first was nothing though the second was rough for 36 hours.

Last year's 10th hubskiversary meetup was Dec 10th. I'm not sure if that was held on the specific 10th anniversary or a few days off. As to when the video call for this year is, I don't know yet but it'll be around the 15th probably. Gotta watch my schedule when we get closer.

Same for me. Nothing for 1 or 2, then 3 made every single joint in my body feel swollen. Didn't want to move.

What brand y'all get?

b_b  ·  1099 days ago  ·  link  ·  

All three Pfizer.

My first two were moderna. Booster Pfizer. Like the others said, achy joints, feverish, chills, and a pounding headache.

I'm OG Moderna too... and I kinda want to stick with the brand if I can.. because you know... I know those crackpot scientists say you can get any booster, but I've done my own research. I'm no sheep...

I got Pfizer. Very similar response to b_b. My joints felt swollen and very, very sore. I had a massive headache for about 12 hours, and felt dehydrated for most of the next day despite keeping up on my fluids. My arm soreness was actually worse with 2nd shot compared to the booster.

thanks for the info - I hope to get the booster shortly - and just kinda curious what I'm up against.

Go Moderna. I had no ill effects at all. Same with GQ and ecib.
