booster

I got my Covid booster shot at 11:45 yesterday. About 7 pm I started feeling the effects. It felt like I was coming down with the flu. Around 11:30 I got the chills. I spent the next three hours shivering under a pile of blankets on the couch. Went to bed around 3 am. Slept badly.

By morning I was very warm, head-achy, and not too steady. Called in sick to work. Of course one of my coworkers was on vacation, and the other missed a bunch of time taking care of his car that didn't start. I slowly recovered over the course of the day.

This surprised me because I never had much of a reaction to the first two shots (all Moderna). Cindy had a bad reaction to her second, but not the booster.

I got very sick for a couple of days from the booster, Pfizer. Of course I also had a flu shot at the same time, which had a really big reaction. Not much reaction to either last year's flue or the virus shots before.

Yeah, it's weird how different people have different reactions to different shots at different times.
