I had the Pfizer vaccine about four weeks ago and as well as a very sore arm, I had a reaction that made me feel quite ill for a day. I felt as if I had flu, but it only lasted a day. I’ve never had a reaction to any other Covid vaccine before apart from a sore arm, and they were all Pfizer too. Anyway I was in direct contact with someone who had Covid recently and I didn’t get it, although I tested every day for a week, so the vaccine stood up for me.

I've had every booster on offer, and they've all been pfyzer apart from this last one which was moderna.
I had a similar (but milder I think) reaction to this last one whereas the other, Pfizer, ones just gave me a sore arm.
Someone told me the stronger the reaction, the stronger the protection.

??????????????????????

I have just had my 6th Covid vaccine ( only because we are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks ) and this time I have had a nasty reaction to it. Extreme fatigue, aches and pains and a sore arm. My husband is the same. Neither of us has ever reacted much before to the vaccines so I was just wondering if they are different now ? It was a Moderna spikevax bivalent. Any one else had this happen ?
