I had Pfizer for my first three, slight reaction with 2nd one but only mild. Two weeks ago I had my 4th, Moderna and had quite a reaction, cold and shivery in the evening had to get a hot water bottle as I could not get warm, woke up during the night hot and clammy with a temperature, nausea, headache & aches & pains, really felt quite poorly. Gradually got better over the next couple of days. OH had no reaction as usual confused

So many jabs in one year, plus most people caught Covid as well! Glad I’m not old enough for the second booster.

Mr Gulli had his second booster on Tuesday morning (Moderna); apart from a bit of a headache on Tuesday evening which he was told to expect he's fine, no after-effects at all.

I had my second booster, Moderna, almost 48 hours ago and so far no reaction at all. I did sleep in until 9.30 am today which is very unusual, I am normally up with the lark. Still, if tiredness is the only problem I will live happily with that.

I haven't had mine yet, but a number of people I know had quite severe reactions to the second booster. You're not alone!

Has anyone had reaction to their second booster jab. I had AstraZenica for jabs then Pfizer for boosters. I had second one on Tuesday. Tuesday night chills, nausea, headache, sore arm etc. Still feeling nausea, bit of headache, listless. Am hoping it will all disappear soon!
