I got mine about 5 hours ago and I'm feeling light-headed and just a bit nauseous. I just took some ibuprofen, hopefully that'll help.

Her arm was only sore if she touched the injection site.
Ive had 3 Pfizers. The second caused me to sleep on the couch for about 3 hours the afternoon I had it, but no impact from the others. And even though I never nap, I didnt consider an afternoon snooze a negative

(5,246 posts)Sore arm, tired and achy. Went to bed and was fine the next day. Much like flu shot reaction. Good luck!

Seems to be worst the next day, better the second day and gone the third after the shot. So you could probably plan to spend most of tomorrow sleeping or laying on the couch feeling like crap.

(12,410 posts)Next day sore arm. Today itchy arm but fine otherwise.
I received my Moderna booster today at 2:30. No pain or issues at all until around 7:00 tonight when my arm felt very sore, I had a little nausea, and I developed a headache.
I expected some effects simply because I had about 3 days of aches and pains, headache, arm soreness, and fatigue with both of my Moderna shots. This doesmt feel as bad, but that makes sense to me as apparently the booster is half the strength of the vaccine dose.
I also feel very tired and actually fell asleep right after dinner. But maybe that's just because I didnt sleep well last night.....or because I'm getting old!...Lol
I will check in later to see how you are feeling. I hope the ibuprofen helped.

(146,341 posts)but the day after that, I felt fine. Some people, however, are reporting somewhat more severe side effects.
Fever during two days after the shot, and a Moderna arm that lasted about a week.
