No negative side effects.
Her arm was only sore if she touched the injection site.
I’ve had 3 Pfizer’s. 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 didn’t consider an afternoon snooze a negative

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

I figured Sunday would be horrible, but I had virtually no reaction to either.

He was pretty tired Friday night and Saturday, and his arm was mildly sore, but it didn’t effect his activities.

So far nothing. Arm is sore, but similar to a flu shot so far.

Here are a lot of posts https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215980959 and similar posts from pfizer booster https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181575346

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.

My mother wasn't so lucky and experienced a lot of fatigue after the shots.

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.
