I had a significant ache in my shot arm on the first round of Pfizer. Plus I was up, jazzed up for most of the night. Second one? Virtually nothing. The booster gave me body aches and fatigue, as in the sleep of the dead Wednesday night. The good thing is that all of the reactions are short-lived. Even for my son who had a 3-5 day fatigue reaction.

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
