Are you mixing your covid shots?

[iemanja]

I was vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, but now I've decided to get Moderna for my booster. My thinking is that I may be able to benefit from a greater level of immunity by including Moderna, particularly since some studies have shown the Pfizer is more susceptible to waning over time.

What are you all doing?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Had both Modernas. Pfizer booster on Oct.14th. Flu shot Sept.,30th.

No side effects from the Pfizer booster.

2. My son had the first two pfizers. I had the first two modernas. We both got the

moderna boosters. Sonny had no complaints with his booster. I had a bit more arm stiffness right after my booster than I'd noticed before but some vigorous arm and
shoulder exercise took care of that. I was pretty tired the day after and nothing else
beyond that.

3. Had both Pfizer's and received Moderna for booster

Full dose, not the 1/2 portion.

No issues, only a little tired first 24 hrs and sore arm in area of injection.

My antibodies, T cells and B cells were reviewed and they were amazing through the roof.

That was in Summer as part of research on heterologous vaccines. I knew already this summer that the Moderna booster was the way to go compared to the homologous vaccine boosters and the results from Comirnaty as booster to Moderna original vaccinations.

Was tested again each month thereafter and still very high protection after 4 months.

23. I hope my results are as good. nt

4. Had J & J in March, Moderna booster 2 weeks ago

Supposedly that’s the best combination with J & J. Felt pretty crappy (chills and aches) the next day, fine the day after that. I feel invincible but still mask up when shopping.

[MurrayDelph]

13. Except for the chills

my story is the same, down to the dates.

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. Had my Moderna booster yesterday.

Chills and weak as hell all day today.

[Freddie]

28. You should feel better tomorrow

I had virtually no reaction, just a mild headache, to the J & J.

[Haggard Celine]

5. Had Moderna for all 3 shots.

Just had a sore arm a couple times, nothing else.

[Raven123]

6. Moderna booster 1/2 the dose used in the study on mixing vaccines.

No one knows what will happen months after the booster.

[iemanja]

7. Does one get to choose between half and full dose?

[Raven123]

22. If you sign up for a "booster" I believe you get the booster dose

[Silent3]

8. Has the final decision been issued for booster shots for anyone 18 and over?

I heard that was in the works, but I'm not sure if I'm personally eligible yet or not.

My first two shots were Moderna, but, yes, from what I've heard mixing is a good thing, so I'll ask for a Pfizer booster.

[iemanja]

9. I qualify under "underlying medical conditions"

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/underlyingconditions.html#:~:text=1%20Cancer%202%20Cerebrovascular%20disease%203%20Chronic%20kidney,and%20recent%20pregnancy%209%20Smoking%2C%20current%20and%20former

There is more on that list that one might think.

[Demsrule86]

17. In Ohio anyone can get a booster by saying their job is dangerous. And all jobs are dangerous

because you might catch Covid. Hubs got his booster from CVS...no issues. I got one too.

[Wicked Blue]

10. 3-P

Triple Pfizer

[iemanja]

11. May I ask

what led you to make that choice? Or did you get your booster before mixing was authorized?

[Wicked Blue]

12. I didn't have any side effects with the first two except for being very tired

Since I've been in a lot of physical pain for the past 2 1/2 months from a torn/pulled/whatever hamstring, I didn't want to get flu-like side effects that might make the pain worse.

[iemanja]

15. makes sense. nt

[Demsrule86]

16. My doctor said to mix them as it offered greater immunity so I did...I had moderna and had Phizer

for the booster.

[GumboYaYa]

18. I had J&J and got a Pfizer booster.

My reaction was same to both, extremely sore arm for a few days, night sweats and a low grade fever one day after the shot.

[Xavier Breath]

19. Yep, we mixed.

The wife and I both had Moderna for rounds one and two back in April but went with Pfizer for round three last week. We both had slight reactions to the Pfizer shots but nothing serious.

[Celerity]

20. sorta, all 3 were Moderna but the initial 2 were the experimental Beta (South African) variant tweak

and the booster 5 months later was the experimental Delta variant tweaked stick

all 3 were at 100 mcg, so full load doses

wifey and I have been in a multifaceted study here in Sweden for ages and volunteered for variant jabs trials

we had origin strain COVID in April or very early May 2020, completely asymptomatic, and no real effects post initial 2 jabs, but at Delta tweaked booster was a blaster for a day and half, especially the first night

sick AF, but then by next night all effects had poofed, thank fuck

I have posted on all this already before

[Revanchist]

21. I take whatever the VA gives me

I'm not sure if you can even choose through them. They tell me to come in and I come in they poke me in the arm 😆

[madinmaryland]

24. I tend not to mix liquor with beer or wine. Nasty headache. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

[ProfessorGAC]

25. We Did Not

Circumstances resulted in my wife getting Pfizer & me getting Moderna. At the time of the first vax, she was 65, I was not, therefore ineligible for Phase 1b.
But, being active as a substitute teacher did make me eligible. A school in the next county over put me on their staff list.
Now, the boosters are broadly enough available, that my wife could go to the CVS here in town, and I went to a CVS in a town about 10 miles north.
It wasn't inconvenient to stay with where we started.
But, if getting Moderna meant driving an hour each way, I probably would have gone Pfizer.

[iemanja]

26. I was able to pick the vaccine

when I scheduled my appointment, so I chose Moderna. I get it next Wed. The place is less than a mile from here. I just hope I'm not out of commission on Thursday.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. I Had A Slight Response...

...that lasted about 4 hours.
My response to the second shot was 4 times more assertive, and lasted 14 hours.
But, I was full function both times, anyway.

[beaglelover]

29. I got Moderna shots initially and got a Pfizer booster today.

We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

[demtenjeep]

30. first two Moderna....booster-Pfizer

I would go back to get a moderna vax if I thought it would let me
