I got my Moderna booster yesterday-this is my 8th COVID vaccination

[LetMyPeopleVote]

The injection site is a little tender but no other adverse effects

[Duncanpup]

1. I'll get mine with flu shot

[SheltieLover]

2. Same here, Dunc & pneumonia booster

[debm55]

4. Sheltie, I got all three at the same time. I was sick doing it that way. Might be just me. But will get the moderna on

its own and then the other two.

[SheltieLover]

6. Might be different this time but I had all 3 together 2 yrs ago.

Sorry to hear you got sick.

[wordstroken]

21. What you're describing is exactly what happened to me.

And I almost never get sick. Strong immune system. Haven’t gotten Covid. Don’t get colds. And previous Covid shots had almost no reaction, just a sore arm.

But getting multiple shots last time threw me for a loop.

So, like you, I’ll get my Moderna booster “on its own” this time, too.

[PeaceWave]

25. I'm a Pfizer man. I won't do Moderna. Too many bad stories.

[LisaL]

31. I've had both Moderna and Pfizer.

Both were fine. The new booster I got today was Pfizer, but that is because that's what pharmacy had. I would have gotten Moderna if they had that.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

35. My oldest child was in the pfzier trial

He is now taking the Moderna because it has more of the active ingredient.

[central scrutinizer]

46. My first five were Pfizer, last two Moderna

Getting #8 tomorrow, don’t know which one. No problems with either other than a sore arm for a couple days. Plus I had covid in July, 2022. So tomorrow will be the ninth immune system booster.

[Duncanpup]

8. ?

I wonder I’m 58 should I get pneumonia shot I’m not sure Sheltie lover.

[tavernier]

11. Yes.

I got pneumonia in my early 50’s and it wasn’t fun. After the 2 shot series I haven’t even had a cold.

[Duncanpup]

15. Thank you

[Hugin]

12. You should check into it...

Pneumonia is a secondary complication of so many things.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

40. My internist gave me Prevnar 20 about 18 months ago

I asked on the patient portal and was told that this was a one-time shot.

[Duncanpup]

45. Thank you

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. I got my flu shot last week

They did not have the COVID vaccines available until this week and so I got the flu shot out of the way first

[SheltieLover]

3. Good for you, LMPV!

How did you manage 8?

I've only had 3...

[Wednesdays]

5. I'll get the next Covid booster when it comes out in September

That will probably be number 8. I've lost count.

[SheltieLover]

9. I guess I've missed some.

Perhaps the 3 I got are still providing immunity although I wear 3M N95 medical grade masks when in public.

Thx for sharing!

[LisaL]

32. The new booster just came out so you can get that if you want to.

Pharmacies already have it.

[LisaL]

30. The new booster is already out.

That's what I got today.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

36. I am considered high risk due to COPD and type II Diabetes

[SheltieLover]

39. Glad you are able to get permission for extras to protect you!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. I am also over 65 which helps

[SheltieLover]

43. I only thought I took a pass on one dose

I'm over 65 as well.

[Hugin]

7. My last three vaccinations in the...

Post-peak era have been such non-events. I even gritted my teeth and braved a double.

A tetanus booster that has historically been a day out for me was nothing. Not even a sore spot where the jab was unless I touched it.

Certainly, some of the credit goes to the staff of my regular vaccination parlor. They are top notch at their skill.

[SheltieLover]

10. I had tdap with one covid vax as well

I was expecting to be really sore, but nothing. Just slight tenderness at injection site.

[Ms. Toad]

13. Not looking to my ninth.

They hit me hard. Fever of 103, plus a few days of exhaustion. I switched to Moderns for #8, so at least I don't get debilitating headaches for two months - at least I didn't with the first one.

I'll get #9 in late October, early November, in preparation for being on stage for the December musical (when I'm on stage, unmasked).

[LisaL]

33. I just read that Novavax was also approved for a booster.

Novavax is a protein based vaccine and supposedly has less side effects. I do fine with mRNAs so I am not concern about side effects that much.

[Coexist]

14. mine + flu shot is scheduled for next week :)

[ananda]

16. I'm getting mine Wednesday.

Happy smiley

[DoBW]

17. Stay healthy every one we need you

Dems da facts, jack

[Joinfortmill]

18. I've lost count, but I think you're ahead of me.

[Generic Brad]

19. Me too!

I also got my flu shot in the same appointment. Zero side effects!

[samsingh]

20. That's good!

Stay safe.

[iluvtennis]

22. Good stuff! Plan to make an appointment with Walgreens for next week. n/t

[DemonGoddess]

23. I got the

booster (Moderna), flu and pneumonia shots today. The Moderna was in one arm, and the other two in the other arm. So far, not feeling off, or even sore.

[PeaceWave]

24. OP, you aren't anywhere near the record. Some dude in Germany got 217 Covid shots.

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-68477735

Personally, I think he thought the phlebotomist was pretty and wanted to ask her out on a date but kept losing his nerve. So, he just kept going in for more vaccinations. It's a theory.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. I am not trying for any record

I am high risk and so far I have not had COVID

[TBF]

26. I'm glad they are out -

I got my last one in June (my 8th - I had an extra one early on) ... immune-suppressed so I keep up w/them. But I know this one is new formula so I will get it in Sept or Oct.

I also need to do my 2nd shingles and flu vaccines, so I'll be adding them to a couple of upcoming doctor's visits in September.

[LisaL]

28. I got Pfizer today.

I will get the flu vaccine later. I think it's better to get the flu vaccine later because the flu season usually starts later.

[Johonny]

29. On my to do list.

Probably do it next week

[ProfessorGAC]

41. Me, Too

Perhaps tomorrow. I'm starting to sub in the new school year so I should add the protection. Probably flu shot, too.

[Emile]

37. Waiting for our Health Department to get Moderna vaccine.

Wife called yesterday and they thought early October before getting some in. She called two local drugstores and no vaccine there either.

They have the respiratory vaccine (RSV) in, so probably will get that shot along with the flu shot before we get the COVID vaccine.

[retread]

44. Wife and I got the new pfizer booster Wednesday. I was feeling kind of funky Thursday and Friday and had

the usual sore arm.

We put off flu shot until late September or early October.

[BrightKnight]

47. Insurance covered it on Friday and it would be about $200 without.

I hope there are ways for uninsured people to get it.
