My son is also in the original Pfzier trial and got his first round of shots back in August of last year. My son thinks that he got the booster and not the placebo in that he has been running a fever and his arm hurts for the last two days. This is similar to but slightly more severe than what he felt after his second Pfzier shot

I am tempted to go off label and get a third shot

Doses were greater. Antibody levels were not. LisaL Jul 2021 #16
