Hubby got his moderna booster yesterday. [View all]

Now I am NOT against the vaccine or the booster in any way, I am curious if anyone had side effects from the booster? He didn't have any with the first two shots. This one, he has been in bed all day, totally wiped out. Now, with that said, even he said "it beats the hell out of covid" and he works with students so it is important for him to be protected. My symptoms from the booster were very mild. Just wondering if we should call a doctor about this? I have just been pushing fluids, and trying not to bother him.
