Received my Moderna booster yesterday... [View all]

... in my left arm (half-dose since I'm not immunocompromised) and a flu vaccine in my right arm.

About 23 hours have passed since the shots and, despite half the dosage compared to my second Moderna shot, the side-effects are already stronger from the Moderna booster compared to the second dose from over 6 months ago.

I'm more tired than last time, but I've also experienced chills unlike last time. And I have a slight fever already, which took over 24 hours to happen with the second dose.

The soreness of the left arm is far more widespread than the right arm (flu shot). The left arm is sore from the shoulder all the way to the elbow, but the soreness of the right arm is still a tiny area directly around the injection point.

Pretty boring, I know, but that's my update.
