If you had the covid booster, did you have any side effects?

[MoreToastPlz]

Had mine yesterday. Feel a bit off today, tired and heavy and slightly achey as if I could be coming down with something. Hoping it will pass off quickly and not get worse!

How are people generally finding the booster affects them this year?

None at all, apart from a slightly sore arm.

Same for me

Slightly achy atm, otherwise fine, had flu at the same time.

Arm felt like I'd been punched in it for about a week.

None

Sore arm and felt a bit tired. Nothing like the old days of Astra Zeneca knocking me for six though!

Achy arm. That was it.

Had Covid one side, flu the other. I had a bit of a headache that evening, and the Covid arm was a bit sore the next day.

Only a slightly achy arm for a couple of days. I had the flu jab at the same time in the same arm so I figure that contributed.

Nothing, just achey arm

Had flu and covid together.
covid gave me a sore arm
one of them gave me diarrhoea

Personally I was knocked out for 2 weeks straight but appreciate that probably isn’t the norm

I felt a bit tired a few hours after having it and had a stiff arm. That was all.

I had the flu jab the previous week and felt tired and headachy for a couple of days afterwards, but less of a sore arm.

Quite stiff and achey in the top part of my body for a few days and very tired.

Like you I had the Pfizer booster yesterday morning. Sore arm now and have been feeling rough today and still am. Nasty head,achy,just feel yucky. I have been feeling a bit low for awhile though. I do have various health conditions so not in the best of health.

Flu jab in september was fine, had covid jab on tuesday and have been ill since wednesday, sleeping on and off, painful joints, head ache, generally feeling shitty and brain just not working properly, but have had this with all my covid jabs and have several underlying health issues, partner had it at the same time and was absolutely fine. Bit id rather feel ill for a few days than get covid again as that really knocks me out for weeks

Sore arm and bit tired for a few days.

Tinnitus with mine (again)!
Lasted 3 months last time.
Decided I’m not going to have another one now. Slightly sore arm too.

Flu in right arm, nothing. Covid in left arm, a bit sore.
A little bit tired for the week after....

Then I got Covid. Knackered!!! In bed for a week.
Then I got tonsillitis. In bed for 3 days.

Not sure I've recovered from any of it yet!

Nope, nothing, felt absolutely fine

Had both at the same time a few weeks ago.

my covid arm was sore to roll onto at night for a couple of days. Other than that it was fine.

Flu in one arm, covid in the other. Covid arm hurt most.

I felt hungover for 48 hours. Headache, tired, legs a bit achey and heavy.

I've had 3 boosters.

First sore arm
Second blinding headache and ended up in hospital overnight
Third sore arm

Off for next booster in a few weeks.

Flu and Covid in an arm each. Both arms a bit sore for a day and that's it. I've never had a reaction to a Covid jab.

Thanks everyone, sounds like majority of people haven't had too bad a time which is good!

I'm having a really lazy day, and fortunately my appetite hasn't been affected so eating chocolate and drinking tea.
