Has anyone had their 3rd covid vaccine yet?

I am getting mine tomorrow and wondering about the side effects of the third shot ?
Has anyone had any adverse side effects ?

I had mine Saturday afternoon. I was a little tired and achey Sunday afternoon (but I haven't been sleeping great so can't say for certain it was vaccine related) and had a sore arm which has just about faded.

Of six of us in work who have had their booster four of us were OK just tiredness, sore arm, slight achey muscles one said they felt sick for a short while after too. Two others said they were very rough, ill with a fever, aching all over pretty much spent the two days following in bed.

I had mine yesterday. No after effects at all, not even sore arm

I had my booster this morning. Tired and cold now but I suspect it's because I've had rough sleep the last few nights

All 3 were Pfizer. I felt dreadful after my 2nd so hoping this one isn't the same. Had flu jab at the same time.

I had my third Pfizer last night anc flu jab 2 days earlier. So far so good 🤞

Had my booster on Monday.
First 2 were AstraZeneca the booster was Pfizer.
Walked into my local pharmacy no appointment necessary, just gave my NHS number, in & out in 10 minutes, no side affects.

I’ve just seen that I can have mine at the local hub this weekend, they’re doing walk ins. They’d previously advertised it as being for people vaccinated up to April 24th which meant I’d miss out by a day but have now changed to the 24th and 25th.

I had AZ before and reacted quite badly to the first one, the second was fine. I’m a bit worried about having it this weekend because I’ve got to go out on Sunday afternoon, but I do want to get it done ASAP so I think I might go for when it opens at 10am on Sunday morning.

My first two were AZ and was ill for 6 weeks after first. After second, felt like I had a hangover for 24 hours.

Had my 3rd/booster on Saturday and was Pfizer. Within 2 hours felt slightly off. Felt a bit tired and slightly nauseated. Sunday morning felt fine again and slightly sore injection site so was really pleased.

This was absolutely nothing compared to even the second AZ so if anyone is reading this, please don't worry.
