Covid Booster jab

Anyone had theirs? Were the side effects the same as the first two, worse or less as body already used to it?

I’ve got mine next week so wondering if I need to prepare not to do anything for a few days afterwards!

I had mine on Saturday. My other two jabs were AZ but the booster was Pfizer. After my first AZ I felt like I had flu for about 24hrs. 2nd one no side effects at all. This time I had a migraine type headache for 3 days and felt very tired.

I had my booster yesterday. Previously I've had AZ twice but the booster was Pfizer. I've felt awful. Flu symptoms - muscle aches, joint pain, headache. My arm I had it in has been so sore and I can't put it above my shoulder and I just want to sleep 24/7. I didn't have any side effects from the other two. This one is horrid.

I had mine nearly two weeks ago.
My first two were AZ, I felt ill for a couple of days after the first and fine after the second.
I had the Pfizer booster on the morning and by night I was constantly shivering and felt awful. The following day I was so very tired, had a headache and had shooting pains down my arms and legs. It took a few days before I felt better (and then I started with a cold).

I had Pfizer for my first 2 vaccines and felt virusy, fatigued, had swollen glands and ached all over after both, the second was the worst. However after my booster I didn't feel a thing, no side effects. I have recently had covid so not sure if that made any difference or not

Also I had it at the same time as the flu jab, one in each arm!

Hi.
I've had the booster. For my 1st 2 I had the AZ, 1st I was poorly for about 3 days.. 2nd 1 day, booster was worse than my 2nd vaccine but better than my 1st. Felt off for 24 hours, took paracetamol. I had the flu one at same time. Am glad I had it, luckily it was the weekend, I would have wanted the day after it off work. Go for it and good luck X

1st AZ, felt awful about 24 hours later, wiped me out for a day, 2nd headache for a day. Booster Pfizer, mild headache for a day, that was 3 days after flu jab, no side effects from that either.
