Booster Vaccine

Hello
I have just recently had my booster vaccine, I was given Pfizer.
What were people's side effects?
I had AZ for the first .. had flu like symptoms, body aches, hot to touch but was freezing cold.
2nd AZ jab not to bad just a headache for a few days.
Now my booster I have got a sore arm where I had the jab and a very sore underarm on that side and my neck feels like I have pulled a muscle on one side.
I have been on the Gov website and have seen that swollen lymph nodes in armpit can occur after this particular booster .
Has anyone else had this and if so how long did it last .
Thanks
Lou :)

I had a lump in my armpit after my booster but it went after a couple of days.

Like you I had az for the first 2 and Pfizer for the booster. After effect ms were pretty similar to my first az, i.e. sore arm and achey all over the next day, but ok by day 2.

@LM92020 how long after you received it did your side effects start? I’m like you with my vaccines, got my Pfizer vaccine this morning and so far just some soreness at the site. I didn’t have any side effects with the first 2

No side effects whatsoever to first or second Pfizer jabs. I had some very slight soreness around the injection site for about 10 minutes following the booster jab (again, Pfizer).

I've seen it suggested that these very mild symptoms that sometimes arise can result from the site of the vaccination being close to a nerve. I don't know if that is true.

So my sore arm started late that night from me having the jab that day then the next day I woke up with a sore under arm . Today is the first day the aches in my underarm have finally gone off .

The underarm , and neck are apparently places the lymph node can swell after the booster .

Still the side affects were better after the booster than what they were after the 1st AZ jab .

Hope everyone's side effects have started / start to fade. So glad mine have as I'm such a worrier !

Xx
