Anyone else a little nervous about getting Pfizer after having 2 Astra Zeneca jabs? I am. Due for booster in January 22 but nervous about the side effects of mixing the vaccines. I was quite poorly for a couple of days after my first AZ dose. Petrified my body will do the same fox Pfizer. Anyone else felt that way?

I feel the same. Bed ridden with flu like symptoms for 10 days both times. Dizziness persists 8 months after 1st dose. I don't want any more. I was told there would be mild side effects but they were wrong. I was told that AZ was safe for my age group but they were wrong. We expected 2 doses to be a full course but they were wrong. What might they be wrong about with MRNA boosters? We wont know until it's too late?

I can't wait! It's booked for next Sunday, just have to survive the week without catching it, could be tough as it's snowballed at school Sad

I’m really keen to get Moderna after 2 Pfizer. Data for Moderna from the US seems to suggest that it provides high protection long after the others have started to reduce.

I had side-effects after my Astrazeneca, especially the first one but was absolutely fine after my Pfizer booster. Hopefully you will be too !

I had first and second ones AZ.I had side effects with both.Pfizer for booster.Only got a sore arm for about 12 hours.

I had 2 x AZ and felt awful after the first one.
A couple of weeks ago I had a Moderna booster and had no side effects whatsoever. It was a breeze.

I had Pfizer as a booster yesterday after having 2x AZ. One day later I am tired and feel bunged up, although there are so many bugs going around I might just coincidentally have caught a cold!
