3rd Pfizer booster

Does it knock you as much as the 2nd?

After 2nd booster I think I slept for about 14 hours, I'm booking my 3rd vaccination and I'm trying to work out the best day, I don't want to be feeling exhausted in the office!

Ime, the third one knocks you more. Sorry.

Avarua · 01/12/2021 20:13

Dh agrees. He is still feeling shite and he had his three days ago.

Luckingfovely · 01/12/2021 20:13

Not me yet, but several friends have been knocked sideways for about 3 days. In all cases, Pfizer after AZ.

Gooseysgirl · 01/12/2021 20:15

I was completely fine actually! All I had was sore arm for a couple of days. I only had some minor side effects after the second one - some tiredness and lumpy armpit, all fine within a couple of days.

Gooseysgirl · 01/12/2021 20:15

Should have said, I have had three Pfizer shots.

MissConductUS · 01/12/2021 20:20

My third Pfizer dose was fine, just tired for a day. The first two were worse.

wishing3 · 01/12/2021 20:22

I had third Pfizer yesterday and no symptoms. Felt tired after the second but that might have been down to baby not sleeping.

Snoodleberry · 01/12/2021 20:26

Three Pfizer vaccinations, third one was totally fine, not even a sore arm.

CathyorClaire · 01/12/2021 20:31

Three Pfizers and just the usual sore arm each time.

Dh and Dm had Pfizer boosters after AZ and were fine although dh made much of the sore arm Hmm

FairviewRosie · 01/12/2021 20:31

2 Asta Zenica had booster Moderna yesterday have been asleep all day and arm ruddy hurts

SummerWillow · 01/12/2021 20:31

2 AZ, then Pfizer for booster. Sore arm and feeling generally achy for 24 hours. Not too bad! Reacted worst to first AZ.

LlamasintheFog · 01/12/2021 20:33

With the Pfizer booster I felt like I had proper flu for 36 hrs then, for the next week, a horrible low mood - quite scary. Completely different from my first two AZ jabs where I just had a slight arm / neck ache. Will book a few days off work for my next jab!

FlamingGoat · 01/12/2021 20:37

Had my Pfizer on Monday and feel absolutely rotten. Had AZ for the first two and suffered with them aswell!

Skybooks · 01/12/2021 20:43

2 AZ vaccines, Pfizer booster yesterday all 3 just sore arm. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and was up at 5 for work today, no symptoms at all.

CiderWithLizzie · 01/12/2021 21:25

3 Pfizer’s and my second was the worst.

OhDear2200 · 01/12/2021 21:26

I felt shit after the second and third. First strangely was ok!

OhDear2200 · 01/12/2021 21:26

@CiderWithLizzie snap!

Rantyrantason · 01/12/2021 21:28

2AZ with no real ill effects at all. Pfizer booster felt pretty fluey and achy the day after (enough to take a day off work) and then 48h feeling a touch fluey but easily dealt with with paracetamol or ignoring!

kirinm · 01/12/2021 21:31

I didn't have any side effects although I had AZ previously.

Had 3rd Pfizer booster, no problems.
3 weeks later I have COVID, avoided it for almost 2yrs!

nordica · 01/12/2021 21:38

I had my first two jabs on Friday mornings and I think that's a great time if you work Mon-Fri. Side-effects likely won't kick in until late Fri/during the night and then you have the weekend to rest. That's the time I'm going to choose for my booster too if possible.

Booster done and no issues with any. I do t know anyone who has had the booster and had any issues, and we are a fully triple vaccinated workforce.

HomeCountiesMum · 01/12/2021 21:59

Two AZ no side effects

One Pfizer Booster no side effects

There is no rhyme nor reason as to why some people are affected and some aren't
