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!

No. 2 was the worst for me.

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

But there must be. Something happens for people to feel ill or not. I just wish we were told what that is.

2AZ and Pfizer booster. I felt dreadful with the first AZ, ok with the second, and the Pfizer one yesterday has knocked me - I worked from home today and it’s just as well as I was very achey and tired. The school run practically had me needing a lie down! Hoping to wake up tomorrow feeling better.

I'm having my third Pfizer tomorrow, but the first two were fine. I only felt slightly tired when having an afternoon walk, but as that often happens I can't even be sure it was the vaccines. None of my friends or family had any ill effects after the first two.

@lightisnotwhite I think it's the same with any drug or vaccine
I inject a drug weekly and sometimes I just have a mild headache, other times I'm shivering/sweating, trying not to throw up or pass out and feel like I have flu. Everyone who takes it seems to have really different side effects
1st AZ was v v similar to that drug for me but not as bad, my parents didn't even have a bloody sore arm! Angry

Had Pfizer booster after 2 Pfizer jabs and was fine - just a bit of a sore arm.

DH had his and was completely fine.

Absolutely. But there has to be an actual physical reason.

I felt awful for a few days after 2nd and 3rd doses. I booked the third for a Friday to give me maximim time before work the next week and was glad I had.

DH had his third Pfizer, the first 2 he slept in the daytime for 5 hours, the third not so much, maybe 2 hours.
