Still feeling rough - 2 days after Pfizer booster

First 2 doses were AZ, felt slightly hot and thirsty for about 24 hours.

Had Pfizer 48 hours ago, feel light headed, out of it and have a headache. Paracetamol and lots of water don't seem to be doing the trick.

Same here OP, I think it’s pretty normal

And lethargic.

Think I got off lightly with AZ.

I'm the opposite - felt dreadful after both AZ vaccines but no side effects at all from Pfizer booster. I find it fascinating that people can react so differently!

I had Pfizer on Sunday, I still feel like I have been hit by a truck! My skin is super sensitive and even my eyelids hurt :(
Interestingly my entire household has tested +ve via LFT since then, but I am negative. I am the one who is bedridden, they all have what could at best be described as sniffles. It all just seems to be so random!

My boss thought she had Pfizer side effects and was coming in to work, but she did in fact have covid !

I had a Pfizer booster on Sunday. Swollen underarm glands and sore arm have kept me awake T night since! Hoping for a better nights sleep tonight.

I was mildly unwell and really tired (ended up having to go to bed at 3pm one day!) for 3 days, a bit better yesterday, and pretty much back to normal today - bit tired now it's 9pm).
DH just had a sore arm for one day and was sleepy the day after - then completely fine.

I think it's very normal for some people to take longer to feel better. With the first AZ one, I had heavier symptoms but they only lasted one night. Just rest when you can and drink enough water. Feel better soon - it'll soon pass and you'll be more protected, so it's worth it!
