Has anyone else had this after the Moderna booster?

I had my booster on Weds and felt absolutely rotten yesterday. I feel fine today but my urine is really dark, almost brown. I am not dehydrated.

Could it be a bit of blood rather than urine? I had some mid cycle bleeding a couple of days after my moderna booster.

I don't think it's blood. I've had blood in my wee before and it doesn't look anything like that.

I would call 111 for that - dark brown urine can be a sign of lots of things that would be need to be checked out, vaccinated or not vaccinated

Have you started recently taking any new medications?

Nope. No new medicines or anything different, just the booster.

I had it yesterday and I feel pretty ropey today. Arm agony. My urine is darker but I think mine is dehydration as hardly drank any water today. Will monitor it tomorrow (and drink water).

In that case I'd give 111 a call, they may want to send you for some tests

Hope it all resolves quickly

I had this earlier today after having the Moderna booster yesterday.

I just assumed I was dehydrated. It’s a normal colour again now.

I did after my Pfizer booster but not with my first 2 jabs (Moderna).

I had dark, unusual, chemically smelling urine first thing in morning 48 hours after the booster. I was slightly concerned but it resolved within a couple of hours. Well, to be precise, it was lighter after a glass of water and back to normal after a few hours. I would have got it checked out if it had lasted any longer.

It's never happened before and I wasn't dehydrated, I drink a lot of water. I hadn't eaten anything that can change the smell or colour of urine either (vitamins, asparagus, alcohol etc).

Why don't you have a couple of glasses of water and then see if it improves. Sounds to me like you're dehydrated.

Definitely not dehydrated as I've drank a lot of water today.
