Feel atrocious after Moderna booster

Had Moderna booster earlier this afternoon and feel crap - achy, tired, nauseous and a cracking headache.

I’m just wondering how long this could last or is that like asking how long is a piece of string Grin as I have a v important interview Friday morning and need to not feel this awful!

No idea if any reference but I the had J&J jab for my first vaccine and had no side effects..is this a Moderna thing or just a me thing!

Me too. Had my booster of Moderna yesterday after two Pfizer’s. No problems with Pfizer really and now I feel exhausted with a pain in my temple and alternate between being boiling hot or freezing cold. Counting down to bedtime!

I had Pfizer yesterday morning and I feel awful. Like the first few days when I actually had covid back in the spring. That got a whole lot worse so I’m really hoping this passes soon, tempted to do a lat flow as I did not feel like this after either AZ.

I really don’t think I’ll go for any more boosters, I’ll probably have talked myself round by the time but I feel horrendous.

Felt bloody awful for 5 days post Moderna booster. Shakes, chills, banging headache. Took more paracetamol than was probably healthy just to get through….

This is a very reassuring thread! I had Moderna as my booster yesterday morning and feel awful still (also pregnant so that might take a toll).

Have just been pinged by test and trace for potential contact on Monday though, so who knows, maybe it’s Moderna booster symptoms mixed with covid 😱!

I felt rough for about 2 days after mine. Headache, chills, insomnia, aches. Then suddenly felt totally fine!

Ilovechocolatetoomuch · 06/01/2022 22:35

I had mine this a.m I’ve just cried I feel so bad. I had 2x pz before and was absolutely fine.
Im no good at being poorly :( better than catching covid I suppose.

I'm a week plus past moderna booster, and am still shattered. Had a banging headache, nausea and dizziness too. I feel worse than my friend who's just had covid Sad
