I know this had probably been talked about so much, so apologies.

I had Astra Zeneca in Feb & May last year, moderna booster today. I had booster booked in December but got covid - pretty mildly.

So I've had moderna. What symptoms to expect? They said fever, aches etc. But how common?

I'm definitely pro vaccine, all for it but I really haven't got time to be feeling shit right now.

Going through a tough time as a family 😪

I drove past my local walk in centre and it had one car in there so took the opportunity too get it now it's been 28 days since I had covid.

Dp is a bit smug because he got no side effects with any doses and his covid was pretty much symptom free! 😅

I had the Moderna booster a couple of weeks ago. A sore arm for a day or two, a bit tired first day, very slight headache the following day. That was it, I was pleasantly surprised not to have any other side effects.

There's no way of knowing but most side effects only last 24-48 hours at the most.

I felt rough for 36 hours - starting about 8/10 hours after having the jab. I spent a day in bed because of it, but I was fine after that.

I had Moderna for all three of my doses and the booster was the easiest to get over - sore arm for a couple of days but otherwise fine.
Second dose was horrendous so I was expecting the same but was pleasantly surprised

I had the Moderna booster after having 2 Pfizer vaccinations. I had a sore arm for 2/3 days and that was it.

On this topic has anyone had the booster and got pregnant the same month? I've booked my booster for Monday but really thinking of cancelling as the first jab made my period late and the 2nd made it early. TTC for nearly 2 years, don't need anything getting in the way of that!

Hi.. not sure if you still needed a reply but I had my first vaccine in May 2020 and found out I was pregnant in June.. possibly was pregnant when I had the vaccine done but I can’t be 100%.. I too was worried about getting it as we were trying for our second baby and this was our 4th month trying.. I then had my second vaccine when I was 4 months pregnant to protect me and baby mainly because I was working and I wanted to be safe.. 3 months after having baby I’ve now had my booster.. I had Pfizer for the first 2 and Moderna for the booster.. honestly I couldn’t decide on what to do but I don’t think it has any effects on pregnant and I was also still breastfeeding my one year old when I went for my first vaccine xxxxxx
