Extremely fatigued after covid booster (had covid 5 weeks ago)

[Kcc73]

So I had my 4th covid vaccine dose on Sunday.
All 4 have been Pfizer and apart from a sore arm I seemed to escape the first 2 times from side effects.

I had my first covid mid October. Had I I'd day moderately. Lasted 2 weeks .

I went ahead with my covid booster as GP encouraged me to and the centre near me that does the boosters was closing on Sunday - so easier to get on with it now then wait. And it was more than a month.

My arm def more sore than last few times as half arm tender 3 days on, BUT I also feel completely hit my fatigue and struggling to stay out of bed for very long.

Is fatigue linked to covid vaccine?? Wondered if anyone else experienced this. TBH I still have fatigue days post having covid but this feels worse.

Thanks

in the USA (and other countries) at the moment, they recommend leaving at least 3 months after your covid infection to get your booster...which makes sense if you have had an infection so recently. Probably just worth taking it easy for a little while and slowly getting back to activity.

I've recently had covid and last week went for my booster, but they wouldn't give it to me because it was less than a month since I had the infection. Maybe having the 2 too close together increases the chance of fatigue?

I was knocked out by covid fatigue. It was one of the worst symptomsfor me. Its been 3 weeks since I tested negative and returned to work, and it's only the last few days I've not been sleeping for England. I was sleeping 12-14 hours given the chance!

I had booster last year after nasty bout of COVID and it floored me for another week. The booster this time was fine so I do think small gap exacerbates things.
