TheGoodBits Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 My mom got the moderna booster on Saturday and said the side effects mirrored the second dose. Fever, chills, etc set in around the 12 hour mark and lasted a little less than a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I'm hitting the 6mo mark for Moderna 2nd dose this month. Rally hoping a booster is widely available to me before my vacation to Maui in December. 🤞 Edited October 25, 2021 by The Evil Genius Wrong one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I don't get the side effects I had with the 2nd shot where I felt like I got hit by a train 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Am I the only one who would like to see a response post to each of the pictures of firefighters or police officers leaving their hats/helmets/boots on the steps of a monument where the ones left are put next to a different color item for each of the people in the profession who died from COVID? Also for all those bemoaning buying the child doses before approved, if one truly expects their approval, we need to work on the role out administration now. If not, we will spend more weeks planning for role out and doing it AFTER the approval. There is an old saying, "Those who fail to prepare for success, plan to fail." This was my concern when we were working on developing a vaccine. We didn't have a plan to administer them and wasted time setting up max vax sites and distribution plans for the states.

Warhead36 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Planning on getting my booster next week. I've heard side effects are similar to the 2nd shot(Moderna). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Wife originally got J&J and got a Moderna booster Saturday. It wiped her out pretty good, but not as bad as her J&J shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Got my J&J booster today. Interestingly they offered me a choice of any of the three as a booster and would not make a recommendation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 To get the booster now you need to have some sort of underlying medical condition or be a high risk worker, etc, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderna and Pfizer over 65+ or with high risk job:Front line workers, 1st responders, Teachers or have a underlying condition. 6 months after dose J&J: Everyone 2 months after dose. you can mix and match now places will not ask to prove your condition. So, if you want one and your 6 months out, you can get it with no problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only criteria was 6 months after the first J&J shot. But being a high-risk sex worker also would have qualified me.

China Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Alabama governor orders state agencies to fight federal vaccine mandate Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Monday signed an executive order directing state agencies to not enforce federal coronavirus vaccine mandates, and instead cooperate with the state's attorney general to sue the Biden administration over the requirements. The big picture: No government entity shall impose any agreement demanding that an employee get vaccinated, the Republican governor's executive order says. It adds that state employees will not be required to present vaccination proof to receive any sort of government service or to enter a government building.

I've heard side effects are similar to the 2nd shot(Moderna). I'd say it was a milder version of the 2nd shot (Moderna) for me. Had the same chills feeling at 12 hours, then woke up feeling groggy.

EmirOfShmo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I got the J&J shot back in March. I think I'm going to get the Pfizer booster Sunday (this link doesn't provide a link to the NIH study): Preliminary results from a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that people who were boosted with a shot different from their original vaccine saw a spike in antibody levels, which is one measure of immune response. In particular, J&J vaccine recipients who were boosted with either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine saw an increase in antibody levels much higher than those boosted with the J&J vaccine. What’s more, no safety concerns were identified. https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/info-2021/covid-booster-shot.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goskins10 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I am taking my first Covid test. Traveling to Canada for work so I have to get the PCR test. I will get the booster (Pfizer) when I return. Everyone I have talked to is they are not screening based on any criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
