    The covid vaccines I have gotten each made me sick for two days. That’s not a lot in the big picture but it is enough to make me unenthusiastic about getting another booster that may well be ineffective. For now I’m sticking with my trusty N95.

      If you had Moderna before, consider Pfizer because in my experience it gave me much less discomfort afterwards. I went back to Moderna because I felt more strongly protected, but Pfizer is good enough and better than nothing. Of course your mask will help a lot too.

        I’ve had all the shots/boosters, switched from Moderna to Pfizer about halfway through. All Moderna shots hit me like a truck, and I’ve had zero symptoms other than a sore arm from any of my Pfizer shots.

        Oh, is that a known issue with Moderna? I wife and I had only gotten Pfizer before and just got Moderna on Saturday, and we were knocked completely out Sunday and barely functional today. Seemed noticeably harsher.
