Must be moderna? 100 microgram moderna dose appears to produce longer staying power than 30 microgram pfizer

Yep.  Wife and I both had a rough response to the second Moderna, but sounds like it may have been worth it.

Yeah Moderna #2 put me through 8 hours of hell but I’d do it again in a heartbeat

More like 12 hours for me. But definitely worth it, because I’ve been having lots of unprotected sex in the Lubbock area and of all the tests I’ve had, not once have I tested positive for COVID.

gave me a mild fever.  felt like a hangover/headache and a little bit of body weakness.  #1 aint did shit

So, Moderna is advocating for a 50 microgram booster, or so I read.

So the total delivered is not tree-fiddy, just one-fiddy, but seems fine.

the first moderna jab kicked my ass for about 12 hours (after a 12 hour delay). the second was noticeable but not terrible for about 6 hours. the third didn't make a shit.

Team Moderna here as well but I had zero issues with either shot.  I'm at about 6 months now.  I guess I should be lining up a booster shot soon?

House Moderna here for the Mrs. and I too. Super-sore injection arms for 3 days with Round 1. Round 2 produced hangovers from the 7th circle of hell the following day. 

In hindsight, it wasn't really that bad...but second shot really did knock me on my ass for 36 hours.  But I bring that up because I'll be doing a booster sometime in late Autumn just based on S-proteins and overall timing.  And I was resigned to doing it on a Friday afternoon and just take rest of day off and then deal with the fallout that night and all day Saturday.  But it's College Football season, I can't be out of commission on Gameday.  

So I think either take it right after work on Thursday and deal with the shitty night's sleep and just work in bed on Friday, if at all.  Maybe feel a hint groggy on Saturday morning but I usually do anyway, but be up and at it by any early kickoff games.  Or find somewhere that'll prick me on a Sunday morning and take it easy that whole day and probably work from bed on Monday.  

tl; dr---plan your schedule wisely because the second shot and/or booster can fuck up your life for 12-36 hours.  Don't let it fuck up college football for you as well.

I prefer to leave that to the Texas Longhorns

I'm interested to read this thread when posters start reporting their booster reactions.  Seems like a good number of folks did fine the first shot, but were laid up to some degree by the second shot.  Can we assume that a third shot 6-8 months later might also make you feel bad?  I dunno.  But like Lobo said, better to schedule you booster away from work or social commitments if possible.

My Third Moderna was on par with the 2nd. Felt like shit for about 12 hrs.

For some context -- are you in the 65+ or immunocompromised category, or able to get a provider willing to give a booster no questions asked?  And have you done the antibody test?

This, maybe slightly more intense with a little bit later onset IIRC.

My third was worse than my second. And my second sucked. Pfizer for all 3. 35 and healthy. Went to a place that had expiring shots and were gonna throw em away. 
 

did antibody level thru Texas Cares before I got the 3rd shot and was 825. My second shot was 1/11/21. My third shot was 8/31/21

It looks like the floodgates are about to open for boosters.  I'm a little over 6.5 months out from 2nd Pfizer.   Considering scheduling mine for next week in advance of a Vegas trip for work the following week.

My 3rd shot caused the same aches, swollen arm and lethargy that the 2nd one did.  Went away overnight like the 2nd one did also.  The sore arm lasted about 5 or 6 days.

Yep, based on the quick replies on this thread.  I was thinking about getting my booster before attending ACL Fest, and I'm currently a little over six months out.  But I'm cutting it close to getting in with a couple days set aside to recover from any adverse reactions.  So I'll just wait until sometime after Texas v. OUsux.

My primary motivation is to hopefully avoid getting a breakthrough infection while in Vegas that would hit me the morning of TX-OU.

Well she has a point.  Covid-19 is just a bad flu.  And we just surpassed more U.S. deaths from Covid-19 than we did from the 1918 Influenza Pandemic in the last few weeks.  So see?  It ended up being slightly worse than the flu.  How do you people not understand this?  

Of course, it only took us 18+ months to get there while the Spanish Flu took us over two years.  Which is impressive because the 1918-20 U.S. did not have access to much PPE, vaccination, and work/school from home optionality.  We managed to break our own record...we are Great Again!  Or Fucked Again.  Or Sick Again.  Or Dead Again.  

I dunno, I gotta book my booster after ACL.

I had a third Pfizer dose two weeks ago. Less of a reaction than shot #2. Just felt off for a day. 

Two people I work with had a 3rd dose of Moderna two weeks ago. Both said it knocked them down much worse than the 2nd dose. Said it was like the flu turned up to 11 for about 24 hours. 

Now I gotta get my kid a polio booster shot if we decide to visit DisneyWorld.  What in the holy fuck is happening in this fucking country right now?  

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 years old what my Texas Cares antibody test results mean?  I keep seeing people mention that their results were in the 1000s but my results say I am positive for the Covid-19 Antibodies, Spike Protein with the quantitative results were at the 136 mark.  The SAR-CoV-2 total antibodies was negative (which I assume means I haven't had covid).  136 seems low.

Josey Wales gave you covid in that blood brother ceremony. I’m sure it wasn’t on purpose.

Tell the world my story.

My heart is filled with joy when I see you here, as the brooks fill with water when the snow melts in the spring; and I feel glad, as the ponies do when the fresh grass starts in the beginning of the year. But there are things which you have said which I do not like. They were not sweet like sugar but bitter like gourds. If you had only had Moderna and masked up there might have been peace. But that which you now say is Pfizer is too small of a dose. The horse paste eaters have taken away the places where the grass grew the thickest and the timber was the best.  You're doomed to die on the great grass seas of the Llano Estacado.  Go in peace.

For all they know you might need 1 anti-body to fight off covid.   I assume this is why so many scientists and doctors think the white house and CDC are premature on the boosters.

Your conclusions were all wrong.

I’ve got a weird situation. I had Covid in January, second shot in April. 33 and very healthy. Seriously wondering if I’ll need a booster in December or before thanksgiving. I’ll probably just wait for more data to come out.

My folks had their third moderna shot about 3 weeks ago.

Have you done the UT antibody study?

I got one without medical advice and no prior infection 7 months after my second shot. Mentioned it to my doctor during a routine appointment yesterday. He responded, "Smart man."

I'm considering that to be retroactive approval and medical advice.

Yeah, I'd sign up for the UT Cares study. Guy at work got Moderna at the end of February. Came back with >2500 last week.

Him: "Should I get the booster, soon?"

Me: "Go fuck yourself."

Cares study enrollment goal has been met. They weren’t sign up new people last I checked.

Figured you had to be in Austin for it. I’d gladly do it.

People in your situation have demonstrated the most robust immunity of any group.  The reported breakthrough cases for recovered and vaxxed are the lowest of any category.  There have been several studies that show you are not only able to defeat COVID, but a couple of the cold like coronaviruses and even the original SARS virus.  At this point I don't see any reason for you to get a booster.

So I’m walking around with a radioactive shield around myself? Sweet. Thanks for the information.
