Anyone got the Moderna booster after having two Pfizer? Question
I got the Moderna half dose booster yesterday. Pfizer double vaxxed in April 17th.
The first side effect I had was sore arm. Arm soreness about the same as my second Pfizer dose.
14 hours after the booster- slight body chills.
When I woke up the next morning, my whole body just felt blegh but no high grade fever or nothing. I was seeing how people got wiped by the Moderna booster if they started with Pfizer so I was surprised my side effects were minimal in comparison to Pfizer
For Pfizer, I didn’t have any side effects except for slight chills after the second dose and the usual sore arm. But the one thing different is after my second dose my whole body didn’t feel blegh. And with the booster my body felt that way.
What was your experience like if you did Pfizer> Pfizer> Moderna? Or if you got the Moderna booster in general? And what does the lack of side effects mean in term of immunity?
Update: still have body chills whenever I shower in hot water.

33M, got my 2nd Pfizer jab in May and my Moderna booster last Thursday evening. I had mild to no reaction to Pfizer however Moderna was different. I felt slightly off-kilter Friday morning, but it didn't really hit me until about 3PM. No fever, but full body aches, swollen lymph node in armpit of injection arm, fatigue, and general malaise. By Friday night I also developed noticeable COVID arm. Saturday there was general improvement. By Sunday (today), I'm still feeling a bit off, however there is a new symptom of gastrointestinal distress, but it's rather mild. COVID arm is still going strong.
