Who's got the new "updated Covid-19 shot"?
By: Steve Date: September 22, 2023, 2:28 pm

I thought that I would start a topic about the new 'updated
Covid-19 vaccine.' Specifically, who has received the
vaccination and their bodily reaction to it. I thought that it
would be fun to share experiences. For the record, I just
received the updated Covid-19 vaccine about an hour ago. I
currently feel fine but I tend to have strong reactions that are
about twelve hours delayed (which is partially the reason why
I'm starting this topic now and not tomorrow).
Anyway, feel free to write your thoughts here about the new
updated Covid-19 vaccine.
I'd just like to thank the very nice Walgreen pharmacy person
who allowed me to be (realistically) a walk-in. He didn't have
to administer the vaccination but he did. Although I am a little
concerned about the pricing snafu that some people have been
experiencing, I'd rather get a small bill that can be resolved
than a much larger one by being admitted to a hospital.

Hubby & I got ours (Moderna) this wk at CVS. As far as side
effects, He had itching at the injection site right after the
shot, itching in random spots on his body since then, but no
rash, and not even a sore arm. Previous shots he'd feel
feverish, icky for a few hours, then Ok by the next day. This
time I had no side effects at all, not even a sore arm -other
shots I was feverish, icky for a day or so. It was definitely
weird not having any side effects this time - not complaining
though lol.

Thanks for replying, Lora W.
I'm about 14-15 hours in. Generally achy but not so much that
laying down is the only option. Walking and standing up is a
chore. I can do it but my body is really leery of doing those
activities for more than a moment. When I went outside to
retrieve the newspaper, I walked very casually as opposed to
walking quickly or even lightly jogging. I don't have a lot of
brain fog (I'm typing this reply out, after all) but, especially
when standing or walking, there's a bit of lightheadedness.
Injection point is sore and I can lift my arm 70% before
significant discomfort occurs. Ate 20% of normal breakfast
volume without too much difficulty but had zero appetite.
Overall, I almost think that this reaction is somewhat milder
(but not mild) to what I was expecting as, I've written
previously, my reactions tend to be strong. I am really glad
that I am not going into work today (I normally wouldn't on a
Saturday) but even if I could remote in (which I can't), I
wouldn't do it.

Shared this post on Twitter. I had planned to get the covid
booster shot this past week, however with my dad being positive
for covid, that got put on hold. Hopefully next week I will be
able to get it. So far I have stayed negative.

I think that I finally rounded the corner, so to speak, at about
the 26-27 hour mark. I woke up from (yet another) nap and the
brain fog is nowhere in sight. Still a bit fatigued, still a bit
wobbly but definitely better than earlier in the day. I'll
attempt a light dinner (I do have some hunger) and I've been
drinking a lot more water lately. Injection site is still sore
but manageable; No pick-up basketball games for me! ;D
Anyway, I think that'll be the last entry for me about my
reactions to the latest Covid-19 shot. Always interested in
hearing how others fared. Remember - As bad as the reaction
might be, it's better than being on a ventilator or in a
hospital.
