Recently we got the updated vax as it’s a requirement for where my partner and I work. We both got beat to shit by it, she’s had stomach issues of diarrhea and vomiting and a general ache. I have felt as if I been throw down a set of stairs and ran over by a truck. Heard that others are having similar reactions, wondering if it’s just anecdotal or this one just hits harder for everyone.

Weird, I got that plus a flu shot and a tdap booster at the same time, I had a sore arm and a little dry throat but otherwise fine

I’m never getting flu + covid vax on the same day again. Last time I had terrible symptoms.

I didn’t get the new one yet, but I had similar reactions to a booster a couple years ago

Yeah I been telling folks to not have anything planned for the day after just in case it hits them as hard as it did us.

I got the Moderna a couple of weeks ago. I was very sore, but I had a much harder time with the first few vaccines.

The new one did seem to hit me harder than the previous two boosters, but I got the flu shot at the same time so it could be either. Means it’s working, I guess. It only lasted a day or two for me.

Hmm we did get our flu shots at the same time as well. Mine was two days.

I got COVID 2 months ago, waiting another month before I get an updated vax, but COVID shots pretty consistent kick my ass. Fatigue, chills, brain fog. It generally lasts 24 hours, vs 3-4 days (plus more isolation) when I got COVID, so, worth it but definitely tough. I get them on a Friday and and just assume Saturday is lost.
