    I had 2 shots & 1 booster. A bit of lethargy and soreness near the injection site after shot 2, but nothing major. I had COVID in May and it was like the most mild cold I’ve ever had. Was supposed to fly to Miami the day I tested positive, which sucked - but I still got to go five days later after 2 negative tests, just had a shortened stay

    I had the two Pfizers - Had covid 3 times now. I don't think anyone knows what is going on. I agree with Bossa --- the second shot kicked my ass. My attitude now is just 'bring it'!!

    No shots - no boosters - no covid.

    During covid I have been sick for like 3-4 days tops. Kept my hands sanitized. Wore a mask unless it wasn't mandatory. Went out in public often (groceries for a big family, nothing crazy). Good to go. Im not anti vaccine, I was in the military -- Im already chipped. I just didn't feel like getting it and was very cautious. Common sense plays a role in all of this as well. Still have never tested positive for Covid.

    My doctor called me back because my tongue has swollen. She said if it gets where I can't breathe to go to e.r. add to the nausea and dizziness I am having a blast if only I could see a shirtless Tebow.

    2 jabs + 1 booster (all moderna mrna). Waiting to get my additional booster when I get back home (on a job now at sea). I only had a slight fever and arm soreness after the 1st jab. Nothing after the 2nd and 3rd. My daughter suffers from LUPUS so we were a bit hesitant at first since her immune system is a mess. However, her doctor said that her getting full blown covid could be much much worse than any risks associated with the vaccine, She's been vaccinated and boosted and never had a problem except some arm soreness. We're glad she made the decision to go with the vaccine as getting full blown covid could have been the end of her.

    "...if it gets to where you can't breathe, go to e.r."

    ???

    Have been practicing holding your breath and doing that drive?

    911 anyone?

    Maybe consider a second opinion...peraps a new doctor?

    A nurse once told us to wait until my son (3 years old at the time) had signs of a seizure happening to go into the er when we called and said he had 104 temp that was still rising.

    I learned the hard way to always pay attention to your gut and carefully, SELECTIVELY listen to medical professionals.

    My Dr I used to work for would have said call 911.

    I got the original first 2 then 2 boosters - Sore arm and a bit of maliese after #2 booster was the worst for me. I have not gotten Covid.

    There is a small percentage of people who have a very bad reaction to these shots. in fact, you can say that about any vaccine. nothing wrong with the shot itself but some people have an immune response that goes haywire. we had a friend whose daughter was paralyzed for a month or so after the HPV shot. The issue, IMO, is research needs to figure out a test that woukd determine who is at risk for the bad reactions.
