I will literally put anything, A-N-Y--T-H-I-N-G, into my body, no questions asked.

@kyleforrester87 That's the mentality we need. Any orifice preference?

@Octane Ideally they are all getting filled up at once, no time to waste.

@JohnnyShoulder Yeah the same sign is in my local pharmacy. Blows my mind every time. Who's abusing medical staff?

I scheduled my booster shot for tomorrow afternoon. I'm getting it in the building literally next to the one I live in, cool

Our government didn't really think boosters were a good idea until recently, so I'm not getting mine before the end of January it seems.

@Voltan Very handy! Mine is only 10 mins walk from where I live, or a couple from where I work.

Need to wait until the 5th January for my booster. Bit annoying but if the side effects are as bad for me as they were after the 2nd dose then part of me’s glad it’s after Christmas at least.

I'm actually kinda counting on having similar effects as with the last two, so I can have an excuse to get home early from the family dinner (not that there's anything wrong with my family, I'm just not a huge fan of these affairs lasting for hoooouuuurs lol) To be clear, I was just feeling unusually fatigued through the next day after each shot.
Anyway, just got home after my booster shot, so far I'm feeling fine

Are you all doing mix-and-match boosters or going with the same one you started with? Both approaches have their proponents.

@Th3solution I got the other brand for the booster. Apparently they only recommend Pfizer and Moderna as the 3rd shot (not Astra).

I got all 3 Pfizer, wasn't given an option. No side effects after first one (apart from a sore arm), had to spend the next afternoon in bed after shots 2 and 3 but fine the following day

Had my booster earlier this morning. Only side effects so far is a very slight aching arm. @Th3solution First two were Pfizer and this one was Moderna, but I wasn't given a choice but I probably wouldn't have changed it anyway.

I’m a triple Pfizer recipient. Bit of a dead arm for number one and a slightly sore arm for the others 💪🏻

Oh wow. I’m feeling mostly fine but I’m pretty sure the arm didn’t hurt this much last time ouch!

It's Xmas Eve and I'm queuing for my booster. Stay safe and have a good one folks!

No more side effects, just an aching arm which feels no worse than number 2. And I feel a bit more tired than usual, but I think that more to do with the bin men being super early for some reason.

Got my booster today. Feel a bit garbage but I was like that with the other two doses. At least the nurse who gave me my jab was a guy I went to school with’s mum so had a nice wee chat!

Welp, violent shaking and chills are back. Same as the last jab. Had about 2 hours sleep. Dunno why I’m so susceptible to side effects but I guess it’s better than having actual Covid.

@nessisonett My sister currently has covid, but she says she is OK. Sounds you would be better off with covid! Not that I would wish that on anyone.
