Opinions on When to Get a Second Covid Booster?

I got my second booster yesterday morning (Moderna after three Pfizers) and felt great all day. The previous shots made me feel a little off. Then a woke up at 2am and I was so sore and dizzy that I could barely move. No fever or sweats though. It’s almost 9am and I still feel like crap. I didn’t feel nearly this bad when I had Covid in January.

There’s a noticeable downward trajectory in side effects from my shots.

First shot: AstraZeneca. Eight hours after getting the shot, side effects hit me like a freight train and knocked me on my ass for a full day.
Second Shot: Moderna: Headachy and maybe a bit sluggish the rest of the evening
First Booster: Pfizer. A bit stuffy, but I had been risking pneumonia all morning waiting for the jab, so who knows.
Second booster: Pfizer. Nothing. Not a sausage. Bugger all.

How about some nice Jewish chicken soup?

That will work too.

Interesting; I’ve only had 3 shots (all Moderna), but I felt like the side effects got a little worse each time. I still intend to get the next one as soon as I’m eligible, but I’m thinking I’ll get it on a Thursday, take Friday off, and keep my weekend plans low-key and flexible.
