After my Moderna booster, I was sick for a week. Both of us are reluctant to receive the current bivalent booster.

I think you can rest assured, neither of those reactions were reported to the CDC.
I am VERY sorry about your experience and it is good that it is shared with the Forum. My wife and I have gotten all 5 of our shots with only a slightly stiff arm for a couple of days. I have heard of other reactions such as being sick for a week. That would probably NOT be something that the CDC would be interested in collecting data on. Now, your sibling is a different story.......I would HOPE that a heart murmur that happens soon after a Covid shot would be significant enough for the CDC to compile data on.......with a plan to investigate IF there are many other such incidents. I do NOT know whether or not it is the Doctor's responsibility to send in a report about a heart murmur soon after a Covid shot. I would HOPE that it would get reported.
