Default Covid Booster made me ill

I had my 4th Covid booster at 10 am yesterday. By 10pm bedtime I was running a fever; had strong, lucid dreams; had pain in my neck and arm; was shivering and could not stay warm-- the list goes on. It was a miserable night. Today, I am weak as a cat, but otherwise I am okay. Like most of us, I do not like wearing a mask, but if wearing one will keep a toddler or frail elderly person from getting sick, I will wear the damn thing. I am not that selfish. I understand wearing a mask might be ineffectual, but still, I will wear it for the good of those around me

It is my understanding that only a second booster is authorized at this time and that is for specified groups. How on earth did you receive four boosters?

1st dose 2nd dose 1st booster 2nd booster = 4 vaccinations total

Yes. But the OP said he/she had had four boosters, not four shots.

I’d suggest taking up with the OP
I agree with your quote “ To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead”

OP misspoke, apparently. Maybe too concerned about patting himself on the back for his unselfish mask wearing.

We both had our second booster 12 days ago and no side effects at all. A bit of tiredness with first vaccine but other than that we are both fine.

Sounds like you won the lottery. Thats a good thing, your body was building antibodies and booting your immunity.

The wife and I both got our 4th a week ago and had mild flu like reaction.

Everybody is different.

My wife cannot take vaccinations without getting really sick. Fortunately she had COVID a year ago last November, and antibodies confirmed by her doctor at her annual physical last month, so she's in the clear now.

Husband got strong reactions to the Moderna, both second dose and the two boosters. Couldn't figure out why he was dying, then remembered it was the day after his second booster. I've never had any reaction to the Pfizer shots.

So true. Gotta love virtue signaling.

Or maybe the pain from spraining his arm caused him to mis-type. It’s dangerous to pat yourself on the back that enthusiastically.

Sorry but all of this is worthless without knowing who's booster shot you got...

I had Moderna for all 3 of my shots and 24 hours after the shot I had body aches and chills and then back to normal. My wife had the other shot (forgot the name) but she had nothing afterwards. It's possible for anyone....
