Hi,Did any of you have side effects after the Pfizer booster?I had mine yesterday morning at 10 am.By late evening I was aching a lot.This morning I felt terrible and was running a temperature.I went downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink and painkillers.I was sitting at the kitchen table feeling faint,I passed out and came round on the floor.It was a bit scary as I’m on my own.Love to you all Jane xx

  • Hello Jane, Sorry to hear about your experience. My Sister and Brother in law both had Pfizer with no ill effects. We had Moderns with no problems. If you are still feeling faint or still have a temperature I think you should contact your GP or dial 111. Thinking of you Garviv

  • Thanks Garviv,Reading up I see dizziness is common with the Pfizer vaccination.My temperature came down a lot.My sister had the same reaction after her booster but didn’t actually faint.I will phone for advice if I don’t feel better.I’m better than earlier so hopefully things will improve.Love Jane 

  • Yes, I had the same bad reaction to Moderna booster as I had with first AZ dose. About 12 hours after jab, started fever. That alerted me to be careful, got dizziness, nausea & a few days of aches & fatigue. Unpleasant, but better that than getting Covid. Take it easy for a few days. Happy Christmas!

  • Thanks Teasswill,Sorry you had a bad reaction.I’m taking regular paracetamol for the fever and extra fluids.Happy Christmas.Love Jane

  • Hope you are feeling better today Jane. H x

  • Hi H,I’m in bed but I feel a bit better.My temperature is normal this morning so that’s an improvement.I’m going to make a cup of tea now and hopefully I won’t faint this time.Happy Christmas.Love Jane
