Covid Second Booster at Giant

We both feel like we have been hit by a truck - my husband worse than me. Yesterday we decided to get the second Covid booster vaccine. The reason is simple - we are both over 60, we got our first booster at the end of September, we still have Christmas presents to deliver to central Virginia, and having been in health care all of our careers it was an appropriate thing to do. My husband has received Moderna four times, and I have gotten Pfizer. The last two doses we got at Giant - the first two were at the Virginia Hospital Center for him and the Virginia Community Center for me. We didn’t know how busy the pharmacy would be at Giant, but the wait wasn’t bad because they already had our paperwork from the last time and we had grocery shopping to do anyway. We brought our vaccine cards in. There wasn’t any space left on the front so they had to document the dose on the back. The first thing we noticed was the sore arm. My husband then got the itches around the injection site. But last night was really uncomfortable for both of us. We couldn’t sleep. He had chills and a temp, muscle aches, a little nausea and a racing heart. I had a racing heart and just didn’t feel right. Our walk this morning was cut in half because we are a bit tired! I don’t remember having any of these symptoms the first three times. There must be something about the timing of these boosters. All we care is that they are effective. It would be dreadful to feel worse than this if it could be helped. Now let’s hope the infection rate stays low enough to finally deliver those Christmas presents.
