[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is probably old news, but in case it helps anyone getting ready to do this now and schedule it for the best time, i had my pfizer booster last night and have a very sore arm (at time of injection, all night, and this morning). [b]if i had small children, i would be unable to pick them up, or do any type of physical work with this arm[/b].

i am only surprised because i felt absolutely nothing with the first 2 pfizer shots this past spring.

apparently this is a good sign:

I think that's a little overdramatic. Have you had a tdap lately? That's about the worst sore arm around, in my experience. But, it's not like it's an actual injury. You can just power through the pain, the arm is still perfectly functional.[/quote]

NP. Everyone is (gasp) different. I had to go to India pre-covid, and at one point got three shots at once - tdap and two others (I think it was typhoid and hepatitis). My arm was sore, but not nearly as sore as from my one shot of J&J. The J&J was not only more painful, but the pain lasted a good 6-7 days. (When I got a Pfizer booster shot, it was sore for less than 24 hours). [/quote]
