10 minutes to get it, anywhere from 0 days to a week to get over the side effects. Source: personal experience. If the calculation changes from “one and done” to “do this every few months on a schedule”, I’m leaning towards taking my chances with the virus. I’ll reconsider if there’s a newer, broad spectrum vaccine available though.

If you are one of the lucky few that doesn’t get unpleasant side effects for 24-48 hours afterwords, this may be true.

I am not, and anecdotally nobody close to me is either. It’s not a pleasant experience that I want to repeat ad infinitum. Particularly if it’s not even going to stop the current C19 variation.

Have you tried just taking a Tylenol?

You're not supposed to be taking anything that affects your immune system like that when you get the vaccine.

They literally tell you that. Stop handing out medical advice that's wrong.

Bullshit, I spent hours trying to get an appointment for a booster, just like I spent hours last spring trying to find a vaccination appointment (which was 90 minutes away). And I lost a day to the 2nd shot, and another day to the booster, as both wiped me out for 24 hours.

You might have a point if I could have walked in to any pharmacy, knowing that I could get a walk-in vaccination. But that hasn't been the case in Redmond, WA. So while you say "non-event", I say "what a pain in the ass (and arm) that was".

Plenty of people who get the booster have a low grade fever and sickness for a day or two.

Friend of mine had a week long migraine and felt like she had the flu for the first 48 hours.
