It is looking like it is the best defense against Omicron.

I want to retch, too. Not great.

Not great.

OH had his on Wednesday he is still running a slight temp, has a headache, feels a bit tired and achy..

The booster has been worse than the first two full doses.

But he has had it and that's a good thing.

I'd much rather suffer a little from a vaccine than have full-blown COVID-19.

If I have another jab I will have to prepare beforehand.

If OH was worse or if I had small children I would have needed carers in. As it was OH ended up eating a sandwich for his dinner on Thursday (I think) because I was too out of it to cook and he didnt know what I had planned and didnt like to wake me so he just got a cheese sandwich. He called my daughter to come over because he was worried and didnt know what to do.

The offical line is that my symptoms were considered normal..

That isnt acceptable.

So if I needed another vaccine I would have to cook meals before hand that OH could cook from frozen. Id also arrange before hand that my daughter could come and help him with dog walking etc.

Im sorry but being so unwell from a booster isnt normal and it isnt acceptable and I dont care what anyone says.

I had a terrible reaction from my second jab: I felt absolutely AWFUL. It isn't acceptable for anyone to suffer like that, but there is little choice. I am not an expert on how they develop the vaccines but they did the best job they could do. Still, I see your point.

Besides some soreness at the injection site I was at most a bit "off". Just didn't feel right.

Many drugs are a compromise between the side effects and their level of efficacity. Some drugs are guaranteed to have very unpleasant side effects, it's a question of balance.

And we always have to keep an eve on the known side effects and get in touch with a doctor if they appear.

Should get another email soon to book a booster for the oldest, I think - they're probably doing the same six-month interval for teens.
