I don't know if you guys got any side effects. After the first dose nothing happend (Pfizer), after the second dose I lost my breath after a couple of weeks, got dizzy during a walk, then lost consciousness, and was rushed to the hospital. They couldn't find anything wrong, but I had a seisure. I still took the 3rd dose but at an ER, but my co-workers thought I was an idiot for taking that risk after what happend after the 2nd dose.
What I learned was to not rush into physical activities quickly if you had a fever etc. My oxigene level was at 75% when I came to the hospital. I took moderna as the 3rd doze, but was very careful with physical activities, and nothing happend.

I had very minimal side effects from Pfizer - basically, felt sick the next afternoon/evening and some brain fog for a couple more days, but that's it. Moderna had me bed-ridden for 3+ days afterwards both times (2nd shot and booster). Nothing serious, just like a really terrible cold/mild flu. Enough that I'm going to avoid Moderna going forward if I can, but not enough for me to consider it dangerous or anything like that.
Just got my fourth dose if Pfizer today. If it's anything like the last two I'll probably get a fever and headache for 24hrs. First I didn't have any reaction.
I had Omicron in March and I'm glad I got three doses, which turned it into mostly a lingery cold. Can't imagine what no vaccination would be like.

I had my 2nd booster(4th shot) on Saturday. Sore arm, exhausted yesterday, but other than that, good to go. I'd say my second shot was the worst I've experienced, but nothing more than a fever. (All Pfizer)

All three shots Pfizer, and was lucky to have only felt a slight sore arm for a day each time.
Coming off having COVID last week. Not the worst thing in the world. But as I've had others tell me, it's true that you feel off and know it is different once you get it. It took about 3 days to get back to feeling normal, although it'll be one of those lingering colds/coughs.
As Bender suggests above, thankful to have the vaccine, and those who remain unvaccinated are playing with fire. Even if it isn't severe for them, or they don't even feel a thing, I would not want the virus swirling in my body unprotected with what it may cause down the road.

Very similar to a lot of you - 3 doses of Moderna here, had pretty bad brain fog after each dose (especially the first 2) for 24 hours. I've got a bunch of travel coming up in the next month, so I am hoping to get my 4th dose in shortly.
I had covid in April and it had me down and out for 9 days of cold/flu/allergy symptoms, the most aggravating was fatigue that just disappeared completely on day 10. And, I had the same thoughts - how bad would that have been without any vaccine doses?

Certain groups in Sweden have been able to take the 2nd booster dose for about 7 months. I'm not in a risk group, and I haven't been offered to take the 2nd booster dose (4 in total) and the cases of corona in increasing again. I wish that I could take my 2nd booster at an ER, but I'm not allowed yet, and I keep hearing that plenty of doses here go to waste, since no one is taking them, I want to, but I am not allowed to
This is annoying.
Good to see that you guys have been able to take the vaccine without a major problem

I got my 4th shot yesterday - all 4 Pfizer. I actually feel pretty good (I had some pretty bad fatigue after number 2, but other than that, they all went smoothly), but my arm hurts more with this one than any of the first 3. I can barely lift it. My understanding thought is that might have to do more with either the nurse or a dull needle than the vaccine itself.

Moderna booster is in and has been for a couple of weeks.
It burned a bit going in (maybe the cryo temp?) and my arm was very tight and sore for about 2 days starting about 5 hrs after injection with some tingling in the fingers towards the end of the second day. Some mild fatigue day 1, but not nearly as much as I expected. No other ill-effects.
I received the dose at a local pharmacy (literally downstairs in my building) vs the long line-up pop ups I waited in for the first 3, so that was a pleasant bonus.

The boosters were the same formulation (an immune system reminder). There have been subsequent bivalent formulations (I got that one too).

In the meantime, Ontario continues to be frustratingly late with half-measures. Pediatric icus are beyond maxed out.
