Anecdata, but I had no side effects from 2x Pfizer, then ~24h flu/hangover symptoms from a Moderna booster. Friends’ experiences equally unpredictable. So… you may get no symptoms at all from a booster - and may be worth switching the manufacturer?
Bigger picture, while it’s totally your choice, I’d dispute your logic RE: not accepting a booster. COVID is mostly somewhere between minimal and a week or two of unpleasant symptoms in most cases, but more rarely can obviously cause major symptoms including death, and also ‘long COVID’. This is what you’re hedging against with a vaccine. As unpleasant as 24-72hrs of feeling crappy is, I’d take it over months of ‘long COVID’, and obviously over anything worse.
