40, but same story. I just got over Omicron last week. It was roughly the same experience I had when I got the first Moderna shot. I rarely get the flu, and never get a flu shot for the same reason— the shot guarantees me a week of flu symptoms. At some point, I’ll be far enough along the risk curve to warrant that annual unpleasantness, but I’m not there yet.
- micromacrofoot 5y agoisn’t it possible that your experience with omicron was only similar to the shot reaction because you had some immunity?
- gameswithgo 5y agoof course, but he is going to continue to have some immunity for a long time
- dml2135 5y agoCertainly possible, but not necessarily. I had covid before the vaccines, and the vaccines were way worse in terms of intensity of discomfort. Covid was still worse in terms of duration. But I won’t be getting a booster more often than maybe 2 years, as this becomes endemic.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 5y agoSince we are doing anecdotal stories, I also had COVID before the vaccines and the disease was far, far, worse than the reactions I got from the shots. And I had rather shitty reactions from the shots as well. My reactions to the shots were about the same as what you described for your shots. I am younger than you and reasonably healthy.
