Same here: mild muscle ache for the Pfizer booster. If I didn't know I'd had the booster the previous day, I would have attributed it to falling asleep on a lumpy part of my comforter or something, assuming I'd even noticed it at all.
My understanding is the Moderna booster, being a 1.5x dose, often results in stronger side effects that knock a person out more often.
- pinkorchid 5y agoThe Moderna booster is actually a half dose, although I don't know if it tends to have stronger side effects than the first two full doses.

- newsbinator 5y agoIt's half the giant Moderna dose (100 mcg / 2 = 50 mcg), and 60% more than the standard/booster Pfizer dose (30 mcg).
