Will you be taking a booster?

JacksonHeightsOwn · 27-12-2021 04:48PM

Out of curiosity, has anybody else had a feeling of a "dead arm" come on a few days AFTER having their booster?

I had the booster 8 days ago, felt a bit off the day after, but nothing out of the ordinary.

But since Christmas eve my right arm is really annoying me. It feels like my like I've been sitting on my arm and it's dead, if you know what i mean.

I was so worried about it I actually went to A&E, did bloods, xrays etc but found nothing.

It'd be interesting to see if anyone else is experiencing anything similar.

Are hotels checking vaccine certs.

I've a civil wedding tomorrow (groomsman)

Just checked mine and in typical fashion I got my second jab on 27th of June so my cert is out tomorrow.

Waiting for pharmacy to call me for my booster which should be next week.

Thanks, was it changed at some stage? It said 6 months when googled it.

i was reluctant to getting the Moderna booster and wanted to wait for the Pfizer booster like my original vaccines.

the booster experience was horrendous and I still have side effects.

got the booster at 10am on the 22nd Dec

within 2 hours I had severe pain in my arm, went to bed at 7pm due to fatigue.

that night had fever of 38.6c waking up freezing every 30min and my OH thought I was delusional with what was coming out of my mouth during the night.

since the 22nd I’ve had extreme fatigue and if I go out I have hot flushes within minutes.

Never again with these boosters.

Currently fighting my daily headache since the shot.

blade1 · 27-12-2021 05:34PM

jaysus I'm hoping this booster is better than my last two jabs.i got moderna and was sick for 40 hours after both.

Second one was worst though.

Pains all over and even a bit of delirium.

Clinical trials are long complete, ongoing study into the medicines is, well, ongoing, as happens with all new medicines released to the market.

When the 2023 study is completed, they will start other ones.

What's your opinion on the safety of the vaccines and boosters? Anything coherent to add? (remember to check your sources before posting and if it's only on bitchute, you're the mark...).

I don't think we have a date for when Ireland will enforce boosters as part of the cert yet, international travel will require it.

Amias · 27-12-2021 05:40PM

Do certs automatically get updated with reference to the booster?

I had similar to you but it disappeared after two days. Moderna booster after having had Pfizer initially. You are just unlucky.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with luck. These vaccines have both mild and severe side effects.

1- Pfizer - mild

2- Pfizer - mild

3 - Moderna - Severe

Experiencing Side effects 5 days later is not something I will just brush off.

Personally that is the last of my Covid Vaccines.

My 2nd dose was well over 6 months ago and my cert is still valid

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118378834#Comment_118378834

Correct. I had the same sequence, and was out of action for 3 days with the booster.

I would not take Moderna again.

It "expires" in relation to it being valid for intra-EU travel up to 9 months after your second dose, and that won't kick in until February 1st.

Tomredz · 28-12-2021 10:30AM

Got 2 jabs plus the booster and will continue to get more as needed.

I'm 61 and very fit, healthy, active and slim. I hike, swim and cycle. I take Vitamin D and C daily. I was really sick after both Astra Zeneca vaccines, they completely floored me for 5/6 days both times. So far I have not got any booster and am not planning to. I would prefer to get Omicron. I travelled to Europe and Norway twice last year on my Covid pass and the only reason I would get a booster is to travel.

I simply cant understand younger people saying they will get a 4th vaccine/booster too when its available?? Our natural immune systems will be completely wiped out after all these vaccines in such a short space of time. What happened to letting our bodies get something and recover naturally (unless of course you have an underlying condition). Why is nobody even discussing their own natural immunity which is something we always relied on in the past?

I got a bad virus in September, a cough, and head cold symptoms. I had a PCR and Antigen.....it wasn't Covid. Within a week I was over it by simply using over the counter remedies and taking it easy. I am delighted that I have an immune system that works as it should and now I have natural immunity to that virus! I understand sick people getting boosters but why is everyone else lining up for boosters and already looking forward to their 4th ? We are over Delta and Omicron has proved itself to be no more severe than a bad cold. Surely we should just be getting Omicron like we would get a seasonal head cold?

well, I am not sure if this is a realistic date, as it looks some EU countries (Ireland included) have not included the booster in their "complete" vaccination scheme as of now (so too many "officials" still don't know/publish today how would the scenario where 3rd vaccine is taken in a different EU country than the cert emitting one be handled); I am very interested in this scenario, as I will have ties with 3 EU countries in regards the vaccines, and appears my question is too early: there are no solutions for this end of December !!!

In what is it too early in Ireland? People in my age cohort (30s) won't have their cert expire until around May without a booster and yet we can get our booster officially from tomorrow (if not already through GPs).

Every age cohort will comfortably be offered a booster within 9 months of their second dose, with many months to spare.

Chivito550 · 28-12-2021 11:39AM

Got my booster on 21st. Tested positive on antigen on 26th.

No more vaccines for me.

That's not how immune systems work, it's always the natural immune system doing the work (unless you're getting other non vaccine treatments such as over the counter remedies...).

Much the same. Just can't understand this lemming like rush to be lab rats for what are basically live vaccine trials on humans by pharma companies racking up huge profits. Was happy enough to take initial two dose vaccine on basis of preventing serious illness. But can't see any merit in stampeding large sections of the already vaccinated population into 'boosters'. Fine for people who may have poor health but for otherwise healthy people, seems very unwise. If vaccines are useful, we should be doing all in our power to distribute them to the rest of the world instead of this conscience salving 'get a vaccine, give a vaccine' crowd fundraising thing.

anon474856 · 28-12-2021 01:04PM

Anyone know if they'll turn you away from a walk in centre because you're technically restricting movements?

Fiancé had a close contact in work which he found out about the next day after the colleague did an antigen. He started restricting his movements immediately, but only got the HSE close contact text 3 days later 🙄 his 10 days from the actual close contact event expires tomorrow, but will the booster clinic turn him away as he still has another 3 days to go according to the HSE text? Needless to say he's tested negative everyday!

We're keen to get our boosters asap as the 5 day movement restriction will be very handy when we're inevitably exposed again!!!

landofthetree · 28-12-2021 01:42PM

Cant be bothered for now. It wont bring back normal. I have no real interest in socialising with the current set of rules and the inflation we are seeing in pubs/restaurants.

Luckily for the bedwetters in government who are deluding themselves that boosters are important I will probably get it for travel. Thats how they will get most of us to accept it.

"Give a vaccine" means donating to cover the cost of administration of the vaccine (and getting the vaccine physically to those in need of it), that's what's needed. Supply of vaccines isn't the issue, nor is western countries using them, SA has been turning back vaccines as they don't have the infrastructure to roll out what they have (30% vax rate currently).

It's not a conscience salve unless you wrongly think that it's the literal physical vaccine that's the issue (it isn't). It's also a pretty sh*tty comment to make about those who are donating to the effort.

There shouldn't be any teams. It's a ridiculous notion really. Many vaccines have done an incredible amount of good for society in human history.

These are new vaccines. And I would personally not really judge anyone for choosing to be cautious around taking them. It's a personal medical choice.

As a direct comparison, I have given blood regularly in my life. Giving blood is vital to society.

But I do not believe in compelling or bullying anyone into giving blood. I have on occasions stopped giving blood for extended periods of time, for my own private reasons. I do not owe anyone an explanation for this decision. It's my body, my blood, and my personal medical choice.

I feel the same way about these vaccines. It's nobody else's business whether you choose to take these vaccines or boosters. But forming these ridiculous "teams" pro / anti-vax, is just lowest common denominator BS! (imho)

It's not going to happen until at least Jan 15th anyway and the ink is barely dry on the EU agreement. AFAIK individual countries have to approve it first.

its too early as in ... they don't have the process sorted out ; why would i care about the 30+ cohort ? my cert would expire in February, and today I have no way to register on my Irish cert the booster I got last week while abroad; I was told ... something will be published soon on this (guess they are working on it).

Will you be taking a booster?
