COVID Booster Shot - ✔️

Finally got my booster shot!

I received my booster shot this morning at Walgreens!!! Apparently this one had just opened up 4 days ago, which was also exciting!

Its crazy to think how things have changed so much from last year to even this May when I was fully vaccinated to now being boosted. I remember being hesitant to do a lot, as were many others! I am so happy that the vaccines and boosters are now available to everyone 5 and older!

I hope this alleviates a lot of the fears everyone is having and most importantly that people can see their loved ones this holiday season!

Symptoms:

I was fine, until later afternoon, my entire arm is now sore and I may have fallen asleep earlier, unclear if it was the topic at hand or if it was the booster though, but I am fine otherwise!

Update:

Thursday night - it was painful putting on my PJs and to lift my arm

Friday - my arm was a bit weak and could not really use it, it still hurt to raise my arm but I could use it more than yesterday and was painful when you touched the shot area, but much better than Thursday

Saturday - arm feels less weak/tired, but noticeably still weaker than my other arm and only minor pain if you poke the injection site (AM), no pain when you poke the arm but still weak (PM)
