Had my latest booster vaccine (that’s how they’re describing it here in Au) on Thu. Bit of a sore arm with the red rash for a day or so and felt very flat Sat arvo after a 90min easy ride - but it was also the first real hot day of the year here at around 35 degrees… so could equally have been that. Today (Monday) I busted out a 5x5 VO2 session and got a new power PR. My booster vaccine was Pfizer.
I got both Covid and seasonal flu shots last Monday evening. Next day I was totally cooked, extremely low energy for about 24 hours post shot. This has been my experience with every Covid shot so far.
I’ve heard that a strong reaction to the shots indicates that the vaccine will be more effective. Not sure if that’s true or not, but as one data point I still have yet to test positive for Covid!
Just a quick follow-up….horrible night sleep. Jacked HR, couldn’t settle in to sleep for more than about 30 minutes, etc. finally got up and went downstairs at 3:00….
Feeling better now, though….just working from home today and taking it easy.
Compared to my other COVID shots, this was pretty minor.
