If you had Moderna before, consider Pfizer because in my experience it gave me much less discomfort afterwards. I went back to Moderna because I felt more strongly protected, but Pfizer is good enough and better than nothing. Of course your mask will help a lot too.
Oh, is that a known issue with Moderna? I wife and I had only gotten Pfizer before and just got Moderna on Saturday, and we were knocked completely out Sunday and barely functional today. Seemed noticeably harsher.
I'm only speaking anecdotally, I had a reaction of fatigue and fever this time. But for sure in previous versions, Moderna was something like 3x the dose of Pfizer.
You can choose vaccine?
When I last took mine, they just gave me a vaccine, I can't remember which but it's not like I had a choice anyways.
In the California search I have used, https://myturn.ca.gov/, the choice of Pfizer /Moderna/Novovax is a question along with whether you have insurance and your zip code etc. Different answers have led to different pharmacies, according to what they had ordered, I guess, and sometimes different days at the same big CVS. I've nothing to say against any of them. But I think certain groups of people are better off with one or the other depending on their health conditions. Even if there's no choice you can always ask so you know what you got. It should also be in your vaccine record if you want to go back and check.
I’ve had all the shots/boosters, switched from Moderna to Pfizer about halfway through. All Moderna shots hit me like a truck, and I’ve had zero symptoms other than a sore arm from any of my Pfizer shots.
