41 Had booster 5, Moderna, and feel pretty crap. I wanted to go out flying this evening, but bed is likely to be the only place I will be going.
Still if it means i can go out flying and go to the gym for the next 3-4 months, then so be it. It's better than having Covid (which I've had a couple of times).

121 I’m due for my fifth near the end of next month. My significant other and I are both immunocompromised and high risk.
She hasn’t had a bad reaction to any of them. First 3 I had were Moderna and I felt like I got hit by a truck- last one I got was Pfizer and I was expecting to just curl up on the sofa and feel miserable, but I barely had any reaction and was outside flying the same night. Think I’m gonna go with Pfizer again next month.

41 I would have loved Pfizer. I had that last time and like you, nothing. Moderna seems to be a bit of a sledgehammer with me. I have a headache, numb arm and a bit of a temperature. But it's honestly nothing compared to Astra. That kicked my ass good and proper. I had anaphylaxis to my first two Astra shots, plus some serious flu like symptoms for the first week. They told me I couldn't have Pfizer back then, because it had killed some people who had allergies, but when i was eventually cleared to have it, it was the best out of them all and I had no side effects at all.
Good luck to you both when you have yours next month. Being immunocompromised is a real PITA. I actually became immunocompromised because of Covid. The meds I took to treat my first bout of Covid at the start of the pandemic nuked my ability to produce Cortisol, but they hope to reverse it at some point in the next couple of years.

121 Yeah. Knowing that something as simple as a cold can kill you or send you to the hospital/icu is super less than fun.
People seem to understand what it means to be immunocompromised a bit better now, so that’s at least one positive thing to come out of this pandemic.
