COVID Booster Side Effects Similar To 2nd Vaccine Dose

(Undated) — Vaccinated people can expect the same side effects from the COVID booster shot that they got from their second dose of the vaccine. That’s according to a CDC study published Tuesday. Those side effects are mainly mild to moderate and the most commonly reported issues were arm pain, fatigue, and headaches. The side effects normally kicked in the day after getting the booster shot, with roughly 28 percent of people saying they couldn’t go about their day-to-day activities because of the side effects. Almost three-million Americans have received a booster since they were made available to those with compromised immune systems in late August.
