Spryte Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Do we have a thread about this already? DD 11 had her Moderna bivalvent booster yesterday. She’s running 103.3 today, and feeling pretty miserable. This is her first Moderna shot, she’s only had Pfizer up till now. What kind of side effects are your kids having, if they’ve had theirs? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 7 year old had no side effects whatsoever. Had Pfizer up until now and got Moderna. Got Covid and Flu at the same time and no reactions from those and not even complaints of a sore arm. 14 and 16 year old got Pfizer a few weeks back. I wish the Moderna would have been on the table for the 16 year old. I think I still wouldn't have done it for my ds. They had mild side effects. They had also had mild side effects to their first booster. Tiredness. A bit of not feeling so hot. I wish I would have had my 9 get flu and covid together based off of my 7 year old's experience. But I am thinking for my 12 year old it is good to space the out as it is a step up in dosage and wondering if that will hit a little harder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 We got Pfizer. 12 year old daughter had a low grade fever. 13 yo son slight headache, slight body aches. overall, only lasted a day. And it wasn’t really much of anything. They were still able to attend church service online and play on their iPads all day. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Two 13yos got flu and Pfizer booster at the same time. Zero side effects. Both of them had a sleepy day after a previous Covid shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 My 17 year old (not sure you count him as a kid) got his 2 weeks ago. He got the Pfizer booster. He was tired and achy for two days, and then by the evening of the second day just suddenly felt great. He got his flu shot at the same time, but he never reacts to the flu shot, but I don't know if that had an effect or not on the overall reaction for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wathe Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 my 13yo and 14yo got their pfizer bivalent boosters yesterday. No complains from either of them so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 DS had just a sore arm from his (Pfizer), same as I had from mine (Moderna). DH and my BFF both have Big Reactions to all vaccines and reported feeling sickish the following day. The individual seems to make much more difference than what actually is administered. We've started joking about it: *I get a vaccine.* My body, mildly annoyed: Look, now you have a little hole in your arm! That's going to hurt for like two days, dummy. Haven't you heard of long sleeves? Stay away from thorny things next time. (Oh, and a couple of germs got in, too, but I took care of that.) *BFF gets the same vaccine* Her body, channeling Churchill for 24-72 hours: We shall fight in the bloodstream; we shall fight in the respiratory tract. We shall mount a fever of the highest calibre, diverting all available resources. We shall never, NEVER surrender! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD and I are like your BFF. Channeling Churchill is our new code word! 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
