Received my Pfizer booster shot yesterday, along with this year's flu-shot. Took both in my right shoulder but in no time the left began to hurt more. Finished the evening with a vast headache, but now, just a bit sore overall.
The medical attendant had no answers to my general questions and suggested I try Google. Avoiding the usual disinformation, I read on WebMD that the Pfizer vaccine in March was rated as 87% effective against the Delta variant, but that I could expect 45% efficacy by the end of the seven months after I received my 2nd dose.
Also, according to Fauci, one's immunity ramps back up within a few days after getting the booster --- with peak protection occurring two to four weeks thereafter.
With heavy travel expected this holiday season I'm assuming that hospitals everywhere are preparing for a rise in flu and Covid cases. Let's all do our part to keep those numbers down if we can.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
