Sheril KirshenbaumI got the new #COVID mRNA vaccine. If it’s available where you are, it’s a great way to protect you & your community from serious illness.
Colorado Carol 🌻@Sheril I've been grateful for all 6 Modernas but I'm holding off a bit this time to see if Novavax is approved. If not, I'll get Moderna again but I have pretty severe nausea, fever, aches for 36 hours after and I heard Novavax may not cause as much discomfort.
Secret Squirrel@ColoradoCarol @Sheril I also had similar side effects. On my last one, I switched to Pfizer and alternated acetaminophen* (paracetamol if you're British) and Ibuprofen for 24 hours. Not sure which made the difference, but I felt fine.
*talk to your pharmacist and be careful not to OD on this stuff if you value your liver
