Journey through Covid-19

28 October 2021 I had my Booster – My Experience My last Pfizer vaccination shot was done in April. After six months later, I had my booster on Tuesday (26 October), also on Pfizer.

For nearly 48 hours, I had low-grade fever (37.4 - 37.5 degrees) that did not go away. The corresponding effects were lethargy and body ache. This was not the case for my first two vaccination shots. I had slight fever at nights only back then.

I took one Panadol every six-hourly period over two days. The panadol relieved the fever for the six hours and the fever came on again after that. The fever broke only this morning much to my relief.

I hope to believe that my immune system is coping all right with sufficient anti-bodies against Covid-19 since I have a reaction to the vaccination.

Seniors aged 60 and above can simply walk into any vaccination centre, polyclinic or participating GP to get their booster shots without prior appointment. I did that by walking to a vaccination centre near my home on Tuesday. It was not a hassle and there is no waiting time for my jab. It is that simple.

I would recommend that husband and wife take the jabs separately with an interval of one week. So that spouse can support each other should there be side effects to the vaccine jab.
