Yay! You are two months behind us! Lol. We both got them 9/30 ahead of our recent visit. Felt confident with that extra level of protection.

Kenny- the booster is only a half dose so if the only issue you have is a sore arm, I bet it's because of the person who administered the shot not a side effect of the vaccine. (Some folks know the right spot - others not so much.)
Congrats to you for being proactive and helping to protect yourself and those around you.

We had the Pfizer booster when it came out and it was a full dose. I believe on St Maarten they are using the Pfizer.

Yup...that's what he said he got. We got the Moderna a few weeks back and it was a half dose

Ditto. Pfizer is a full shot.

I got my flu shot yesterday. No problems, except it took 45 MINUTES at Walgreens. Ridiculous! At least I got it.

We got our booster three weeks ago. It was Pfizer (as were our first two). I might be confused, but I thought the person giving us the shot said it was a half-dose. I could be wrong. We got all three at the local Hospital.

My understanding is that Pfizer is a full dose, Moderna a half dose.

Not that it matters but I was lead to believe Moderna, which is what DH and I both had, was the full dose booster. Truthfully, I didn’t pay attention to the others but for some reason I thought the J & J was the half dose booster.
How’s that for muddying the waters? 😊😊

Correct. Our Pfizer booster was full dose.

Moderna booster has been and is half-dose.
