Finally. Pfizer and Moderna really need to find a way to reign in the side effects. Pretty much nobody I know is getting the latest shot (except those who are high risk) and the side effects are the main reason. These are all people who got the initial round and maybe even the first booster.

I have gotten every booster including the optional ones but I completely understand people's hesitance to stay up to date on them even if the government was able to do a good job at messaging. Being out 24-48 hours w fever and aches absolutely sucks, let alone not being able to get time off work for it. And then they still have a decent chance of getting covid anyways which leads to them wondering what the point of getting the shot in the first place even was.
