Covid 19: Are You Offered Vaccinations Every 6 Months, Do You Get Any Side Effects? And Which Brand Vaccine Are You Offered ?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Brighton, England, United Kingdom

Here in the UK we get a text letting us know to get our Covid 19 booster every 6 Months. I had my booster done yesterday. This time it was SpikeVax (Moderna Brand),which has given me a slight Cold today and sore Arm and Muscle ache. I hope to be back to normal tommorow. My previous vaccination back in April did make me quite ill. But this time its not as bad.

I got my flu and my Covid. I didn’t have any problems but a week or two later I started to feel like I was getting a cold, but it still haven’t gotten it. Maybe it’s my head.

I’m booked in for my flu and 9th Covid vaccine next week. Glad the effects soon wore off @A myHIVteam Member 😊
