I had the same reaction - to not only the Covid vaccine, but also the Quadravaletn flu vaccine in Oct 2020 and the Shingrix vaccine in Jan 2020. My body apparently reacts to the immune system activation with a hyper inflammatory flare. It affects ALL of me - at one point even my scalp hurt. Fortunately my doc figured this out and I am given a two week course of prednisone. That calms it down.
Some good news too. My daughter, who is immune-suppressed, received her 3rd Moderna dose on Tuesday. She had Covid in 2020, 2 doses of the vaccine in December and January, and was very ill each time. The third dose left her with a sore arm, mild aches and mild fatiguee. It just shows that a person will not necessarily react to the vaccine every time.

Hi Sue, wow, that's awful to get a reaction like this to every vaccine you receive. I'm glad to hear that a two week course of prednisone calms it down for you. My doctor gave me a Medrol pack which was I think 6 days. It didn't help at all but I wonder if a regimen similar to yours might have helped more. I'll ask my doctor about it. That's wonderful that your daughter only experienced a mild reaction to her booster shot. Hopefully that third dose will give her plenty of protective antibodies. Many thanks again for your reply!
