I had a spinal stroke in 2018 which resulted in neuropathy (among other things) and it got worse after my 2 Moderna shots and the first booster. In fact the symptoms were more severe and lasted longer every time. Having said that, 6 weeks is not that long and the side effects of long Covid could be worse. I'm getting my second booster this week and my doctor suggested to give me just half a dose as it would probably work just as well and might have fewer/shorter lasting side effects. Did anyone else do this and if so, what were the results?

Getting the Moderna booster today (half a dose) and will keep you updated here.

Hello @ninette. I am so sorry to hear of your spinal stroke and resulting neuropathy. Because you are interested in connecting with members on the topic of covid vaccines, you will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on this topic which you can find here:

I am not sure if you are aware of this, however, the monovalent Moderna covid booster was actually designed as half doses in comparison to a full dose Pfizer. Perhaps the half dose of the bivalent booster is the same?
