My husband and I have been getting the stronger dose for a number of years now. The worst side effect was, on occasion, some minor soreness in our arm. Mostly, we had no problems at all. We’ve had our pneumonia shot as well as the new RSV and will take our next Covid vac. soon. Our doctors have encouraged us to get vaccinated. We believe in them.

Last year I got Flublok instead of Fluzone because of the egg in Fluzone. I am not technically allergic to eggs but a lab test showed intestinal allergy to them and I cannot eat them. I do not know if any of that would translate to the stronger vaccine with egg component.
