Both myself and my fiancée (both teachers) got our Moderna boosters yesterday. We were scheduled to get the Pfizer booster as the Moderna booster was only listed for immunocompromised. But when the pharmacy saw that we had had the Moderna one before they gave it as an option. We both felt a little off last last night with mild sinus headaches. I had a low grade fever this morning, but feeling much better this afternoon.

Got my booster last Thursday at 11am. I got my flu shot in the other arm at the same time too.
Had Pfizer my first 2 and got that for my booster as well.
I was really surprised with the lack of side effects. My shoulder hardly even got sore at all, let alone feeling sick at all. I felt maybe like you do when you are starting to feel something come on and I took some advil but then like an hour later I felt fine and felt fine from then on out. Slept great and woke up feeling fine too and had no shoulder soreness.

The kid's doses are much lower, 10mg for Pfizer.Well, it's no wonder the Moderna vaccine is showing better longevity than Pjizer. Moderna's vaccine is a 100mg while Pfizer is using 30 mg. That is why the Pfizer is being used for the 5-12 year olds.

How three Covid-19 vaccines — from Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J — stack up against one another.www.statnews.com
Since you can mix and match with the booster shots, I'm going with Moderna when I get the booster next week.
Regarding arm pain, that is caused by the needle, not the vaccine. It is significantly less if you keep your muscle relaxed and don't tense up at the moment of injection. I tensed at my first dose and had significant arm pain for 4 days. With the second, I kept it relaxed and had minor pain for one day.
Arm pain is not from the needle, a saline shot will not give you a sore spot, while a Tdap vaccine will make your whole shoulder hurt for days.

It's either or both, actually. A needle in your muscle can cause inflammation of the muscle.
Why Does the COVID-19 Vaccine Cause a Sore Arm?
The COVID-19 vaccine can spur some commonly known side effects, with one of the most prominently discussed being a sore arm at the injection site.

Got my booster on Monday morning. Was a little tired later in the afternoon, but that was mostly because I got to bed late on Sunday. Arm was a bit sore yesterday. Otherwise fine now. It was a lot more mild than the first two. The booster slapped my wife around pretty good. My 9 y/o get's his first dose tomorrow. Working towards the entire house being vaxxed. Soon...

Rather irrelevant. Delta itself spread like wildfire through the population.
To the point, a study of the Provencetown Delta outbreak makes it clear:

Got the Moderna booster Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Locally they were also giving away $50 gift cards so I got one of those for my trouble also. My arm was sore for maybe 3 days after, probably because I wore long sleeves I had to roll way up, and I likely tensed my arm too much holding my sleeve up.
The wife got hers the Friday after. they had run out of gift cards, but being able to walk in and git 'er done was nice. She had no issues, except a slightly sore arm, and she thought she felt tired the day after, which may or may not have been from the shot.

Wife and I made a date of it, getting Pfizer #3 (me) and J&J #2 (her). Also got a flu shot while I was there.

Wow, where are you getting $50 gift cards? Already a pretty sweet deal getting the boosters for free but I wouldn't turn down a few bucks thrown in too haha.
Returned to Germany a few days ago and got my booster, a bit sore on the injection site but other than that nothing. This is a nobrainer, get every shot you are recommended to get and when the updated vaccine comes around, get that too.

The ruling is a setback for the administration’s effort to require vaccination for hospital and nursing home workers, which had been set to start next week.
Why are you worry? Are you not confident that SCOTUS will overturn this ruling?Fucking Trump judges shitting on the law some more.

Pretty confident, yes. But annoying they are delaying it and causing confusion over bullshit politics instead of actually following the law.
One of the worse parts of the pandemic is the extent to which a radicalized judiciary has interfered with basic public health measures. 50 years ago the idea that churches could just opt out of any laws they didn’t feel like following would have been laughed at.
