I was abducted by aliens

or was I sick? It should be either of the two

I missed two days of writing my shorts. I was thinking of giving you a story that I was abducted by aliens and that would have been cool but the truth is.. I got sick. Because of the booster shot.

I don’t get sick easily but I have my allergies to paracetamol that’s why I just take tylenol for whatever.

According to Pfizer, about 3.8% of their clinical trial participants experienced fatigue as a side effect and 2% got a headache. Moderna says 9.7% of their participants felt fatigued and 4.5% got a headache.

The CDC reports common side effects on the arm where the shot was administered include:

• Pain

• Redness

• Swelling

Common side effects in the body include:

• Tiredness

• Headache

• Muscle pain

• Chills

• Fever

• Nausea

To reduce pain at the injection site, the CDC recommends to apply a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the surface. Health officials also recommend to use or exercise the injected arm.

Have you had your booster shot already? And have you been abducted by aliens?
