But, according to reports, you may experience dehydration, or extra thirst, after your top-up shot.
Dr LaTasha Perkins, a family physician in Washington, told Huffington Post: “People have different symptoms when they get their immunizations, but I have heard of people feeling a little bit thirsty.
“That’s not an uncommon finding.”
Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Director of Patientaccess.com, told The Sun: “I definitely haven’t heard anyone complain of this, nor have I seen any research which suggests this is the case.”
There are a couple of theories as to why this “side effect” – which has not been confirmed or seen in clinical trials – may occur.
Natasha Bhuyan, a physician at primary care US-based practice One Medical, said: “If someone is nervous about the vaccine, that can cause dry mouth, as anxiety is linked to dry mouth.”
It could be because a common side effect of the jab is a fever.
When someone’s temperature shoots up, it can lead to dehydration.
Dr Vivek Cherian previously told said, “A fairly common side effect after getting vaccinated is developing a fever, which can lead to fluid loss and dehydration via sweating.”
Experts said there is no reason to be concerned if you become a little more thirsty after your jab, especially if it’s as fixable as drinking some more water.
“But keep in mind: It’s only your immune system responding.”
Thirst has not been acknowledged as a genuine side effect of the Covid-19 Booster Shots.
But, on the other hand, people are generally encouraged to keep their hydration levels up around the time of the jab.
Other lesser-known “side effects” of vaccination have been identified by doctors, including alterations to periods and “Covid toes”.
In terms of Covid-19 Booster Shots, it may be the case that people feel more unwell than their first two doses due to the “mix and matching” of Astrazeneca and Pfizer.
Covid-19 Booster Shots are being given as the key defence against the new super strain Omicron, which is expected to dodge immunity to some extent.
