She states she did not have any life-threatening symptoms at all, and this was her booster Covid 19 vaccine. She wants to know if this is common with the booster vaccine.

She received her Covid 19 booster vaccine at a pharmacy and she is surprised she had this reaction. She will probably talk to her doctor but probably would not get another Covid 19 booster vaccine.
