Of course they didn't... Stay healthy, Tabitha!
That's good to hear! DW and I had to postpone ours as we unfortunately got covid again in October (second time in 8 months despite being triple jabbed in 2021). We have had our omicron boosters now (and also flu jabs, had mine - quadrivalent - at the same time in the other arm). Wether it was the flu or the omicron jab I don't know but this was the only one that I felt really ill after, though it only lasted a day (maybe that's a good thing if it elicited a strong response from my immune system?). I also had the worst arm pain from a vaccination that I've ever had (in the covid arm).The first real-world data on the new omicron vaccines find that they are better at preventing symptomatic Covid infections than the earlier doses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

Covid, flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are together driving a national wave of respiratory illnesses.Is it Covid, flu or RSV? A chart compares the most common symptoms of each virus
The three viruses have been driving a national wave of infections, and they share many common symptoms.
Around 76% of U.S. hospital inpatient beds are full, according to data from the Department of Health and Human Services. Pediatric beds are at a similar level, though six states have 90% or more of their pediatric beds full, according to an NBC News analysis of HHS data.
Covid, flu and RSV can be difficult to distinguish, since they share many common symptoms. But it's useful to know which virus you have, since that determines the treatments you should receive and how long you should isolate.
Certain hallmarks — either symptoms or how the illness progresses — can help differentiate each virus. Here are five factors to consider...

The omicron booster shots performed better in preventing infections in all adult age groups, with more protection for people who waited longer to get them.
The findings fortify messaging from public health officials that the new shots, from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, should provide people with the best protection against Covid this winter, according to the CDC report.
Both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s new boosters target BA.4 and BA.5, along with the original coronavirus strain, in a single dose.
The vaccine efficacy from the new boosters isn't "stellar," said Dr. Ofer Levy, the director of the Precision Vaccines Program at Boston Children’s Hospital, noting that scientists would love to see a vaccine that blocks infections entirely.
But, he said, it is "something" and outperforms earlier doses of the original formulation...
It has been four months since my last booster- I believe that we should be getting that Bivalent booster, but i think it is just a bit soon- I am thinking of waiting at least another month before I get that booster. I do have to say I am a little skittish about getting boosters so often. I know reactions are rare but they happen - it still makes me nervous to get the vaccine-- but of course I do it--
IMO, there's no reason not to get the bivalent shot if it's available to you. I got mine in September, previous booster was in May.
Just get the latest one, the bivalent one. See:
I think you should go ahead and get the bivalent booster now. MOO
