I am under 65 and immune suppressed (CVS well aware, they fill most of my prescriptions). They didn't hassle me or charge me money out of pocket - I have private insurance. My arm was sore for at least 24 hours, but Advil helped. Small price to pay.

Being immune suppressed, the early Pfizer shots did not produce antibodies (I was in a research study so I had my antibody levels); but the Moderna shots helped a lot. I have now had 10 vaccines total. I don't blame people who are perfectly healthy if they want to take their chances, but I appreciate that these boosters are still available for over 65 and those like me who have chronic health issues.
