I did have very mild reactions to the original two-dose COVID treatment, then nothing with the first booster. I recently had the first dose of the shingles vaccine and that really affected me, far worse than the COVID shots! Down for two days, then two more just taking it easy. But considering what my brother went through when he came down with shingles (itchiness, shooting pain), and some of shingles long-tern effects, the reaction to the shot is worth it. Second shingles shot booked for early-June.
