And you think "proper effect" is...? Dayglo urine? Oh sorry, that's usually excess vitamin B2.

Do you have published data for this? The NHS suggest 400IU is the correct dosage for children over 4 and adults. Perhaps 15 years ago an infant feeding specialist I know working in the Asian community, where pregnant women are especially vulnerable to deficiency, recommended the supplement. I've used vitamin D daily ever since.
Without researching every possible source I have seen 400IU on sale at £3.95/96 and 4000IU at £14.95/96. Its not unusual to see 3000IU for sale at three times the price of 400IU. You are suggesting people should spend possibly four times what appears necessary.

I'm the same. Slightly sore arm for a couple of days (well, I notice it at night mainly as I sleep on my side) and still not had C-19 ... yet.

I've had my 4th booster jab and haven't had a sore arm or reaction to any of them.
I'd like to think it's 'cos I'm dead hard, but probably just lucky.

Arm seems ok now. A 10k run and some gardening seems to have sorted it.

Mine was probably still slightly bruised from the flu jab I had a few days earlier so the soreness lasted maybe 72 hours (but only really 'feelable' at night when lying on my side). No lethargy or other side effects.

MrsF still sore from the flu jab - think the Nurse just lobbed it in.
My colleague is still off sick, looking like another month at least speaking to his line manager - concerning as he's only 40, does cycle a lot, but has asthma.
Another colleague just gone off with it and is properly poorly, and she'd just had her booster. I think genetics and health conditions play a big part with this virus.
No signs of being called up here - my folks are "done" though !

If she tensed up - even subconsciously - before or while it was going in, it's more likely to be sore. So it's best not to watch it being done on yourself, as it's very difficult to avoid a slight unwitting tension as the needle approaches the skin.
I'm certain you're right about genetics; we already know about increased risks with some health conditions, and with increasing age. Those with those health conditions, or who are very old, but who happen to have the 'right' genetics for C-19, are the 'exceptions' which prove the rule and allow the very elderly asthmatic to recover well from C-19, or even not to catch it in the first place.
I'm sure there is ongoing research into this, but like most genetic linkages, it will be probably be extremely complex.

Had my 4th jab (booster) yesterday and this is the first one I’ve had a mild reaction to. Muzzy headache and achey legs, plus the obligatory sore arm, but it’s a small amount to deal with in comparison to what the alternative could be without the jab and if I get Covid. Have avoided it so far, somehow, as virtually everyone I know, socially and at work, has had it.

I've had my 4th as I've an immune suppression condition but suffered no reaction to it, as all the others, don't think I've had Covid but never really had a need to test?

Vaccines delivered up the nose offer convenience and patient preference; and are already used extensively for protection against flu, especially in children. Recent Phase 1 trial report is out for the AZ vaccine intranasally: sub-optimal responses.

I wish they had given me my flu vaccine nasally yesterday. Between that and a pneumonia jab I was unexpectedly offered at the same time and accepted, my right shoulder is really tender and for the last 24 hours I have felt like I have been at the wrong end of a beating.
(Although I appreciate were I to be unvaccinated and catch one of the diseases I am likely to feel much worse).

Didn't they offer you one in each arm?
