Getting the Shakes from my Covid Booster

Yesterday afternoon I got my second Covid-19 vaccine booster. I planned the shot two weeks ago after deciding not wait. It's my 4th shot total.
This morning I had some side effects from the shot. I woke up with body aches. Soon I was sweating all over and had a below-normal body temperature. I took some OTC pain meds to deal with the aches/fever and took a shower to refresh from the sweats. Within another hour I was feeling better.
These side effects are milder than after the initial two shots and the first booster. I wasn't sure what to expect for round 4 but I figured it would be milder. After all, this is my body's 4th time mounting a defense against a simulated spike protein virus.
