What are the common side effects of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine?

Can you mix and match the vaccines for your mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) primary vaccination series?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new guidelines say that people who are fully protected against the coronaviruses can now mix and match their immunizations when seeking a booster
How long after the COVID-19 booster is it effective?
After one or two weeks after the booster jab, studies have shown very high protection. A Pfizer trial shows that a booster dose of Pfizer can prevent illness from Covid-19 for seven days.
Should I get a second booster shot for COVID-19?

Can COVID-19 vaccines protect people against the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it has mutated?
Research done by the CDC shows that coronaviruses vaccine boosters are effective in preventing severe COVID-19. The CDC encourages boosters for people who are eligible, and recommends that they stay up to date with all the vaccines.
