I got my booster today and live with mom my mom found out today she was with a friend who has covid. my mom had on a 3m n95 and surgical mask on top of it but they were together for 20 minutes. is it dangerous to get covid at same time as booster?

A booster shot of mRNA vaccine reexposes your imune system to a single protein that is present on the virus, allowing your immune system to more readily initiate an immune response should you be exposed. Since you already have two shots, you are protected, and with the booster, your imune system is on high alert for covid-19 virus. If you were exposed, your immune system is ready to fight it off.

Received covid booster Monday. Daughter has a cold and Im most likely going to get it too. Will this make my booster less effective since immune system will be working on fighting cold at the same time?
