Hello
Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service
I have gone through your question, I understand your concern.
Yes vaccinations sometimes can lead to acute febrile illness and malaise, joint pain for few days after vaccination.
So yes your symptoms could be due to vaccination.
Second thing you asked that, is it due to over dosing. My answer is, no there is no such side effect of overdosing.
This is normal side effect of single dosing also and I assure you there is nothing to worry.
You will be fine within 4 to 5 days just take Paracetamol whenever required you will be OK.
I hope your query is clear now.
Thanks and regards

I have taken 2 boosters. Do I need to take one or two boosters more?
If I take it anyway would that harm me or current pains I have?
Will the additional vaccine can cause any other disease ?

You do not need to take booster anymore, but if you do take then there is no harm and that will not cause any disease to you and your further doses will not affect your current condition.
So don't worry it all depends on you whether to take or not, because in both condition the effect will be same.
I hope your query is clear now.
