Afraid pharm tech. messed up COVID vaccines

Went to Walgreens a week ago with my 3 boys ( aged 13, 11, and 9) and got the Moderna COVID vaccine as well as the mRNA flu shot. We had zero side effects which has never happened before. Not even a sore arm. Pharm tech seemed unsure of it all and even forgot bandaids and we bled all over... Also did not change gloves between people. It has always been a severe reaction in the past for us all (we have some immune system issues) but none of us showed any symptoms. Fast forward to today and my husband got the same shot at a different pharmacy. He's laid up with fever and chills and joint pain like we always used to get.

So what are the chances that we somehow didn't get immunized properly? I'm very stressed as I have a newborn and I wanted the shots to protect her via my breastmilk and also my kids who go to elementary school. Any advice on what to do next? From what I could tell from pharmacy tech he had to "draw the vaccines up" so I'm wondering if it wasn't the prefilled kind which makes me more leery that a mistake could happen.

Any helpful advice on next steps greatly appreciated.
