As they have the ability to, individuals are obtaining vaccinated in large for the coronavirus.

I can comprehend why people intend to get the vaccination. They simply want to shield themselves from the virus that has been wrecking our country.

People simply wish to get back to living their normal lives as soon as possible. For some, that will certainly never happen because there have actually been businesses ruined, work lost, homes seized, and friends and family that have actually died.

The first round of vaccinations is being administered to the senior population, those that are at high risk, as well as frontline workers.

One such frontline worker in the San Diego area obtained the Pfizer vaccine on December 18th. After that, just eight days later, he ended up testing positive for COVID-19.

He stated that he started really feeling sick on Day 6 post-vaccination, stating he was really feeling fatigued and having chills and also muscle pains.

“It’s not unexpected at all. If you work through the numbers, this is exactly what we’d expect to happen if someone was exposed,” said Dr. Christian Ramers, an infectious disease specialist with Family Health Centers of San Diego. He serves on the clinical advisory panel for the county’s vaccine rollout.

He points out, it is possible Matthew was infected before receiving the vaccine, as the incubation period may be as much as two weeks. Dr. Ramers says if Matthew did contract it after the vaccine, it’s still in line with what we know.

I haven’t had COVID, but everyone that I’ve talked to developed symptoms about 2-1/2 to 3 days after exposure. So while it is possible for it to incubate for two weeks, it’s really not likely.

There are absolutely pros and cons that need to be evaluated out before making a decision regarding whether or not you should be one of the individuals who gets the vaccination when it comes time for you to be able to. I would urge you to see to it that you have all of the details to make a smart choice.
