She felt crappy all week. She took a fair amount of medication and did not know if it was relevant or not. She had other medications and had been on them for a long time.  No ER or physician's office required. She contacted with employee health but had not seen a provider. She planned to discuss with her provider because she wanted recommendation if she should receive vaccine 2. She realized it was a judgment call because she was only 50% covered after having the first dose. She was not sure if she will have a worse reaction with the second. Most people she talked to have no reaction but a significant reaction to the second one. She did not have any information on any of those that had a significant reaction.
