They wanted to see her on 07Mar2021 to check, and it is doing better. The patient was also asking, should she be somebody to get an antibody test, to see if it did it's job.

LOT EN6203 - She has a Band-Aid from the site kept in a freezer at home. The vaccination Center. She stated she feel really fortunate, she was just scared to death of getting covid. For some reason,  she got a bacterial infection that day, she have no way of knowing if it was the health care worker and bad technique, or bad vaccine.  Psychologically, there's something about not knowing if the vaccine is protecting me because she took these medications, she was not sure I have the protection, and it creates a level of anxiety.
