Clinical narrative: I got the 2nd dose in April 2021 at 7:30 at night. After that, the arm the shot was given in started to hurt. I was ok until about 18 hours later on Saturday I started to feel very tired. I started to get a headache and muscle aches. I took my temperature and I had a fever over 100 degrees so I just stayed bed that day. I didn't do much or eat much. I took Tylenol. Sometimes if the Tylenol didn't work I would take the Butalbital APAP CAS 50-325-40. I took maybe 1 or 2 doses of that. That lasted Saturday, Sunday, most of the day, and possibly all the way to Wednesday. I didn't have any congestion, but I did have a little bit of scratchy throat too. I was felling better by Tuesday.   About 3 weeks later after receiving the 2nd dose I started going out. I was still wearing a mask and not trying to be around many people. I had small gatherings with people who wore a mask and were all vaccinated. I am a school teacher. July 2020-May 2021 I was on a health leave of absence because my doctor didn't want me to be exposed to anything because there was no vaccine available at that time. July 2021 I went back to work. The teachers report back a week before the students. The county changed their protocol and said that teachers need to wear mask while with children but it was voluntary. We had a meeting with the faculty of about 50 people and not many of them were wearing their mask. On the first day of school Tuesday August 10, 2021 I had 18 children between 8-9 years of age. When the kids came to school it was voluntary for them to wear a mask. We have a thing for meet the teacher and allowed a maximum of 4 families at a time for a half an hour. Most of them that came to my room wore a mask. Many of my students had mask on but not all of them. We swap students to where I teach 16 students in the first group and then 16 more students in the second group. That was the second day. I have my students in a room that is fairly small and the AC isn't the best but it works. I have the students grouped in 4 desks. Tuesday night I get a phone call from my secretary that one of my students tested positive for covid. That student isn't in my home room  but in my block when we swap the students. I had to tell the secretary who were sitting by the girl who tested positive. The kids that were sitting beside her had wore a mask and so did the girl as well. They told the kids they didn't have to quarantine because they had a mask on. I wasn't close to the girl and neither were the other students so we didn't have to quarantine. Students were in and out of school because of kids testing positive for COVID and having to quarantine. On August 18th it was mandatory for students to have to wear a mask unless they had a doctors note for a good reason to opt out. When the kids wore the mask, the kids mask would fall down their nose and had mask that didn't fit properly. One little boy pulled his mask down to talk, but I told him he didn't need to do that. Some had gator mask, paper mask, and cotton mask. August 23, 2021 I went to school on that Monday and  I was really tired when I got home. My throat was scratchy when I went to bed that night. I woke up the next morning and my throat was really sore. I had a slight fever and called my secretory at 4 in the morning. My secretary called the people over the COVID testing and scheduled an appointment for me for a COVID test. I went to the appointment and they did the rapid test on August 24, 2021. I tested positive for COVID. My fever had went up over 100 degrees. I went home and isolated and didn't go out again. My fever went up to 102.8, and I felt exhausted. My muscles and joints were aching. I had chills but it didn't last that long. I went and got a medication called monoclonal antibodies, which is supposed to help the symptoms, at a health department 1hr away from me. Our governor procured these antibodies. There were about 15 people ahead of me when I got there. We stood for about 50 mins in the heat at about 89 degrees. When I finally got in, I sat there and had to wait for an hour. When it was my turn, they gave me 4 shots. One in each arm and then one on each side of the stomach. I had to wait to make sure I didn't have a reaction and I didn't so I drove back home. The fever lasted for about 4 or 5 days. I didn't have breathing issues but I was very congested. I was coughing and had a fever. I lost my taste and smell and that lasted for about 6 days. Once my fever broke I felt really tired. I still had the scratchy throat, fever, and congestion. I missed three weeks of school. The day I went back was September 13th 2021. We wasn't required to get a negative test but only to quarantine for 10 days. My symptoms lasted longer so I didn't go back to work after only 10 days of quarantine. The congestion went away I got my smell and taste back. After my fever broke is when I had lost the taste and smell .On September 13, 2021 I felt exhausted when I went back to school. I still have the cough in the morning and during the evening. When I went back to school I was wearing a mask except when we took kids to recess. The past two weeks my students are back. It seems like the covid spread is leaving the 3rd grade and moved on to another grade level.  I'm not fully recovered still.
