The patient stated that she is calling about the COVID Vaccine, she just had the shot at 7:50AM this morning. After getting the shot she heard that she is not suppose to get the shot if she had tested positive for COVID before the vaccine. She wanted to know if this was true or a rumor. Back around Nov2020 she did test positive for COVID. It was the week before the holidays on Wednesday 18Nov2020 when she lost taste and smell, she then got tested on 19Nov2020 Thursday then got results Friday or Saturday morning, the weekend before the holidays that she was positive. The test was a nasal swab. The girls in the office said she was not suppose to get the shot if it had not been 3 months. When she had COVID shot they didn't tell her if she could take it or not. This morning she woke up everything was fine, she drove over to get vaccine, after they put the vaccine in, they made her wait 15- 30 minute, while waiting she was getting a headache, then the headache went away and she then felt funny in the head. She was a little nauseous then that went away. Then she had this overwhelming feeling of tiredness like she could go to bed. She felt bad a little bit. When she then drove back to work at the school she had this funny taste in the mouth. Her boss wanted to call and see if this is all normal. The date of first dose was 13Jan2021, all the symptoms she experienced occurred within half hour of receiving the vaccine. She thinks she is fine. At the moment she does not have the taste in mouth any longer and her headache left. She still feels funny in head as well as she just feels bad inside, she has the feeling of overwhelming tiredness, she just feels like something is coming on, like she knows she is getting sick. She has no Lot or Expiry to share, she vaccine CDC card is outside in the car and not physically with her.
