Patient clarified the second dose time was 1200 and patient was unsure what time the first dose was given. No prior vaccinations. Patient has not received any vaccines in many years. No adverse event following prior vaccinations: he usually feels pain, when he is given an injection. The only time he knows he is getting an injection is that he feels pain before, not after. He clarified he has no reaction. Patient went about a week and a half ago (reported on 07Apr2021) to the doctor for a blood test for some other reason, cholesterol and stuff, and the doctor also did an antibody test. The COVID Antibody test came back negative, which he finds very interesting. Patient was concerned that he had a negative covid-19 antibody test even though he has received both Pfizer covid vaccines. He is concerned that his vaccinations weren't effective. Patient stated that his wife has also been fully vaccinated, but her antibody test was positive for covid-19 antibodies. Patient called the Administration and they said oh antibody tests are no good. Patient would like to know how he knows if he is good or not? Patient reported he went to the Cardiologist for a general/annual appointment and provided them with this information about not having antibodies after receiving both doses of Pfizer Covid Vaccine. The Cardiologist recommended caller go get the Johnson and Johnson Vaccination. Patient was not sure what to do now and feels he is between a rock and a hard place. Patient stated by the way they spoke to an immunology specialist, and she said the caller should not take any other vaccine and nobody should be testing for antibodies and nothing is wrong with the patient. On 13Jan2024, the patient said he is taking Paxlovid because he was diagnosed with COVID on Tuesday (09Jan2024). Patient said he started taking Paxlovid yesterday and would like to know if the medication will take care in getting rid of the contagiousness of COVID right away. Patient was sick and has COVID.
