The following information was reported: COVID-19 (medically significant), VACCINATION FAILURE (medically significant) all with onset 08Apr2022, outcome "recovering" and all described as "Tested positive for Covid after vaccination". The event "tested positive for covid after vaccination" required physician office visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: (10Apr2022) Positive; (10Apr2022) Positive. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of covid-19, vaccination failure. On 08Apr2022 she started feeling sick. She tested positive on 10Apr2022. The patient came down with a head cold or what she thought was a head cold. She had bad cough and that kind of thing. The doctor suggested Paxlovid. Started Paxlovid on 12Apr2022. She tried it within the 5 days. She took 12 pills for two days, and she thought it was really pretty good. When she took it, it seemed to settle everything. She was also taking an expectorant. It seemed to calm her body down. Thought it made her a little sharper. Possible that part of Covid had dulled her senses. She felt that the medicine really did help her for two days. Couldn't get to doctor until Monday, so the doctor said wait and see how the patient felt. Caller could only get it at certain pharmacies. She started Paxlovid within the 5 days. She still had the cough. The patient took Tylenol after the vaccination; one 500mg tablet. When she got home she was okay, but she's sure she took it before bed and probably when she got up the next morning. She just had the extreme tiredness. She took 500mg vitamin C every day and she was not sure if that was a factor. She can't take NSAIDs.  The patient stated (in regards to masking) they all got lax. She had to get hearing aids last year. The hearing aids were a pain with the mask. That was one of the reason she wasn't always masked. She went to the symphony and started with the mask on at the symphony. The symphony, she had been there before, but had always been masked. She had a singular seat, so she took her mask off, but it was crowded. Thought she was overreacting because only 1% was masked. She didn't have the mask on when she walked out either. It was probably her Achilles heel at the symphony. She was also around her grandson a lot. She was worried that she watched him that Wednesday (13Apr2022), and she slept in the bed with him that night. So she was worried because she got sick that Friday (15Apr2022), he has not been boosted, but he had been vaccinated and was okay. He's around kids all the time and not masked at school.; Reporter's Comments: :
