The following information was reported: VACCINATION FAILURE (medically significant), COVID-19 (medically significant) all with onset 28Dec2022, outcome "unknown" and all described as "got COVID 19 after being completely vaccinated /was like having a bad cold or flu". The event "got covid 19 after being completely vaccinated /was like having a bad cold or flu" required physician office visit. The events were reported as non-serious. Clinical course: The patient had his most recent COVID 19 vaccine. He has completed a primary series and his booster doses. He got COVID-19 infection two weeks ago. He tested positive for COVID on 28Dec2022. He stated it was not bad, it was like having a bad cold or the flu. He was supposed to stay away from people with a mask on for 5 days, and then he can supposedly go back to work as long as he stays away from people. His next doctor's appointment wasn't until Jun2023. So, he hasn't even talked to his doctor about this. He tested positive at home, and called his doctor, but they told him to go to the walk in. He had to go to Walk in and take another test which was positive for COVID. His doctor put him on a Covid antiviral, LAGEVRIO (molnupiravir 200 mg capsules), for 5 days: 4 in the morning and 4 at night. The day after he finished the medication, he tested himself for COVID and was positive. He waited two days and tested again, and he was negative. He was testing negative for Covid-19 as of yesterday, 08Jan2023, and he would like to get the "new COVID-19 vaccine." He would give it another 48 hours, and test tomorrow. If he would be negative again, he thought that meant he no longer has the virus in his body. The pharmacy did tell him some people can test positive for a couple months or more. He waited two weeks after that last booster and got a Flu shot. The patient was asking if there are recommendations for "a third booster" in addition to his bivalent dose received 09Sep2022. He was trying to decide if he needed another one because his neighbor said she was going to get a third booster. He said he didn't know there was a third booster. He asked how much time he must wait after testing negative for COVID-19 until he can safely get another COVID-19 Vaccine. He also asked if blood clots have been reported as a side effect of the bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine. His last physical at the doctor was amazing. The doctor said he looked amazing that he didn't have to come in for a year. He was very healthy.
