You’re fully vaccinated and beyond the window of time of developing immunity – you can live like normal, right? (with no fears of contracting Covid)

Not necessarily.

  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Loss of taste

Sounds familiar? Yep. Except that these were symptoms experienced in someone fully vaccinated. (1)

Then came the muscle aches and extreme exhaustion.

Five full days of feeling awful.

About a month yet to get back to normal.

Fully vaccinated, but still horrible symptoms.

This individual shares a few key lessons learned:

  • Still practice caution – mask-wearing & social distancing are important.

Yes, it is known that an individual can still contract Covid even if vaccinated. Then that person can spread Covid to others.

(I personally wonder if Covid is spread more in certain circumstances because the person has thrown “caution to the wind.”)

Interestingly, this individual tested negative for Covid, even though obviously experiencing symptoms.

Here’s the case report:

  • Two rapid antigen tests performed (taken a day apart) = negative results on both
  • PCR blood test performed = came back positive
