Headlines Politics U.S.

An ER nurse has contracted Covid19 – one week after being vaccinated against Covid19.

KGTV in San Diego reports:

In a Facebook message posted on December 18, Matthew W., an ER nurse at two different local hospitals, talked about receiving the Pfizer vaccine that day. He told ABC 10News his arm was sore for a day but he suffered no other side effects.

Six days later on Christmas Eve — after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit — Matthew, 45, became sick. He got the chills and later came down with muscle aches and fatigue.

The day after Christmas, he went to a drive-up hospital testing site and tested positive for COVID-19.

Medical experts are claiming the positive test is not unexpected or abnormal, and are reminding the public that second doses of the vaccine are needed.
