Pfizer Vaccine volunteer counted side effects

An American nurse who participated in the clinical trials of the Pfizer vaccine recounted her experience in trying to shed light on the consequences of the injection, which were exacerbated when she received the second dose of the antigen.

Kisten Choi participated in human trials during the third phase of the investigation which involved 30,000 US citizens. Her social commitment led her to volunteer and she quickly received a call to receive the vaccine the same day. The first dose only gave her a slight pain in her arm which made her doubt that she had been inoculated with the real antigen or a placebo.

However, a month later he was inoculated with the second unit of Pfizer’s vaccine and it was then that he developed major adverse health effects. “My arm quickly became painful at the injection site, more so than the first time. At the end of the day, I felt dizzy, cold, nauseous and had a headache, ”he explained in an article published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

A few hours later, his condition worsened slightly, raising his temperature to 37.4 degrees Celsius, above the threshold that marks the onset of the fever. After sleeping for a few hours, her fever worsened to 40.5 degrees, so she took paracetamol and called the researchers to report any symptoms.

The nurse asks for more transparent information on side effects
Despite the bad weather, the doctor appreciated the role of the vaccine in generating an “effective immune response” that ended the Covid-19 pandemic. However, he regretted that there was no better communication with the population to inform them of the symptoms they will present during the injections.

“Doctors will need to be prepared to discuss with patients why they should trust the vaccine and whether its side effects could be very similar to Covid-19,” Choi insisted.

The nurse asked her colleagues to make an effort to be able to say in a didactic way that the vaccine causes side effects such as fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain or fever, which are precisely the They indicate a contagion of the coronavirus .

“I was scared when I saw I had a fever, and my gut reaction after months of examining myself for all possible symptoms of Covid-19 was: do I have Covid- 19? “
