COVID 19 Vaccine First Dose Done

COVID 19 Vaccine First Dose Done

Where is the lie? (Relevant but not for long)

I had my first dose of the vaccine on March 26, 2021. As per WHO’s recommendation, SINOVAC isn’t advised for medical front-liners and then there was this debate that Medical Technologists such as myself isn’t really considered a front-liner and stuff but yeah that’s for another story. Maybe later in the post. 


Before coming to work, I already took one paracetamol to kind of prep myself for the whole procedure. I’m sorry, liver. 


To my surprise, they let us choose what to get and I actually don’t mind getting any of the two that is available but I opted for the one that is “recommended”. But it’s just me. You can get whatever you want. Just get it ASAP. 


This is me getting jabbed. Initial feeling is actually just pain on the area. Nothing really weird. 


This is my celebratory meal. Loved it. 


CHILLS. FEVER. DIARRHEA. VOMITING. HEADACHE. A little bit of all of that. Well actually, the headache was kind of severe on the second day that I was literally down. I actually took paracetamol every 4 hours after the first ever dosage that day but it still managed to fvkc me up. 


I switched to a different paracetamol but yeah I guess the way to deal with everything is to just let it be. I mean, take paracetamol sure, but there’s really nothing you can do with it. Just go with the flow. Now let me just go back with the issue of medical technologists not being a front-liner real quick. I don’t mind if it was said to me because we do not really cater to COVID 19 PATIENTS. So I guess I’m not a front-liner in that sense. But some of my acquaintances sacrifice/d a whole lot just to be invalidated by the government they’re trying to help. So you know, just be careful with the words you put out there because not everyone is the same.
