Great news. Will make it much simpler next year. Will also make the flu vaccine significantly more effective.
Definitely! Having the flu jab in one arm and the COVID one in the other makes it hard to sleep on your side for a couple of days! This will be much easier.
Plus, when I went for my shots this year, they ran out of the Covid shot, so had to back the week after.
That’s pretty good.
After the COVID jab I couldn’t raise my arm above shoulder level, or put my hand behind my back for about 6 months. My wife had to help me put on and take off my jacket. I assume it attacked the nerve or muscle in that jab area, and took time to regenerate.
Im glad I got function back, because you take two arm mobility for granted and it makes tasks super tricky.
Sounds like they accidentally just hit a nerve. Hopefully fully recover.
Could be, wasn’t painful at the time though.
Yeah, that is not even close to a standard side effect. Sore/stiff arm for a day or two? Normal. Six months? See a doctor long before then because something else is happening.
Yeah I went to the doctor and he said he’d seen a lot of these odd COVID shot side effects, but as quick as it happens they clear up and so there’s no real solution, just have to wait it out.
But not as bad as my friends wife, she was paralyzed on the side of the shot, she lost muscle control of her one eye, and face muscles on the one side. She also chokes on food because one half doesnt realize food is coming down. Doctor said maybe 7-10 years for nerves to sort themselves out. If they ever do.
Canada had set up a fund for people to claim against for these severe cases.
Hopefully we can eventually get something like the inhaled vaccines that some countries have. They seem to be less reactogenic (but also less effective)
That said operator error on a puffer is probably a lot less serious than a needle.
What did doctors say?
He said we see it often with COVID and as quick as it comes it disappears so there is no real diagnosis we give out. Just gave antiinflammatory meds to help, but it didn’t do much.
84 years life expectancy for Canada here we come!
Yay!
