A nurse from the south of the country who was vaccinated yesterday with the second dose of the corona virus, in surprising testimony about the side effects of the second vaccine: “I would not want people not to be vaccinated. It is just important to me that they know about the side effects of the second vaccine
Nearly 2 million citizens of the State of Israel have already been vaccinated with the first vaccine dose for the corona virus, on Saturday night the second round of the vaccine began, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was vaccinated with the second vaccine against the corona virus.
A 34-year-old nurse from the south of the country, without a problematic medical background, turned to Mako this morning (Monday) and recounted her ordeal after receiving the second vaccine dose, emphasizing that her whole purpose is for people to be aware of it, and God forbid not to take the second dose at the same time. The experts reassure and clarify “this was expected”.
At the beginning of her speech, the nurse clarified: “I would not want people not to be vaccinated. It is just important to me that they know about the side effects of the second vaccine, which may be more severe. I received the first vaccine exactly 22 days ago. “When I was vaccinated against the flu. The only thing that happened after the first vaccine was that my hand hurt in the place of the vaccine for about two days. Besides, I was fine.”
The problems started with the second dose of vaccine, which the nurse repeated: “In the second vaccine I did not have the injection. I was vaccinated around 10 in the morning, towards noon I started to have really severe nausea and vomited. I felt dysfunctional. I had a headache, dizziness, weakness. I had crazy muscle aches, like in the flu, my muscles ached and a little chills. I also had stiff teeth, like when it happens when I have a fever. I felt burning, really hot. I had severe nausea, I could not eat. I had stomach cramps. My body went crazy, “I took dexmol, and took 50 drops of liquid Optalgin. I was only able to fall asleep in the morning.”
“When I contacted the vaccine nurse, she said that the information on side effects could be passed on, and that many people experience more severe side effects with the second vaccine. I spoke to two other women here who feel bad after the vaccine. Someone with flu signs who did not come to work today and someone with chills, nausea “And some of the people who were vaccinated yesterday are fine,” said the nurse.
On the other hand, Dr. David Dvir, a family doctor and head of the primary care department at the United Health Insurance Fund, reassured and said to Mako: “Although only yesterday we started the second dose vaccination campaign in Israel, In Israel, one case of an anaphylactic reaction was observed, a system crash that required immediate treatment, with an incidence of one in half a million vaccinators. That is – severe cases are extremely rare. In any case, when you are not feeling well, you can always consult your family doctor in a frontal or online manner, and in extreme cases you can go to the emergency room. “
Dvir added: “It is important to note that the Ministry of Health is working to set up a website that will present data on side effects among vaccinators in order to provide full transparency on the subject. And bottom line: keep in mind that overall the consequences of the disease may be much more severe than the vaccine.” “Severe and mild symptoms are expected to pass within a few days.”
Dr. Uri Lerner from the Madat organization added and clarified that this is not a surprising statistic: “During the experiments, they did see that the frequency of side effects increases in the second dose. However, no serious or long-term effects were documented. In any case, it is important to report any unusual side effects to your family doctor. And it is important to remember – these symptoms do not indicate that the vaccine is dangerous or harmful, but simply that the immune system responds. The purpose of the second dose is to increase and preserve the immune memory that is created, so that the vaccine will be effective and long-lasting, and thus prevent the disease. “
