An Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse in the United States has
tested positive for COVID-19, after taking Pfizer Inc. vaccine shot on December
18.
Matthew W., 45, spoke to ABC News San Diego affiliate KGTV.
The health worker recalled that after receiving the jab, he
only experienced arm soreness.
Six days later, after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit,
Matthew said he had muscle pain and fatigue.
A coronavirus test confirmed his positive status, ANI News
reports.
Dr. Christian Ramers of the Family Health Centre of San
Diego allayed fears about the situation.
The infectious disease expert said it was already
established from clinical trials that it would take 10 to 14 days for vaccine
recipients to develop protection.
“That first dose we think gives you somewhere around 50
percent and you need that second dose to get up to 95 per cent,” Ramers told
KGTV.
He added that it was possible that the nurse contracted the
virus COVID-19 before the vaccination.
