JAKARTA - A 45-year-old nurse in California has tested positive for the coronavirus more than a week after being injected with Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, the ABC News affiliate reported on Tuesday, December 29.
Reported by Antara on Wednesday, December 30, Matthew W, a nurse at two different local hospitals, said in a Facebook post on December 18 that he had received Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine, telling ABC News affiliates that his arm had been sore all day without experiencing any other side effects. .
Six days later, on Christmas Eve, the nurse fell ill after serving in the COVID-19 unit, he said. He shivered and then felt muscle aches and fatigue.
He also went to the hospital's COVID-19 test site and tested positive the day after Christmas, according to the report.
Christian Ramers, an infectious disease specialist at the Family Health Centers of San Diego, told the ABC News affiliate that the incident was shocking.
"We know from clinical trials of vaccines that it will take about 10 to 14 days for you to start developing protection from vaccines," said Ramers.
"The first dose we think gives you about 50 percent and you need a second dose to get up to 95 percent," Ramers continued.
