    What’s The Point? ER Nurse Tests Positive For COVID-19 Eight Days After
    Receiving Vaccine.

    A San Diego, California ER nurse has tested positive for COVID-19, just
    eight days after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.

    After taking the vaccine on December 18th, nurse Matthew W. felt fine.

    Six days later he came down with the chills, muscle aches and fatigue after >> working a shift in a COVID-19 unit.

    Two days later and still under the weather, Matthew took a COVID-19 test
    that came back positive.

    Dr. Christian Ramers, an infectious disease specialist involved in the
    vaccine rollout at the county level, told ABC 10, “It’s not unexpected at
    all. If you work through the numbers, this is exactly what we’d expect to >> happen if someone is exposed.”

    Dr. Ramers notes Matthew could have had the virus before he took the
    vaccination, and says he knows of several other local cases where healthcare >> workers became infected after taking the vaccine.

    “That first dose we think gives you somewhere around 50%, and you need that
    second dose to get up to 95%,” Dr. Ramers said.

    Dr. Ramers also reminded the ABC 10 audience that even after receiving the >> vaccination, masks, handwashing, and other COVID protocols will still be
    necessary.

    So, if we can still get the virus after being vaccinated and still have to >> adhere to social distancing, mask laws, etc., then what’s the point of the >> vaccine in the first place?

    The point is that many people are circulating around who are
    infected without betraying symptoms and we must protect ourselves from
    these carriers. Mask and social distance help. Safest contacts are via computer. Even when 70% or more of the population is vaccinated and
    herd immunity is attained people will still get sick if not vaccinated
    and refuse to mask and socially distance themselve


    A vaccine does not give instant immunity; it takes two weeks after the
    flu shot for it to be fully effective.


    Absolutely right.
