I thought that they warn for these symptoms nowadays and ask you to get medical attention immediately and that you're basically fine with medical attention, right?
(In the early days of the vaccine, like ~March in the US, I think there were one or two deaths because the word hadn't gotten out that this was a symptom that required immediate medical attention. But I haven't heard of serious negative outcomes - death or long-term illness - recently.)
- walterbell 5y agoIs that a formal warning as part of an informed consent disclosure? If so, the disclosure doc would be online and useful to many.
- geofft 5y agoI'm not sure - but I see this: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/myocarditis.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my... > Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms: > Chest pain > Shortness of breath > Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart > Seek medical care if you think you or your child have any of these symptoms within a week after COVID-19 vaccination. I think they also have a more general request to contact your doctor if you're experiencing side effects after more than a day or two, and messaging to doctors that they should be on the lookout for such symptoms. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/expect/after.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/expect/af... says, > Contact your doctor or healthcare provider [...] If your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days*
- kazinator 5y agoIn this case, the dots were connected a little late. Part of the problem was that the man didn't begin to experience the symptoms after over a week. And it was his second dose, too.
