A California nurse has tested positive for COVID-19 eight days after receiving the vaccination. ER nurse Matthew W., received the Pfizer vaccine on December 18, according to a post from Instagram. But on Christmas Eve, Matthew, who works at two different hospitals in San Diego, began feeling sick after working a shift in the COVID-19 unit. Regulators of the Pfizer vaccine have found that the best immunity against coronavirus comes seven days after the second dose, which is given three weeks after the first, meaning there is a possibility that someone who had received the vaccine could still contract the virus within that time frame. All patients need two doses of the vaccine to achieve immunity. If Matthew did contract the virus after the vaccine, it’s still in line with what health care professionals know.
'We know from the vaccine clinical trials that it’s going to take about 10 to 14 days for you to start to develop protection from the vaccine,' Ramers said. He also said that he's aware of other cases where health care workers became infected around the time they received the vaccine. 'That first dose we think gives you somewhere around 50%, and you need that second dose to get up to 95%.'

This means it is possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and get sick. This is because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.
Regulators said there was evidence of 'partial immunity' just seven days after the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
But they insisted the best immunity comes seven days after the second dose, which is given three weeks after the first.
It remains a mystery as to how long immunity against Covid lasts for, with top scientists warning that people may need to be vaccinated against the disease every winter, like the flu.
I’ve never had a flu shot, nor the flu far as I’m aware...and I’m 56.
I’ll never get the COVID vaccine either for multiple reasons. A friend who works on our local ER told me that it’s a known fact among health care workers the immunity it provides probably only lasts around 90 days. Things that make you go hmmmmm?
The purpose of the story is to get the masses to doubt the efficacy of any vaccine...
Same is true for flu vaccines really.
95% effective after two doses.He only got one.
I don’t doubt vaccines normally work, or at least help. What I am totally against is f’ing up my NATURAL immune system which has worked very, well for decades. Not to mention this virus has already mutated and I’m not getting sh*t pumped into my body every year to try and prevent what may or may not happen.
I’ve always thought the flu shot took 2 weeks to be effective...I get one every year
...also had a tdap.......did not want to take this, but the commercial about Grandma turning into the big bad wolf......scare new parents
That vaccine was supposedly not effective for 2 weeks As well
...and was only seven days into Dose #1.
With all the stories of melons, Coca-Cola drinks, and unused tests returning a positive along with all the false positives, are they sure the nurse is actually a positive?
Same is true for flu vaccines really.

I was gonna say, if I remember my microbiology, just because you have developed antibodies and other immune markers for a certain viruses, it doesn’t mean you wont get the virus at all. It just means you beat it a lot faster than you otherwise would.
Theoretically, it’s possible to catch something you’ve had before, or something you’ve been vaccinated for, and test positive for it after you’ve been exposed. You probably shouldn’t have it as long or experience nearly as bad of an infection, because your system should catch up to it fairly quick... just like variations of the flu
Not only that, but the vaccine was called 95% effective, not 100% effective.
He tested positive. So what? You get immunized for a disease, your body produces antibodies. I was immunized for hepatitis for college back in the 90s and I still have hepatitis antibodies. This is basic science.
Was this nurse symptomatic? That’s the important question. And even if he was, they’ve said outright that the vaccine may bring about symptoms. Why is this even a conversation?
Don’t forget your Vitamin D... or are you the type who works outside in shorts in the Deep Southern heat?
Your friend is demonstrably incorrect based on data from millions of people. Immunity lasts for a minimum of around 9 months that we've already observed. Based on the genetic stability of SARS-CoV-2, it's anticipated we'll see at least 2-3 years of immunity.
The media promote the vaccine as a shield, when it is nothing like that. Low information reporters providing information to low information publick.......and I spelled publick this way on purpose. Too many folks today just lick up the pubic info they are given.
“The purpose of the story is to get the masses to doubt the efficacy of any vaccine...”
Yep - and we have our share of shark-jumping concern trolls here doing the same thing.
I’m not a fan of a lot of vaccines, but it’s reckless to dissuade folks from making their own decisions - the wife says she will take it and I won’t...I love my wife but am not her boss.
Where do you get the HCQ?
