Covid Protocol 3:- After vaccine I have Developed throat irritation or Cough

General complaints after vaccination

If a patient complains of throat pain or sore throat, nasal symptoms, mild cough or mild breathlessness after getting either first or second dose of vaccination, is it because of vaccination?  

The answer to the above-mentioned question is “No”. This is because, the vaccine cannot cause these symptoms as it is administered only in the muscle. Hence, you can get a muscle COVID-19 instead of respiratory COVID-19 after either first or second dose of vaccination. If you experience the above symptoms after first or second vaccination, it cannot be induced by the process.

Other reasons of pulmonary symptoms

• Flu or 

• Covid infection acquired before, during or after vaccination. 

Prevention from Covid infection during vaccination

In order to prevent yourself from being infected during vaccination, wear double masks at the vaccination centre. 

Do not remove your mask while registering yourself, but rather talk through it. 

It has been reported that people are getting infected with the COVID-19 virus at the vaccination centre by patients who are COVID-19 positive yet asymptomatic .

In summary

Although some patients may complain of sore throat, cough, shortness of breath, and nasal symptoms after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, it may not be vaccine induced. You cannot get a pulmonary or respiratory COVID-19, but muscle COVID-19. This is because the virus, genes or proteins are introduced in the muscle, not anywhere else in the body.
