waiting for vaccination.

On 6 July 2021. Finally it's my turn to get myself vaccinated for the 1st dose of Pfizer. And I am allergy to seafood person. So after the dose. I let myself stay at the observation area for 40min before I leave... HM... Everything seems great.. so I left and carry on my daily life...

On 7 July 2021 around 8pm.. I have this itchiness on my arm.. I didn't notice what since I usually maybe allergy to dust... But looking closely.. I noticed that gives developed on the injected area and some part of my left arm where I was injected... I was concern of cos... Got to see a doc tmr I say... 

Next day I visited the doctor.. and she mentioned it maybe the allergy reaction of the vaccination and recommend me not to proceed to the dose 2 and consider others like Sinovac. However. Sinovac was not recognise yet.

On 5 August. Received a SMS notification for MOH. Telling me that from the record of me allergy to dose 1 of mRNA therefore dose 2 is not applicable. They assigned me for a non-mrna vaccines under their special programme and want me to registered them. And I did on the same day...

On 12 Aug 2021. Finally MOH acknowledge my registration for the special programme. Mentioned they will arrange for Sinovac vaccine to be taken and was told not to took the Sinovac from any private clinic 

On 24 August 2021. NUH called me pertaining to the special programme to get the Sinovac... But I was told my earliest slot to get the 1st dose will be on 22 Oct 2021... I was like WHAT??? That was 2 mths away... And no other alternative was given... With no other choice.. I would have to wait.... And wait and wait... And letting all the restriction provided by the govt to makes my life miserable and also giving me more vulnerable each and everyday with the numbers if COVID increasing... 

COVID 19 and my relationship with it

It's never expected to be one of the patient of a COVID patient. Ever since the numbers kept increasing. I kept telling myself not to go out to do any social mingling especially when I am not fully vaccinated. But never do I expect that I got it from my mum who works as a customer service in a coffeeshop. Before I can get my last dose of the vaccination

It's been a long wait since... I have called MOH on 22 aug. Seeking advise as should I proceed with my dose 2 to complete my vaccine since I see the allergy symptoms I have is not severe. MOH mentioned I can go down for assessment and so I did. 

On 24 aug 2021. I proceed down to the vaccine clinic. However I was rejected. They said that based on the MOH guideline.. I am not able to receive my dose 2 due to my allergy. Regardless how I explain. They said that I need to get a doctor to send me to an allergy test lab to test on the allergy on dose 2 and make sure I am ok in order to have my complete vaccination. What the hell... I have made the clinic written Mr a notice to informed me of my rejection instead ppl thg I am against it. This is absurd... 

So I visited the doctor. Referring me to specialist for allergy test. But I have been waiting  for a month from them to call but no one approached me until 6 Oct 2021. And told me that the test only have a slot in Dec 2021 which is the earliest... now between my appt to 1st dose of Sinovac is just 1 week away. Therefore I have forgo the test and might as well stick to the appt for sinovac.. and so I wait... It's been so long.. and finally I am able to get my vaccination done... 

And things... Happen...

On 18 Oct .. my mum told me her workplace have a positive case. So I quickly told her to do the ART test.. thanks God. Hers was negative.. we were so relieve. 

On 19 Oct.. I kind of having bodying aching and feverish... Diarrhoea as well

On 20 Oct. My mum told me her ART failed.. f*472...I told her to quickly go to see a doc and confirm it by doing the PCR test... I told ART on 20 Oct too but I was negative.. I was relieved.. but my body is telling me otherwise

On 20 Oct received a SMS from MOh told me that I can go for reassessment on the dose 2 as their new guidelines now allow dose 2 if my reaction is more than 4 hours from the dose 1. Damnit.. and only at this moment they informed and at 5.15pm

Right.. so I have to make myself go to the clinic for assessment if possible I get my dose 2 on 21 Oct and I can cancel the Sinovac on 22 Oct. 

But things just work the other way round... On 21 Oct before I needed to go for my reassessment.. I knew my body is not right.. and with my mum being a confirm case. I insist on doing the ART first before I leave my house... 

And on 21 Oct. My ART test is positive . PCR has also proven positive .. 🙄
