Matthew W, the nurse who tested COVID-19 positive, said that after he received the vaccine, he had sore arm for a day but there were no other side-effects.
According to the report, six days later he fell ill on Christmas Evening, after working his shift in a COVID-19 unit. He suffered from chills which later converted into muscle aches and fatigue. He then went for testing and was found positive for COVID-19 a day later, report added.
Christian Ramers, Infectious Disease Specialist, San Diego, said that the consequences were not unexpected.
