Gatchalian posted another update, stating that he felt pains similar to other vaccine injections.
“So far, I only feel some heaviness on my left arm where they injected the vaccine, and a pain level of 2/10 whenever I move it. This is very common for any vaccination or any intramuscular injection. I’m also experiencing mild malaise, or that feeling when you’re about to get sick. But overall, I feel fine and I was still able to go to work and drive,” shared Gatchalian.
The United States is rolling out its coronavirus vaccination plan with Pfizer. The US government also recently approved another vaccine, Moderna, for emergency use. (TDT)
