Post COVID vaccine symptoms
Reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine have been pretty minor for some of our local healthcare workers, most of them only seeing as much as a sore arm.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – About two weeks ago, healthcare workers got the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, so it’s time to check in and see how they are feeling.
Channel 8 News talked to several healthcare workers at CHI Health hospitals across the state on how they are feeling post COVID vaccine. The majority of our front line workers who have received the shot say they haven’t had many symptoms at all, mostly just some arm pain.
“An honor,” said Cory Shield, an internal medicine hospitalist at St. Elizabeth.
“You can take my mask off and see me smile,” said Ryan Martin, a pulmonary critical care physician at the hospital.
The first COVID-19 patient checked into St. Elizabeth on March 17. After receiving the vaccine, frontline workers reflected on what the past nine months have been like.
“It’s every day,” Martin said. “You’re looking at somebody every day. Wanting something to change and wanting something to improve and frankly you don’t have any significant number of tools that you can use to help them out.”
