Oprah feared that a COVID-19 infection would damage her lungs even more, so she prioritized her well-being since the beginning of the pandemic and was very strict about meeting people and getting in contact with others this past year.
For Oprah, the first vaccine dose didn’t bring many side effects. As she wrote in her blog post, she only felt a high sense of relief and nothing else. However, she did experience fever after the second vaccine shot.
As you might know already, fever is the most common side-effect after vaccination, followed by pain in the injection site, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, and nausea, as mentioned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
However, according to the CDC, it’s important that people understand these side effects are normal and short-term. In fact, experiencing these side-effects is a good thing, it means your body is reacting to the vaccine by creating antibodies to fight a potential infection.

What about those of us who have had serious allergic reactions to other medications. In my case it was the Salk vaccine when I was 11 years old and I went into anaphalatic shock which resulted in giant hives the size of baseballs (both inside and outside) and cut off my ability to breath at one point. Then about 10 years after that there was a serious flu going around and we were told to take the vaccine shot for that. Again, a serious reaction. The doctor told me to never take penicillin. Also, my blood type is O positive. But the government wants all people to have the Covid vaccine and get ID cards which they will use to allow your coming and going on planes or other transportation – some say it may be necessary to show it when going to restaurants or shows. #1 why has no one told people like myself dangerous for those with high allergy reactions prior to just giving them a shot at Walmart’s or some other place without a doctor available. #2 If we cannot have the vaccine will they issue passes or are we to be locked up in our homes for years to come.
