MORE
MORE OREGONIANS BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR THE COVID VACCINE YOU MAY
BE WONDERING WHAT DOES
VACCINATION DAY ACTUALLY LOOK
LIKE?
LIKE?
LIKE? WELL, HERE ON SUNRISE WE'VE
SHOWN YOU SOME OF THE BEHIND
THE SCENES BUT IT'S DEFINITELY
WORTH REVISITING.
WORTH REVISITING. SO THIS MORNING WE'RE CHECKING
IN WITH SALEM HEALTH.
IT'S VACCINATION CLINIC AT THE
OREGON STATE FAIRGROUNDS HAS
BEEN A BIG SUCCESS.
JOINING ME NOW IS DR. JASMIN
CHAUDHARY.
CHAUDHARY. SHE'S AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE
SPECIALIST AT SALEM HEALTH.
DR. CHAUDHRY, GOOD MORNING TO
YOU.
YOU.
YOU. >>
YOU. >> SO GLAD THAT YOU'RE HERE TO
KIND OF WALK US THROUGH THIS
PROCESS.
PROCESS.
PROCESS. CAN YOU TELL ME IF SOMEBODY
ALREADY HAS THEIR APPOINTMENT
SCHEDULED?
SCHEDULED? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT THEY
SHOULD DO THE MORNING OF TO
PREPARE FOR THAT MORNING?
>> BRENDA, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HAVING ME TODAY.
I DO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE
THAT STARTING APRIL 19 ALL
OREGONIANS 16 AND OLDER WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE VACCINE.
AND WHAT I USUALLY TELL MY
PATIENTS IS GO ONLINE OR TALK
TO YOUR DOCTOR AND GET MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
INGREDIENTS THAT ARE IN EACH
OF THE VACCINES.
>> IT'S WIDELY KNOWN
INFORMATION AND ONE OF THE
CONTRAINDICATION FOR THE CDC IS
IF YOU EVER HAD ANAPHYLAXIS
WHICH IS DIFFICULTY READING TO
ANY OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE
VACCINE IF YOU'VE HAD AN
ALLERGIC REACTION TO A
MEDICATION IN THE PAST OR
YOU'VE HAD A RASH TO APPROVE
THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED A
CONTRAINDICATION AND YOU CAN
STILL PROCEED WITH THE VACCINE
THE MORNING OF I DO NOT
RECOMMEND TAKING ANY BENADRYL
OR ANY KIND OF ANTI ALLERGY
MEDICATION SIMPLY BECAUSE IT
COULD POTENTIALLY MASK ANY SIDE
EFFECT THAT COULD HAPPEN OR IT
COULD DELAY THE SIDE EFFECTS
WHICH AGAIN I WANT TO REMIND
EVERYONE IS EXTRAORDINARILY
RARE BY HER STUDY IT TRANSLATED
TO ABOUT FOUR POINT SEVEN CASES
PER WOULN MILLION AND IN THE
BEALLE DURING THE STUDY IT WAS
APPROXIMATELY TWO POINT FIVE
CASES PER ONE MILLION.
>> SO AGAIN, VERY RARE.
OK, CAN WE FOCUS REAL QUICK ON
THE MASSIVE VACCINATION SIDE AT
THE STATE FAIRGROUNDS?
CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY EXPLAIN
WHAT PEOPLE CAN EXPECT WHEN
THEY GET THERE AND HOW LONG IT
USUALLY TAKES?
USUALLY TAKES? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. SO THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES
ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF
AND FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD BY
MY PATIENTS, IT IS REALLY WELL
ORGANIZED.
ORGANIZED. THERE'S PLENTY OF STAFF MEMBERS
AND SCIENCE AVAILABLE TO DIRECT
YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO.
THE REGISTRATION TAKES PLACE
OUTSIDE SO PLEASE DRESS
ACCORDINGLY FOR THE WEATHER
AND WE DO HAVE A NEAT LINE OR
PATIENTS THAT HAVE MOBILITY
ISSUES AS WELL AS A SEPARATE
REGISTRATION AND MINI CLINIC OR
PATIENTS THAT HAVE DISABILITIES
.
.
. >>
. >> THE
. >> THE WHOLE PROCESS TAKES
ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF.
SO AFTER GETTING THE SHOT I
KNOW YOU SAID THAT THE SIDE
EFFECTS ARE EXTREMELY RARE BUT
WHAT SHOULD SOMEBODY EXPECT TO
FEEL AFTER THEY GET VACCINATED?
>> SO AFTER THE FIRST DOSE
RIGHT THERE AT THE THE
FAIRGROUNDS YOU'LL BE DIRECTED
TO A SEPARATE AREA FOR ABOUT 15
TO 30 MINUTES AND YOU'LL JUST
BE OBSERVED TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING WENT OKAY.
WE HAVE HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL
RAINERI
RAINERI IS AVAILABLE IN CASE THERE IS A PROBLEM.
>> TYPICALLY IN THE STUDIES
THEY DID FIND THAT IF YOU WERE
AGE SIXTY FIVE OR YOUNGER YOU
ARE MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP THE
T REALLY JUST FEELING UNDER THE
WEATHER MAYBE SOME MILD CHILLS
,NAUSEA EVEN SOME PEOPLE ALSO
HAD MILD FEVER AND THAT IS
TYPICALLY SEEN AGAIN IF YOU
WERE YOUNGER THAN SIXTY FIVE
AND AFTER THE SECOND BUT IT CAN
BE AFTER THE FIRST DOSE FOR ME
FOR EXAMPLE IT HAPPENED AFTER
MY FIRST DOSE AND IT WAS MILD.
I WAS STILL ABLE TO GO TO WORK
THE NEXT DAY IT CAME ABOUT
ABOUT TWELVE HOURS AFTER THE
SHOT AND IT LASTED ABOUT DAY
AND A HALF THE PAIN AT THE
INJECTION SITE LASTS ABOUT
THREE TO FIVE DAYS.
ALL RIGHT , DR. JASMIN
