SAFETY EXPERT TROOPER STEVE, THIS IS NEWS 6 AT 09:00AM GETTING RESULTS.
>> JULIE: PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
DECLARED JUNE A NATIONAL MONTH
OF ACTION ORGANIZING IN ALL OF
AMERICA SPRINT TO GET MORE
PEOPLE VACCINATED AGAINST THE
CORONAVIRUS BY JULY. 4TH
EXPERTS SAY PERSON WHO’S HAD
COVID-19 STILL NEEDS GET
VACCINATED AGAINST THE DISEASE
NOTING THAT THE IMMUNE
RESPONSE AFTER HAVING THE
DISEASE IS NOT AS STRONG AS
THE DEFENSIVE RESPONSE THAT
OCCURS AFTER VACCINATION THERE
ARE COMMON SIDE EFFECTS AFTER
GETTING THE CORONAVIRUS
VACCINE. BUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN
IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD COVID
MORNING ANCHOR AND HEALTH
REPORTER KIRSTIN O’CONNOR IS
STANDING BY NOW TO ASK A
DOCTOR. ASK A DOCTOR IS
SPONSORED BY CAN BE PRIMARY
CARE FOR SENIORS.
>> AND WHILE IT IS RARE
STUDIES SHOW THAT IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT PATIENTS MAY
EXPERIENCE SOME INFLAMMATORY
STRESS AFTER A COVID-19
VACCINATION, ESPECIALLY IF
THEY’VE HAD A PREVIOUS
COVID-19 INFECTIONS. SO
JOINING ME NOW TO TALK ABOUT
THIS IS DOCTOR JASON
LITTLETON. HE’S AN MD CEO AND
CO-FOUNDER OF LITTLETON
CONCIERGE MEDICINE. AND WE’RE
SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU LIVE IN
THE STUDIO FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN A VERY LONG TIME. THANK
YOU. GLAD TO BE HERE. AND SO
LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS
INFLAMMATION AFTER HAVING THE
COVID-19 VACCINE. WHY IS IT
THAT PATIENTS WHO’VE HAD
COVID-19 ARE SEEING THIS POP
UP. SO THERE’S A THOUGHT HERE
THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD
NATURAL COVID INFECTION.
>> THEIR VIRAL PROTEINS THAT
CAN REMAIN IN TISSUES, TISSUES
OF THE LUNG TISSUE THE BRAIN
SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE GETS
VACCINATED AGAIN, THEY MEAN
RESPONSE COULD BE REACTIVATED
IN SOMETIMES TRIGGER A CRUMBLE
AND BALIK RESPONSE. AND SO
THAT’S THE CONCERN WE’VE SEEN
PEOPLE WHO’VE HAD BLOOD CLOTS
AND RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, WITH
THE J AND J VACCINE PEOPLE HAD
YOU KNOW, WHAT IS CALLED A
BLOOD CLOT AND THAT ACTUALLY
IN THE BLOOD VESSEL IN THE
BRAIN OK, AND THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN VERY
CONCERNING. PEOPLE BEEN
CONCERNED THAT MAYBE WE NEED
TO THINK BACK. WE NEED TO
THINK AGAIN. IF YOU’VE HAD A
NATURAL COVID INFECTION. MAYBE
YOU ONLY NEED ONE SHOT HIM.
>> AND SO I I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE
JOHNSON AND JOHNSON NEWS AND
THE BLOOD CLOTS. BUT SOME
PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE THAT
THERE ARE SCANS THAT ARE
POPPING AND THEY’RE SHOWING
MAYBE SOMETHING THAT’S NOT
THERE BECAUSE OF THIS
INFORMATION. CAN YOU TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. YEAH,
DEFINITELY. SO THIS IS IN
REGARDS TO MAMMOGRAMS THERE’S
THIS THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU GET A COVID VACCINE.
>> WHAT IS WHAT’S GOING ON IS
THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE
LEFT AT NOT THAT THEY AND THE
SLIP HAD NOT. BUT HE COULD BE
CONCERNED FOR LIKE A LUMP OR
CANCER. SO PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED. THEY WERE THINK GO
AHEAD AND THEY GO AHEAD AND
GET A MAMMOGRAM AND THEY
REALIZED THAT, YOU KNOW,
THAT’S NOT WHAT IT WAS. IT WAS
MORE RELATED TO THE COVID
VACCINE AND THIS IS NOT, YOU
KNOW, AN ACTUAL CANCER
CONCERN. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY
TYPE OF CONCERNING LESION.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU
SHOULD STILL GET CHECKED OUT
BY A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR. YOU
SHOULD STILL GO AHEAD AND HAVE
THE MAMMOGRAM, BUT THAT PEOPLE
ARE SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD
DELAY GETTING A MAMMOGRAM
UNTIL AFTER YOU’VE HAD THE
VACCINE SO THAT YOU WAIT SO
THAT THERE’S THIS THIS THIS
DISTANCE OF TIME. AND SO THIS
CAN HELP ELIMINATE SOME
DISCREPANCY.
>> CANDACE: SO WHERE ON YOUR
BODY WOULD WITH THAT
INFLAMMATION BE HAPPENING LIKE
IF SOMEBODY IS STARTING TO GET
CONCERNED ABOUT IT. CAN THEY
DO A SELF CHECK.
>> OF COURSE WE ALWAYS
RECOMMEND THAT PEOPLE DO SO
WHEN DO SELF EXAMS. BUT THE
SLIP AD NOT THINK IT HAPPENED
AROUND THE PRESS OR IN THE
ACC’S, LARRY PIT REGION. SO
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE,
YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY FIRST SEE
A LUMP IN THAT AREA. THEY DO
GET CONCERNED. AND SO THIS IS
WHY WE ALWAYS SAY IF YOU’RE
GOING TO GET THE VACCINE. WHY
DON’T YOU HAVE THE MAMMOGRAM
FIRST AND THEN GET THE VACCINE
OR WAY AFTER SAID THAT THERE’S
THIS DISTANCE OF TIME. OKAY.
>> BRIDGETT: WHAT ABOUT OTHER
VACCINES? I KNOW THAT, YOU
KNOW, MY DAUGHTER JUST HAD HER
4 MONTH VACCINE SOME THINKING
ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU KNOW, IF
ANYONE IS IS SIGNING UP FOR
VACCINES THAT THEY NEED TO GET
CAN THAT ALSO CAUSE
INFLAMMATION IS THIS TO THE
COVID-19 VACCINE. WELL
VACCINES IN GENERAL CAN CAUSE.
>> INFLAMMATION THAT CAN
SORENESS. THEY CAN CAUSE
FEVER, LOCAL REACTIONS. BUT
WHAT WE’RE FOCUSED ON HERE IS
THE COVID VACCINE AND THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN COME
MORE APPARENT RECENTLY. AND
THAT’S WHAT’S BEEN THE ISSUE
AS OF WOULD YOU CALL THIS A
SIDE EFFECT OR WOULD YOU CALL
THIS JUST SOMETHING THAT WE
SEE AFTER GETTING A VACCINE.
WELL, IT’S REALLY NOT A SIDE
EFFECT. IT’S MORE OF JUST A
LOGIC RESPONSE. AND SO THIS IS
THE BODY JUST WRAPPING UP TO
PROTECT YOURSELF IN CASE YOU
DO GET EXPOSED BY COVID. AND
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A
NATURAL RESPONSE. BUT IF
PEOPLE DO HAVE ANYTHING THAT
IS MORE ALARMING. THEY SHOULD
DEFINITELY THE PRIMARY CARE
DOCTOR NOW.
>> BRIDGETT: RIGHT. AND THAT’S
HOW I THINK EVERYBODY WHO HAS
GOTTEN A VACCINE IS PRETTY
FAMILIAR. THIS POINT THAT
THERE ARE WAYS THAT YOU CAN
SELF REPORT.
>> SOMETHING THAT’S A LITTLE
UNUSUAL, BUT IT’S IMPORTANT TO
FOLLOW UP. YEAH, DEFINITELY.
AND I’VE HAD MY OWN PATIENTS.
THEY’VE THEY’VE COME IN TOLD
ME, THEY SAID, HEY, DOCTOR,
JASON, YOU KNOW, WE’VE WE’VE
GOT I GOT THE VACCINE TODAY IS
MY VACCINE CARD. BUT YOU KNOW,
I’VE HAD MAYBE THIS SIDE OF
FEDERAL THAT SIDE EFFECT THIS
IS CONCERNING. IT MIGHT NOT BE
RELATED VACCINE AT ALL. BUT
IT’S SOMETHING THAT WE
MONITOR. WE WATCH AND WE TRY
TO SEE IF WE CAN CORRELATE IT.
ONE THING I WANT TO BRING UP
WITH THAT. THERE’S A PEN STUDY
OUT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
THAT SAY THAT, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE WHO’VE HAD COVID
INFECTION BEFORE YOU KNOW,
NATURAL COVID INFECTION, THEY
MAY ONLY NEED ONE SHOT AS
OPPOSED TO 2 BECAUSE THE THING
IS, IS THAT THEIR MEMORY B
CELLS AND YOU’VE GOT
ANTIBODIES THAT ALREADY THERE
THAT MEAN RESPONSES ACTUALLY.
VERY SUFFICIENT. SO THAT’S
SOMETHING YOU COULD ASK YOUR
DOCTOR ALL RIGHT. THAT’S WHY
WE DO THE SEGMENT. HOPEFULLY
