A Hungarian doctor explains in a diary what happens to his body after vaccination

Dr. Ákos M. Lőrincz The immunologist announced on Facebook that he would start a diary after being vaccinated against COVID-19.

In Friday’s first entry in the newspaper, the expert wrote about the preparation for vaccination, the procedure itself and the vaccine used.

The doctor said he received the vaccine in muscle tissue and then waited for the 30 minute observation. “For the next 5 hours, a slight pain reminded me of the vaccine, I had no other symptoms; side effects are well listed on the package insert. I had some fatigue in the afternoon, which immediately made me feel “good”, but my wife thinks it has nothing to do with vaccination, but with on-call services and writing articles at night.

Dr. Ákos M. Lőrincz works as an internist in the cardiology department of the Szent György Hospital, currently contributing to the care of those infected in the intensive care unit by the epidemic. He is also a part-time assistant professor at the Institute of Physiology at Semmelweis University, and his research interests include the interaction of the immune system and pathogens, and extracellular vesicles.
