Write-up

I am a immunization nurse at this location.
I gave 2 of the first 4 Covid vaccinations given at our location.
Then I received dose # 5.
It was easy.
I did a couple of things and then returned to my desk.
As I sat down, my arm started feeling very heavy.
I was unable to send a text.
I told staff that I was feeling funny and that I was going to the other room to lay down.
Staff followed me and took my Pulse 100 and BP 164/ 82 (high for me!) .
I felt shaky, but my hands were not shaking.
Put a wet cloth on my head and laid there a few minutes, telling staff stories and laughing at my BP.
When I sat up, my BP was 126/74 and pulse was 80.
I stood up for a minute or two, then my legs got heavy and I sat down for a few more minutes.
I went to the bathroom and came back to my desk, but was weak and tired.
I ate and drank some fluids.
Because it was snowing and I live 25 miles away, I accepted a ride home from a co-worker.
I walked across the parking lot without problems and talked all the way home.
At home, I was tired, but had a sandwich and talked on the phone.
I would still describe myself as tired, but functioning.
