AOC details his experience receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and how he felt afterwards. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to her followers on Instagram during the process of obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine, after members of Congress received instructions to be vaccinated this week. The Bronx native shared a video about her preparation for the shot, the injection and how she felt afterwards, all in an attempt to increase public confidence in the vaccine: “I would never ask you to do something that she was unwilling to do. do it myself, ”he wrote. He then informed fans about his symptoms: “I have some muscle pain in my arm, which is not unusual with any shot. The second thing I feel is fatigue, but it’s also been a long time since I had a break, ”the rep said, referring to the weekend marathon session on Capitol Hill. AOC also explained how the COVID-19 vaccine differs from other vaccines: “It’s something like the difference between if you had a thief and then he broke into your house and you learn to fight him if someone gave you a picture of thief …. if you see this picture and you see this guy walking towards your house, you’re like “oh, I know him, he’s a thief,” the 31-year-old said.
