Who would have thought Princess will eventually go for the Covid-19 vaccine? Seriously, no one can force me to do what my mind is against unless I am convinced to.
When covid-19 came around, we were told to take the vaccine, just to be safe, but I decided not to, because I believe I do not have it and besides, I am always safe.
The worst of it then was hearing of peopleĀ“s death after taking the vaccine, and that again made me not to take it because I fear death š
I went on living my life and one thing about me is that, I do not take anything serious even if it is happening around me because I believe it cannot happen to me. When we were told to use face mask, I donĀ“t use it until it is been enforced as a rule especially in my school. "If you are not with face mask, you will not be allowed to write test or exam."
It became a rule we cannot go against because who would want to miss writing exam? That is one of the things that can make me succumb and obey such instruction.
My friends have been telling me to go for the vaccine before it is too late.
"What will be too late?" I asked them
DonĀ“t you know it will be asked when registering for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)?
What? Is it compulsory we take it? Is it not my body? Why would government enforce such rule just because we are going on a compulsory one year service to our country.
Still, I needed to confirm from other people who have done the NYSC registration to be sure if they are asked to present their Covid-19 results. They told me itĀ“s compulsory.
That was when my jaw dropped and decided to go for it. Then, I have seen those who took the vaccine complained of being weak all day, and I was scared because all my mind kept ringing "death." š
I summoned the courage to take it yesterday when I went to submit my questionnaires to my supervisor. It didnĀ“t take me 20 minutes for everything to be done.
I was injected and told not to rub the particular place and I went home. I didnĀ“t feel anything until I got home. I was working on my system when my eyes were gradually dimming. My body became weak instantly and I slept off.
I had to put my phone in silent and switched off the data so no one would disturb me. I checked the time before sleeping and I slept for two hours.
When I woke up, that was when I started feeling pain on the hand I was injected on. I couldnĀ“t lift the hand and it really affected me.
I started using the other hand to do other things and it was difficult using the other hand to type, when on a normal day, I use both hands to type.
Is this how someone feels when he takes the vaccine? Now, I was told to come back after three weeks for the second dose.
Before I slept last night, I applied shea butter and it made me sleep, but waking up this morning, though it has reduced but still feeling the pain on my hand.
I couldnĀ“t do my exercise for dreemport challenge but had to suspend it till evening to see if the pain would have subsided then.
At least, I have done my Covid-19 test and it would come in handy when going for service.
I was also told they will inject us through the nose when we go for NYSC camp. I am beginning to get scared and I just hope, before my time, they should cancel the instruction. Lol
