COVID-19 Oral History with University Libraries

I got covid June 2020, I was separated From my family. I was too afraid to get them sick. After me, my grandma got covid that October, which was terrifying as she is 75 years old. After that she was the one who encouraged me to get vaccinated so I could keep my loved ones safe.

my experience was good I didn't have any problems with the shot and went all easy. I got the Covid shot because I tend to get sick super easy, and I usually sick every other month even sometime every month. so me and my mom both decided it would be best if I got the shot. I feel good about getting the shot because I can be safer.

I was covid positive November of 2020. I lost my taste and smell for 3 whole days then it came back. I just laid in my bed for two weeks and did homework. It was really boring. I am thankful I didn't actually get really sick from it. In April 2021 I got vaccinated and have been fine ever since.

When getting my vaccine I was a little nervous about the side effects I may have, but I was glad to make an impact to slow the spread of COVID. I experienced little to no side effects. All I had was a sore arm and a little tired, but I get like that whenever I get a shot.

I wrote an essay recording my personal experience with COVID-19 and how it altered my life.

I donated my blog post about the neurological disorder I got because of Covid.
