Clinic Sister Thobekile

shares her vaccination story

Saiccor Mill’s Health and Wellness Sister, Thobekile
Sibisi, got her COVID-19 vaccine shot recently.
We caught up with her to find out more about the
experience.

What was it like deciding to take the vaccine?
I was a little bit scared and nervous at first, because I
did not know how my body would react after taking it.
But I reminded myself that I needed to do this for my
benefit, and I have nothing to lose. After a few minutes,
I was done, as if nothing happened.

What are some of the myths you have come across
about the vaccine?
I have not personally come across any myths, but the
fact is, there are common side effects eg headache,
fatigue, muscle pains, fever and chills, nausea, or an
arm that is sore and red at the area of injection. The
side effects show your body is mounting an immune
response. Side effects can start around six hours after
the vaccine, peak at 24 hours, and resolve in two to
three days. If you need to, you can treat pain and fever
with paracetamol. I only experienced a slight headache
and fatigue a day after I took the vaccine, and this l
asted for only one day. The next day I was perfectly fine.

Were you forced to take the vaccine? COVID-19, you are very unlikely to get severely ill or
No, absolutely not! I was not forced at all. I decided to die from COVID. Employees may contact OHC if they
be vaccinated. People need to understand that opting have any questions; including assistance with online
to take the vaccine is voluntary. However, to reach registration.
herd/population immunity, South Africa is aiming to
vaccinate 67% of the total population. Hence, we urge
as many employees as possible to consider taking the
vaccine.

Would you encourage others to take the vaccine? Employees can contact Sister Thobekile or the

Yes, definitely. If you have been vaccinated and still get OHC for more information on taking the vaccine.
