AOC details her experience receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and how she felt afterwards. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took her followers on Instagram through the process of obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine, after the members of the congress received vaccination instructions, this week. The Bronx native shared a video of how he was preparing for the shooting, the injection, and how he felt afterwards, all in an attempt to increase public confidence in the vaccine: “I would never, ever ask you to do something I wasn’t willing to do it myself, “she wrote. Later, she updated her fans about her symptoms: “I have a small muscle pain in my arm, which is not unusual with any blow. The second thing I feel is fatigue – but it’s also been a long time since I’ve had a break, “the representative said, referring to the weekend marathon session on Capitol Hill. The AOC also explained how the COVID-19 vaccine differs from other vaccines: “It’s kind of the difference between if you had a burglar and then broke into your house and you learn to fight it versus if someone given a picture of the burglar… If you see that picture and you see that guy heading to your house, you’re like, “oh, I know the guy, he’s a burglar,” the 31-year-old said.
