I usually shrug off these kinds of scares off but this time, I'm listening. On the recommendation of the public health officials, I got vaccinated yesterday. OTOH, I suspect that the vaccine is probably worthless in preventing infection if the exposure was a week prior i.e., I still have to be on the lookout for symptoms for up to 50 days. The best one could say is that there's no telling what can happen in the next 6 weeks. How exciting is that?!
