How to Prevent COVID Vaccine Arm Soreness Using Zero Medication
Hint: It involves a simple arm exercise, thanks to TikTok
You wake up early on a Monday morning, patiently waiting your turn on your healthcare portal to book a COVID vaccine. The light at end of the tunnel seems nearby, you only need to wait an hour and 20 minutes to get there. You seem anxious, yet happy that things are finally turning for the better.
Boom! You’ve done it. You managed to book yourself an appointment for next week. You’re ecstatic given how difficult the booking conditions normally are, but, nervous about what’s to come next. You even indulge in stress-eating leftover food from the previous night.
The day is finally here. You arrive ten minutes earlier than suggested on the booking. This was intentionally done to pacify your out-of-control anxiety levels. You’re directed towards different counters for registration, COVID screening, and other final instructions.
You’re placed in a queue behind a young teenager (anywhere between 18–19 years of age) for the shot. The environment doesn’t seem to faze him at all. He’s busy watching a TikTok video on his phone, possibly looking up the latest tunes he can groove to once he arrived home.
