Fatigue, Soreness, Nausea: Getting 2nd COVID Vaccination In NJ - Parsippany, NJ - Patch Editor Russ Crespolini shares his experience receiving the second inoculation at a New Jersey mega-site.
Harvard Medical School Professor Andrew Budson says that s not because you get stuffed up like you would with a cold or the flu.

He s worried an attack on the brain could lead to long-term memory problems. Adding that Coronavirus also reduces blood oxygen levels which can cause brain damage. In addition, COVID-19 increases the chances of older people having mini-strokes which temporally cuts off blood flow to your brain. Budson thinks that might explain why some people who already recovered from coronavirus still deal with brain fog.

A new white paper from The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) highlights the variety of challenges that persons with dementia-related psychosis and their caregivers have encountered during moves through different health care settings and proposes strategies to address these challenges.
