Nothing dramatic was reported by the front-line medical workers who received the COVID-19 vaccine earlier this month in Saline County. “I had a very mild sore arm for about 24 hours,” said Dr. Robert Kraft, CEO and chief medical officer at Salina Family Healthcare Center. “It was much less painful or symptomatic than the flu shot I get every year. A similar sentiment was echoed by Dr. Rob Freelove, chief medical officer at Salina Regional Health Center. “My arm was sore for a couple of days,” he said. SRHC has been closely monitoring side effects of the 938 people who were immunized “in the first go-round,” he said. “Most common side effect has been tenderness or arm soreness. Some had redness, and there were some complaints about body aches and headaches, and we have had some report fevers.”
The Salina Journal After reporting 283 new cases Wednesday, Saline County has now passed 4,000 total COVID-19 cases while an additional death from the disease was also reported. The county said the dramatic rise in cases being reported can be attributed to free testing becoming available broadly in the county. “More than 1,400 people were tested for COVID-19 during the free-testing events this week,” said Jason Tiller, director of the Saline County Health Department and county health officer. “This highlights the importance of being tested even if you are not experiencing symptoms, so you can take appropriate steps to not spread the virus to others.
