Got my booster this morning, DH just tested positive

[ThePug]

Can anyone stop me worrying that I've done a stupid thing getting my booster today please!

My 3 year old caught COVID 15 days ago at a kids party (we know this as lots of others since tested positive) - he started with symptoms 11 days ago and got a positive pcr test the next day - mine, my husband and 5 year olds all negative. My 5 year old and I were coughing and sneezing from last Saturday so we went for another pcr (3 days after the first) - both negative. I've done LFTs on us both since and all negative so we assumed it must be a different bug, and he returned to school on Tuesday having discussed with school first.

My husband started sneezing on Thursday and did an lft on Friday which was negative so again he assumed he'd caught what DS1 and I must have.

Today I went for my booster (Moderna, I'm T1 diabetic). Got home, DH decided to do another lft as hadn't done one yesterday - positive. Shit. Mine still negative.

I'm now concerned I've had the booster but could actually have COVID just not yet shown up on tests yet. I told the nurse my 3 year old had it, I'd had a cold but tested negative on pcr & LFTs since so she said it was ok to have it. If DH had got the positive before my appt I probably wouldn't have gone though

Any words of reassurance of anyone who caught Covid very soon after having a vax?!

There is no actual danger if you have the vaccine and covid at the same time.

The reason why you are advised to wait 28 days between is so that side effects from the vaccine can be easily distinguished from the effects of covid.

Neighbor had covid his wife never caught it. Weird virus

Don't worry, it should not cause you problems. Lots of people developed COVID just after their jabs, before they had a chance to be fully effective.

I just had covid a few days after my 3rd full dose.

Vaccine on Tuesday. Tested positive for covid following Monday - having had symptoms for a day or two.

Honestly, it's been like a bad cold but I only really had one day of being too sick to do anything. And I'm CEV.

My mum is in her 60s and had the same scenario, plus fibromyalgia and has take a little longer (2-3 days) to shake it off but is on the mend too.

Don’t worry, there will be many people who had the Covid jab when they were positive and didn’t know.

Thank you so much, that's what I was hoping someone was going to come along and tell me!

I've ordered pcrs for husband, ds1 and me anyway as we're still close contacts so will see. I moved into the spare room (as DS2 still comes into our bed) so he was snuggled up with DH so I'm hoping that's why he's got it and I may have escaped! We agreed he should be the sacrificial one as he isn't CV like me.

I tested positive for covid 2 or 3 days after my first vaccine and only had really mild side effects x
