Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of drug ineffective, covid-19. Clinical course: Patient has reported needing Paxlovid. Patient had COVID after COVID vaccine shots. The patient confirmed that she never had COVID before. What actually happened was her husband was in the hospital, and he came home and then he went to see his primary care doctor on 09Sep but while he was in the hospital, the hospital was very cold, and he caught a cold. So, when he came home and he went to see his primary care doctor, they did not do anything about it, he was coughing but he was not coughing real bad but that last Wednesday he started coughing really bad. So, the patient called his doctor, and they told her to give him some cough medicine and then she (the patient) started coughing too. The patient caught his cold, so she called her doctor yesterday morning and was told to come to the office and she will be evaluated. When she went to her doctor, she gave her a test, and confirmed she had COVID. The patient was prescribed medication for COVID and took the medicine (name unspecified). Other than that, she had only taken cough medicine because she did not know any better. She took the cough medicine because she thought it was a cold and had coughing and runny nose. The patient was upset about it because every time it was time for her to get her covid shot, she got it and last shot was in Mar this year. She was angry about that and a little disappointed because every time she was supposed to get the covid, she went to the pharmacy, and she got the covid shot every time. She was so hurt and so angry, because she did everything she was supposed to. The patient is feeling better now. No follow-up attempts are possible.
