My boyfriends dad had the pfizer vaccine he took both shots and he recently went to indianapolis but is home now and hes coughing im worried that hes sick is it possible you can still get covid 19 even if you took the two pfizer vaccines?

If it has not been 2 weeks since his 2nd vaccine, then he is not considered fully vaccinated. But, the fully vaccinated can still get Covid-especially the variant strains. But, the good news is that being vaccinated means he is not likely to get a severe illness from it. So, he should get tested and isolate until the test results are known. If positive, call his doctor. Good luck to him!

Would it be okay to take Robitussin (cough syrup) before/after a covid vaccine shot? I know we're advised against painkillers before getting the shot/s, but was wondering if that applies to Robitussin. It's a cough that comes & goes (not covid, tho?
