Oprah Winfrey: I felt like superwoman when I got my COVID-19 vaccine

OHMYGOSSIP — Oprah Winfrey “felt like superwoman” after getting her COVID-19 vaccination.
The 67-year-old media mogul has admitted she has been “very much afraid” of contracting coronavirus over the past 12 months, so felt an “overwhelming sense of relief” when she was able to be vaccinated against the virus.
She said: “Stedman [Graham] and I were blessed enough to be able to create our own bubble at home during the pandemic. Anyone who wanted to come from outside had to be quarantined in our guest house for 14 days. No exceptions – not even Gayle [King].
“[I only left my bubble] twice in the past year: once for an eye infection, and a second time for a mammogram, which I delayed for three months.
“The first shot [of the vaccine], I wanted to cry but didn’t, just from the overwhelming sense of relief. I’d had pneumonia the previous year, and my lungs were still sensitive. I was very much afraid of the toll COVID-19 would take on me; it’s why I was so super strict about the goings and comings of everyone in my space.”
Oprah recalled having nasty side effects from her second dose including “fever, chills, and lethargy”, but said it was a “small inconvenience” in exchange for protection against COVID-19.
She added: “After the second vaccination shot, I didn’t feel well for about 30 hours. I had all the classic symptoms: fever, chills, lethargy. But it was such a small inconvenience to be protected against a virus that’s killed so many. I thought a lot during that time about the more than half million people in this country who lost their lives because of this virus, and what they had to endure.”
And even though she’s now fully vaccinated, she isn’t taking too many risks, and has only left her house for important work tasks such as interviewing Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan.
Writing for her new digital platform, Oprah Daily, she explained: “Afterwards, I felt like superwoman. But it hasn’t changed my habits. I’ve still gone nowhere other than to do the interview with Meghan and Harry.
“I’m not ready to whoop whoop just yet … but eventually, I will ease into group gatherings. For now, I’m just grateful beyond description to have the vaccine.”
