Oprah Winfrey feels like a ‘super woman’ after getting fully vaccinated

American media personality Oprah Winfrey is opening up about how she feels being fully vaccinated.

Penning an essay after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, the talk show host said she feels blessed to have gotten the jab.

She wrote for her new digital platform Oprah Daily and 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],” she said.

She also revealed that she was also very strict with her own self as well as she left her bubble only “twice in the past year: once for an eye infection, and a second time for a mammogram, which I delayed for 3 months.”

Speaking about her first jab, Winfrey said: “The first shot, 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,” 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,” she said.

“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,” she wrote.

“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,” she shared.

She further said that after the vaccine she “may have an outdoor taco party” when her friends are also fully vaccinated.

“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,” she added.
