David, thank you for trying to help answer this question during class about the person with the strong reaction to the first COVID vaccine. What I was trying to get at was less about the person and more conceptual, i.e., would you suggest elderberry or anything like that at first signs of symptoms for someone who just got a vaccine? I'm wondering if elderberry or an immune stimulant would speed up the timing of the side effects or whether it's better to let the vaccine just run its course. Maybe for someone who has to get back to work quickly and can't take 2-3 days off to lie in bed? Thanks :)

I doubt anyone actually knows the answer to this, but also have doubts something like Elderberry would be of benefit for the symptoms caused by the vaccine. I think the best option would be to treat symptoms in this case. Muscle pain - Black Cohosh or possibly Horse Chestnut or Sweet Melilot (see below), headache (depends on the type and location of the headache) - neck pain - Passion Flower or Kudzu, dull, throbbing headache - Horse Chestnut, headache with sharp , stabbing pain - Sweet Melilot, etc, chills ginger or cinnamon

Sleep is deeply restorative, so yes sleep as much as possible, each nourishing food, some mild tonic herbs such as Codonopsis, Reishi, Goji Berry, Prince Seng, may offer some modest benefits as well.
