Over 100 Fully Vaccinated People in Washington State Test Positive for COVID-19

March 31, 2021

More than 100 people in Washington state have tested positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated, authorities said March 30.

Epidemiologists have found evidence of 102 so-called breakthrough cases since Feb. 1. That number represents 0.01 percent of people in the  state who have been fully vaccinated against ... COVID-19. The CCP virus is also known as SARS-CoV-2. Eight of the patients required hospitalization and two, both over 80  years old with underlying health issues, died. All contracted the virus  more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated refers to people receiving both doses of the  vaccines produced by Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech. A third option, from  Johnson & Johnson, is a single dose. The cases are confirmed with a positive test. Investigators then work to determine details on what happened. "It is important to remember that every vaccine on the market right  now prevents severe disease and death in most cases.

"Finding evidence of vaccine breakthrough cases reminds us that, even if you have been vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask, practice socially distancing, and wash your hands to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others who have not been vaccinated." According to U.S. drug regulators, Pfizer's vaccine is 95 percent  effective in preventing infection of the CCP virus. Moderna's was shown  in a clinical trial to be 94.1 percent effective, while Johnson &  Johnson's was 66.9 percent effective. Officials in Idaho told reporters last week that breakthrough cases have been recorded, although the number was fewer than 100. South Carolina authorities said this week that 134 such cases have been identified throughout the state. Dozens of patients in Florida have contracted the CCP virus more than 14 days after being fully vaccinated. In the March 2 release, state officials told health workers that they are "investigating COVID-19 infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic) among people who are appropriately vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine"...
