Four Oregon Vaccine Recipients Test Positive for COVID-19

Now, we all know the vaccine is not infallible.

Even so, news that people who have received the vaccine are testing positive is starting to get some ears up.

Last week, a story broke regarding a member of Congress that had been vaccinated testing positive, and now a similar story has come out of Oregon.

Vaccinated and Positive

According to reports, two people in Yamhill County and two people in Lane County that received the vaccine all tested positive.

The good news is that the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) also stated that they all avoided any serious symptoms of the virus.

All four of the individuals tested positive 14 days after having received the second dose.

The OHA stated, “Clinical trials of both vaccines presently in use included breakthrough cases.

“In those cases, even though the participants got COVID, the vaccines reduced the severity of illness.”

All things considered, the vaccines are doing well, but this is something officials will continue to monitor.
