Research made by experts reveals that people test positive for COVID-19 after receiving first and second doses of the vaccine.
Research conducted by CDC observed post-vaccination COVID-19 among healthcare workers in Israel. Among 4,081 vaccinated healthcare workers in Israel, 22 (0.54%) developed COVID-19 between 1–10 days after immunisation.
In the US, Democratic Representative Stephen Lynch tested positive days after receiving the second dose of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and Iona Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Pitino was diagnosed with the virus after getting the first shot.
However, clinicians dismissed cases of people testing positive after receiving the COVID vaccine, as they claim it’s a side effect of the vaccine.
“Coronavirus disease symptoms can be mistaken for vaccine-related side effects during the initial days after immunisation. Clinicians should not dismiss postvaccination symptoms as vaccine-related and should promptly test for COVID-19,” the study reads.
