Did you get vaccinated ? Regardless whether you get vaccinated or not there is still a chance you can get COVID From my clinical experience those vaccinated with Pfizer can get COVID within 6 months of their vaccination and those that have Moderna within 8 months. The Israeli study has shown that those vaccinated with Pfizer have gotten COVID infections
This is how the CDC defines a vaccine breakthrough case:
“… a vaccine breakthrough infection is defined as the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen in a respiratory specimen collected from a person ≥14 days after they have completed all recommended doses of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.”
The CDC is always changing definitions of breakthrough. The unvaccinated in get COVID have a longer course and more sick than those that have been vaccinated. COVID is not going away anytime soon.
But, since the COVID-19 vaccines are not designed to stop infection but, rather, to only lessen the degree of infection, it becomes obvious that the new definitions by the CDC was created to cover the COVID vaccines.
Regardless it is your choice whether to be vaccinated. There are about 30 % of my patients who do not want the vaccination for many different reasons. Many of my patients have had the vaccination. Last year at the beginning of the pandemic we unfortunately lost more than 20 patients from this virus.
Now the decision for those that are vaccinated is whether he/she should get the booster. This is another discussion
