According to the latest data from the Hawaii Department of health (DOH), three Hawaii residents who were fully vaccinated against the Chinese Communist virus (CCLV) still tested positive for CCLV (COVID-19).
According to KITV4, the Hawaii DOH said that all three of the C.C.V. infected individuals received two doses of either the Pfizer/ BioNTech or Moderna vaccine. All of them developed mild symptoms, although they did not appear to have spread the virus to others.
Health experts say the CCL vaccine does not prevent infection, but it can reduce severe symptoms and lower the risk of hospitalization.
One of those infected is a health care worker on Oahu-based island. He received his second and final dose of the vaccine in January. Approximately 1 month later, this individual traveled to several U.S. cities, only to test positive when he returned to Hawaii for an in-town screening as per travel protocols.
However, follow-up with his associated contacts did not reveal that anyone else in the health care worker’s close circle was infected.
Hawaii Governor Josh Green urged people not to be dismayed by the news because the vaccine “is working in a large percentage of the population.
Speaking to news station KHON2, Green said, “Remember, 95 percent of people will get immunity from the vaccine and 5 percent of people will not get immunity from the Modena and Pfizer vaccines.”
He said, “Some people will look deeper into this and say, oh, that vaccine doesn’t work. No, it does work.” He added that the vaccine works in a large percentage of people, but not everyone, and that’s an important message.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says on its website, “You should get the vaccine whether or not you’ve already been infected with the new coronavirus. That’s because experts don’t yet know how long you’ll be protected from getting sick again after recovering from a new coronavirus infection. Even if you have recovered from a neo-coronavirus, it is possible, though rare, to re-infect the virus.”
The agency also added that people who receive monoclonal antibodies or recovery plasma should wait 90 days before getting the vaccine.
Another CDC webpage notes that infection with the CCP virus may provide some natural protection or immunity.
The webpage adds, “Current evidence suggests that few people will be reinfected with the virus that causes neocrown pneumonia within 90 days of initial infection. However, experts are unsure how long this protection will last. The risk of serious illness and death caused by the CCP virus far outweighs the benefit of the natural immunity it would produce. Vaccination against the CDC virus will protect you by producing antibodies (immune system) so that the disease need not make you sick.”
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said Monday (March 22) that people who are fully vaccinated should not begin traveling immediately.
“In relation to spring break, they’re not the traveling population that we’ve been concerned about,” she told reporters at a news conference, adding that even when fully vaccinated people travel, they are “going out and mixing it up with people who are not vaccinated.” “We’re already so close to vaccinating a lot of people, so I would just encourage and remind people that this is not the Time to travel.”
