So my daughter in nyc has covid

[cally]

Had the j&j vaccine. Fed not eat or work indoors with others. Wears masks in stores. Got it from a friend who is also vaccinated. She does not have symptoms yet. Just got tested so she does not infect others since friend got it


Stay safe out there!

1. I'm sorry to hear that all the precautions didn't completely block it.

But the odds are extremely good that she'll never get a severe infection.

Best wishes to your daughter.

2. Thanks

She’s fine so far. Just scary that she got it. Some of us are very vulnerable and we need to be extra cautious I live with someone immuno compromised. Haven’t seen my daughter but this is a wake up call

8. Booster shots for the immunocompromised are coming

FDA just approved them

3. Makes sense one can still test positive, as it takes the body some time to mount the defense

that the vaccine makes much stronger.

If you happen to get a test during the (I'd imagine) short window when your body is still gearing up, you test positive.

I'd bet she's going to be fine

4. Hopefully she never has any symptoms

Many millions of people will get infected and never even know it. We have had a few vaccinated folks get positive tests at work in the last month and have to sit out, the worst symptom one of them had was a runny nose.

5. Three vaccinated adults in my family have it

We just got out of quarantine. We think we got it from my 3 year old granddaughter who had a fever for a couple of days. My symptoms were mild but my husband did run a fever for over a week. He had the J&J, my daughter and I had the Pfizer. I was shocked we all tested positive.

6. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

COVID sucks.

7. She'll be okay, but antibody treatment if she gets symptomatic.

9. I'm guessing she was unmasked around her vaccinated friend?

That's one of the major reasons I've been urging people all along not to unmask.

[cally]

15. Yep, unmasked with friends in apartment for a short time

20. Is she though?

[helpisontheway]

21. Well..tested positive. If she tested positive then I would assume her immune system

is attempting to fight it off. But whatever…I’m just sorry that she tested positive.

[samnsara]

16. thank goodness she had the vaccine.

[MLAA]

17. Crossing my fingers for an a symptomatic or light symptom case!

[greenjar_01]

19. Please let us know if she ever develops symptoms

22. So glad she was vaccinated.

And all evidence points to her being just fine.

But people need to understand that getting vaccinated does not create an invisible protective shield around you. Of course the virus can get inside you, and of course you'll test positive. What vaccination does is kick in our immune sysrem's 3rd line of defense, which is somewhere between Seal Team 6 and Mad Max, leaning heavily towards Mad Max. When you're vaxxed, that army doesn't need 3 or 4 days to get up to strength to fight off the invaders...it's ready to go.

Listening to the media try to drum up hysteria about this is aggrevating as hell, and is doing nothing but giving ammunition to the anti-vaxxers. Look at it this way...putting on your seat belt will not prevent you from being involved in an accident, but will keep you from getting hurt if you do.

23. That's what we got - the J&J.

They ran out of Moderna by our appointment time, so they gave us the J&J instead. That was in March. And so far, NO problems.
