Houston vaccine expert Peter Hotez has tested positive for COVID-19, the physician said Monday.
"Looks like I've tested positive for COVID, moderate symptoms of fatigue, headache, sore throat, isolating at home doing zoom meetings," he posted on Twitter. "I'm grateful to have been vaccinated/boosted, which certainly prevented more severe illness. Just started Paxlovid. Transmission up, be careful."
Hotez is the dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children's Hospital.
At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Hotez quickly became a prominent voice in local and national media. He has continued to chart infection rates in Texas and the U.S. His work stretches further, with other efforts focused on vaccinating people across the globe.
