Vaccinated Los Angeles doctor diagnosed with COVID-19, warns about breakthrough cases: report
Dr. Eugene Choi, a Los Angeles-based radiologist, said in an interview published Saturday that he came down with COVID-19 despite receiving the vaccine about six months ago. The report pointed out that his wife—who was also vaccinated—was also diagnosed with the disease.
"Even when I think about it today, it’s crazy," he told the station. "I can’t believe I have COVID."
A recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that Pfizer and Moderna are about 90% effective against infection once two weeks after the last dose have passed. The one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine is about 72% effective against moderate to severe disease, according to U.S. trials.
At least 933 people in Los Angeles County, who have been vaccinated, have reported breakthrough cases.
