Senator Elizabeth Warren has revealed she has tested positive for COVID-19, despite being full vaccinated.
The 72-year-old elected official from Massachusetts shared her diagnosis in a series of tweets on Sunday, December 19.
“I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case,” she wrote. “Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted.”
In a subsequent tweet, Sen. Warren urged others to do their part and get vaccinated before providing a link to Vaccines.gov, where individuals can look up local vaccination locations.
As cases increase across the country, I urge everyone who has not already done so to get the vaccine and the booster as soon as possible – together, we can save lives. https://t.co/lyVapoCE3A
